I was configuring Zabbix for our cPanel servers. A few years back I had configured Zabbix with Manual mount points. But this time, I want to use the File System Discovery to make the setup easier for the team.
The default configuration of Zabbix will detect all the virtfs mount point from the cPanel servers but this is not needed for us since virtfs mount points are just hardlinks in cPanel.
Below is the configuration I have done on my Zabbix, Please feel free to comment if you need any help on the configuration.
Define the Regular Expressions
Administration >> General >> Regular Expressions (Right hand side DropDown)
New Regular Expression Name : File systems for discovery exclude Expressions: Result is FALSE /virtfs/
2. Modify the Filesystem Discovery In template.
Switch to the Template you are using. In mycase Template OS Linux
Configuration >> Templates >> Click on the template you are using of you are not using any custom one, it should be Template OS Linux
Click on Discovery Rules >> Mounted filesystem discovery
On the window, Click on FIlters
Modify the below settings
Type of calculation: AND
Filters: Add a new one
Label Macro {#FSNAME}
Regular expression: @File systems for discovery exclude
Click on Add and the Update. Now it should look like the below.
If you dont want to wait for another 1hour to reflect the same.
Modify the Update interval in Discovery Rules to be 2m or 5m to see the changes fast. Revert it back once the rule is tested and verified.
