zabbix
=========
Install and configure Zabbix on your system.
Example Playbook
----------------
This example is taken from `molecule/resources/playbook.yml` and is tested on each push, pull request and release.
```yaml
---
- name: Converge
hosts: all
become: yes
gather_facts: yes
vars:
zabbix_server: present
zabbix_web: present
roles:
- robertdebock.httpd
- robertdebock.mysql
- robertdebock.zabbix
```
The machine you are running this on, may need to be prepared, I use this playbook to ensure everything is in place to let the role work.
```yaml
---
- name: Prepare
hosts: all
become: yes
gather_facts: no
roles:
- role: robertdebock.bootstrap
- role: robertdebock.epel
- role: robertdebock.python_pip
- role: robertdebock.remi
remi_enabled_repositories:
- php73
- role: robertdebock.php
- role: robertdebock.mysql
mysql_databases:
- name: zabbix
encoding: utf8
collation: utf8_bin
mysql_users:
- name: zabbix
password: zabbix
priv: "zabbix.*:ALL"
- role: robertdebock.httpd
```

Included version(s)
-------------------
This role [refers to a version](https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-role-zabbix/blob/master/defaults/main.yml) released by Zabbix. Check the released version(s) here:
- [Zabbix](https://www.zabbix.com/download).
This version reference means a role may get outdated. Monthly tests occur to see if [bit-rot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot) occured. If you however find a problem, please create an issue, I'll get on it as soon as possible.
Testing
-------
[Unit tests](https://travis-ci.org/robertdebock/ansible-role-zabbix) are done on every commit, pull request, release and periodically.
If you find issues, please register them in [GitHub](https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-role-zabbix/issues)
Testing is done using [Tox](https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and [Molecule](https://github.com/ansible/molecule):
[Tox](https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) tests multiple ansible versions.
[Molecule](https://github.com/ansible/molecule) tests multiple distributions.
To test using the defaults (any installed ansible version, namespace: `robertdebock`, image: `fedora`, tag: `latest`):
```
molecule test
# Or select a specific image:
image=ubuntu molecule test
# Or select a specific image and a specific tag:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox
```
Or you can test multiple versions of Ansible, and select images:
Tox allows multiple versions of Ansible to be tested. To run the default (namespace: `robertdebock`, image: `fedora`, tag: `latest`) tests:
```
tox
# To run CentOS (namespace: `robertdebock`, tag: `latest`)
image="centos" tox
# Or customize more:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox
```
