zabbix-mssqlserver-jobs

Template for sql server jobs monitoring.

Uses a powershell script and zabbix_sender, called on zabbix-agent.

Tested on Windows Server 2016, MS SQL Server 2017, Zabbix 5.0.

Based on https://internet-lab.ru/zabbix_template_mssql_2014_jobs, but the solution from this article based on multiple powershell calls, that why CPU load is about 4-5% with long time.

This template has been changed to use zabbix trapper, so all keys (including discovery) are sent using a single call.

Installation

1. Import zabbix template to zabbix and link it to the windows server host.
2. Copy scripts to zabbix agent folder c:\zabbix\scripts\.
3. Copy zabbix agent configuration to c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.conf.d\.
4. Also check settings in all copied file: connection string in mssqljobs.ps1 and other settings in mssqljobs.bat.
5. Include agent configuration in zabbix_agentd.win.conf Include=c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.conf.d\*.conf
6. Restart zabbix agent.
