Monitoring network connection states with Zabbix (+ iptables + iptstate)
This is a little howto about displaying some small n’ nice graphs regarding to network connections of your machine. In the way of “Nothing is silly if it involves getting graphs”, the goal of this article is to get a realtime graph showing numbers of current server connections according to protocols,

1. iptables, iptstate, zabbix server/agent
2. iptables Zabbix template
3. monitoring scripts
We need to get the template from point 2. and import it to Zabbix sever. Then we will rename it’s application from “Network” to e.g. Network_iptables, due to namespace conflict with default Linux template. Now when we have a possibility to display TCP states and type of connections, let’s fill it with data.
/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf:
UserParameter=iptstate.tcp,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-tcp
UserParameter=iptstate.tcp.syn,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-syn
UserParameter=iptstate.tcp.timewait,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-time-wait
UserParameter=iptstate.tcp.established,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-established
UserParameter=iptstate.tcp.close,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-close
UserParameter=iptstate.udp,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-udp
UserParameter=iptstate.icmp,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-icmp
Bold font are the names of keys in our newly imported iptables/iptstate zabbix template. Then you need to authorize zabbix user to run iptstate command (potentially without password) and you do it in /etc/sudoers file. Since zabbix agent doesn’t allow to callsudo command directly from it’s config ( you will end up with error log “you must have a tty to run sudo” ), it is also required to turn off “Defaults requiretty” by commenting it out. The scripts which are called in the example above are located in point 3. #!/bin/bash
est=`sudo iptstate -s | grep ESTABLISHED | wc -l`
echo $est
Output of this simple script is a number of connections which are in ESTABLISHED TCP state. These checks are periodical, so after restarting zabbix-agentd, you’ll get graphs like from beggining of this article. Good part is that you don’t need to be stuck with defaults, you can define some more like this: iptstate -s -t | head -2 |tail -1 | sed 's/^.*OTHER: //'
上一張我的圖吧,還是熱呼呼的,呵呵! 
第一步,導入zabbix的關于tcp的模版和腳本檔案.見附件!
第二步編輯/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf:
UserParameter=iptstate.tcp,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-tcp
UserParameter=iptstate.tcp.syn,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-syn
UserParameter=iptstate.tcp.timewait,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-time-wait
UserParameter=iptstate.tcp.established,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-established
UserParameter=iptstate.tcp.close,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-close
UserParameter=iptstate.udp,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-udp
UserParameter=iptstate.icmp,/etc/zabbix/scripts/net-icmp
建立腳本檔案到/etc/zabbix/scripts這個目錄裡。
請到這兒下載下傳

第三步:替換掉/etc/sudoers裡的選項
sed -i -e 's/^Defaults.*requiretty/# &/' /etc/sudoers
以下指令在使用後,有效;但是不知道為什麼在使用一段時間後,仍然會報錯。
做如下修改!<如果執行以上指令後,仍會報錯,你就做如下修改吧>
sed -i 's/# Defaults\ requiretty/Defaults\ !requiretty/' /etc/sudoers
第三步不做的後果是:
a、zabbix-agentd.log會在你檢視關于tcp的圖形時,狂報以下資訊:
sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo
第四步重新開機zabbix-agent
備注1: 在測試中有發現部分機器使用iptstate 沒有任何的輸出。此時,我們需要加載一個子產品。
# modprobe ip_conntrack
關于tcp的腳本,建議先在用戶端執行,确認有數字輸出,如果本地都沒有輸出,在zabbix server端也不會有輸出。
備注2:在用戶端使用zabbix使用者執行net-tcp時,出現iptstate 找不到指令。請使用完全路徑,我也是在某台vps發現這個問題,我的附件裡沒有修改。太懶了,原作者的也沒有修改。關于iptstate,請使用絕對路徑
[root@s10315190 scripts]# cat net-icmp
#!/bin/bash
est=`sudo /usr/sbin/iptstate -s | grep icmp | wc -l`
echo $est
