https://blog.zabbix.com/zabbix-agent-active-vs-passive/
Tested on zabbix 5.4.3 and Python3
Merged from http://admin.shamot.cz/?p=424 , kstka/zabbix-postfix-template & Kreibich-xyz/zabbix-postfix-integration
Before using the installer, make sure you have your zabbix-agent installed, set up and checked the connection to the zabbix-server!
# Clone Repo
git clone https://github.com/rafael747/zabbix-postfix
cd zabbix-postfix
# Make sure, you run the script as root!
chmod +x ./install_postfix_template_zabbix_passive.sh
./install_postfix_template_zabbix_passive.sh
# Now follow the instructions in the script.
# If the script runs into a problem, fall back to the corrosponding step in Manual Installation and report the error and some system-information to [email protected].
Now download the template_postfix_passive.xml, import it into zabbix and attach it to your host. To see if everything works fine, wait a few minutes, go to the latest data of your host and search for 'postfix'. The line 'Postfix data update request' should show the error if there is one.
