I'm having a problem with exported resources. I've configured the following class on a server

class { '::zabbix::agent':
    agent_use_ip       => false,
   zabbix_version     => '2.4',
   server             => 'host.test.com',
   manage_resources   => true,
   manage_repo        => true,
   manage_firewall    => true,
   zbx_group          => 'Linux servers',
   zbx_templates      => ['C_Linux_base'],
   logfilesize        => '10',
   monitored_by_proxy => '',
}

But when running puppet on the zabbix server I get the following error:

Wrapped exception:
Server answer API error:
 {
  "data": "Incorrect arguments passed to function.",
  "code": -32602,
  "message": "Invalid params."
}
 on request:

      "available": 1,
      "interfaces": [

          "main": 1,
          "type": 1,
          "useip": 0,
          "port": "10050",
          "ip": null
        }
      ],
      "status": 0,
      "proxy_hostid": null,
      "host": "host.test.com",
      "templates": [

      ],
      "groups": [
        {
          "groupid": 6
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "host.create",
  "auth": "341c3fbe85ke0ed60a1c15a560ab27ec",
  "id": 10965
}

Looking at the Zabbix API docs it does look like the template array should be in the format "templateid": "20045", is this the problem?

Any help would be much appreciated.

"database_port" is not properly set when web node is split from master node.

Puppet code:

# Zabbix Web Node

node 'MASTER' {
  file { '/etc/yum.conf':
    source => 'puppet:///modules/yum/yum.conf',
    owner  => root,
    group  => root,
  }
  class { 'apache':
      mpm_module => 'prefork',
  }
  class { 'apache::mod::php': }
  class { 'zabbix::web':
    zabbix_url      => '',
    zabbix_server   => 'MASTER',
    database_host   => 'MASTER',
    zabbix_api_user => 'whatever',
    zabbix_api_pass => 'crazysecurepassword',
    database_type   => 'mysql',
  }
}

Output:

Documentation reports that "manage_resources" should be available to the following

zabbix::server, zabbix::proxy & zabbix::agent

Using manage_resources on zabbix::server returns an error

I suppose there is new validation in apt module which supposes that key must be 8 or 16 syblols long.

If i remember correctly it is possible to add keys by last key in chain.

Hi Werner,

The module fails then future parser is enabled in puppet.conf

Errors:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Evaluation Error: Left match operand must result in a String value. Got an Object. at /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/zabbix/manifests/agent.pp:207:7

and

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Evaluation Error: Left match operand must result in a String value. Got an Object. at /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/zabbix/manifests/proxy.pp:305:7

The root cause is this check
if ($listenip =~ /^(eth|bond).*/) {
in proxy.pp and agent.pp

more info https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/i#browse/PUP-1782

I don't use listenip so i overcome it with
if ($listenip != undef ) {

Hi,
I have now problem with zabbix-proxy and use of hiera.
Indeed, i receive this error Error: Failed to apply catalog: Validation of Exec[ --port='' --owner='' --template=template0 'zabbix-proxy'] failed: ' --port='' --owner='' --template=template0 'zabbix-proxy'' is not qualified and no path was specified.

I use this configuration :

zabbix::proxy::zabbix_server_host: 'xxx.com'
zabbix::proxy::database_type: 'mysql'
zabbix::proxy::zabbix_server_port: '10051'

I have also tried to add this configuration :

zabbix::database::database_type: 'mysql'
zabbix::database::zabbiix_type: 'proxy'
zabbix::database::database_name: 'zabbix-proxy'
zabbix::database::database_user: 'zabbix-proxy'

Have you an idea to what I doing wrong ?

Thank you and have a nice day ;)

I'm trying out your module in combination with foreman and got a little problem which I can't seem to solve.
I followed the readme but had problems. Had to include postgresql::server and apache together with zabbix::server and set zabbix_url. In the end I got things working but if I now add a class to this kind of server I get the error that apache::mod::php requires apache::mod::prefork. Adding that leads to a duplicate definition :-(
Is there a way to debug this somewhat more then only looking at the messages from puppet?
As far as I can see everything should work but puppetwise it doesn't. The zabbix server does work.

Joop

Hi Werner,

You have added to documentation:
class { 'postgresql': }

class { 'mysql': }

I get the errors:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: ERRO R: This class has been deprecated and the functionality moved
into mysql::server. If you run mysql::server without correctly calling
mysql:: server with the new override_options hash syntax you will revert
your MySQL to the stock settings. Do not proceed without removing this
class and using mysql::server correctly.

https://github.com/karolisc/puppet-zabbix/commit/50099a3562a6f12c057decfeae1a210d8fd327bd

btw. could you add some comment on db too?

Karolis

As per documentation it says "manage_firewall: Wheter you want to manage the firewall. If true (Which is default), iptables will be configured to allow communications to zabbix ports."

However 'manage_firewall' is set to 'false' in params.pp file. I had to manually set it to 'true' to get it working. Either documentation should be updated or params.pp should be modified so that manage_firewall is default to 'true.
Thanks

Good day.

After updating from 1.0.0 version to 1.3.0 I'm no longer able to install zabbix agent version 2.2.
I've researched and found following commit that changed installation behaviour.

e542992

I'm using Foreman with this module. Can you please assist how to force v2.2?

Thanks,
Mikhail.

Hi,

With the new 1.5.0 version I've this error message :

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter group_create on Zabbix_host[zabbix0.lan.xxxx] at /etc/puppet/modules/zabbix/manifests/resources/agent.pp:27 on node zabbix0.lan.xxxx
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

To temporarily avoid this I've to comment /etc/puppet/modules/zabbix/manifests/resources/agent.pp:32.

I've never wrote any puppet type but as far as I can see ./lib/puppet/provider/zabbix_host/ruby.rb and ./lib/puppet/type/zabbix_host.rb seems to be ok with this new feature ...

The database population script for the zabbix-proxy-mysql package is run with the command below:

command => "cd ${schema_path} && mysql -h '${database_host}' -u '${database_user}' -p'${database_password}' -D '${database_name}' < schema.sql && touch /etc/zabbix/.schema.done",

Because the schema.sql is gzipped into schema.sql.gz on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the command fails.
It should be altered with a small if-loop that checks if the file is gzipped:

command => "cd ${schema_path} && if [ -f schema.sql.gz ]; then gunzip schema.sql.gz ; fi && mysql -h '${database_host}' -u '${database_user}' -p'${database_password}' -D '${database_name}' < schema.sql && touch /etc/zabbix/.schema.done",

Hi,

I've got a dedicated node for zabbix-server, postgres and zabbix-web:

class profiles::zabbixweb {
  class {'::zabbix::web':
    manage_vhost          => false,
    zabbix_timezone       => 'Europe/Berlin',
    manage_resources      => true,
    database_host         => '192.168.0.12',
    database_name         => 'zabbix',
    database_user         => 'zabbix',
    database_password     => 'password',
    zabbix_server         => '192.168.0.9',
    zabbix_api_user       => 'Admin',
    zabbix_api_pass       => 'password',
    zabbix_package_state  => 'latest',
    zabbix_version        => '2.4',
  }
}

class profiles::postgresqlserver {
  class { 'postgresql::globals':
    encoding            => 'UTF-8',
    locale              => 'en_US.UTF-8',
    manage_package_repo => true,
    version             => '9.4',
  }-> 
  class { '::postgresql::server':
    listen_addresses  => $::ipaddress_eth1,
    ipv4acls          => ['host zabbix zabbix 192.168.0.9/32 md5'],
  }
  postgresql::server::db { 'zabbix':
    user     => 'zabbix',
    password => postgresql_password('zabbix', 'password'),
  }
}

class profiles::zabbixserver {
  class {'::postgresql::globals':
    encoding            => 'UTF-8',
    locale              => 'en_US.UTF-8',
    manage_package_repo => true,
    version             => '9.4',
  }->
  class {'::postgresql::client': }
  class {'::zabbix::server':
    zabbix_version    => '2.2',
    database_host     => '192.168.0.12',
    database_name     => 'zabbix',
    database_user     => 'zabbix',
    database_password => 'password',
  }
}

in addition, the agent is running on every node:

  class { '::zabbix::agent':
    server                => 'myserver',
    zabbix_package_state  => 'latest',
    zabbix_version        => '2.4',
    manage_resources      => true,
  }

puppetdb is running fine, storeconfigs is also working. Puppet runs fine on every node except for the zabbix web node (I get the error for every node that runs the agent):

Error: /Stage[main]/Zabbix::Resources::Web/Zabbix_host[my-database]: Could not evaluate: uninitialized constant Puppet::Provider::Zabbix::ZabbixApi

Every machine is running Debian 8 with Puppet 3.8.1. Do you have any ideas?

The Zabbix Server class, as is currently defined in the wdijkerman-zabbix module, could actually be split into the 3 components:

• Zabbix Server
• Zabbix WebUI
• Zabbix DB

In order to scale zabbix effectively, it's best practice to run each of these components on separate nodes.

(for example, http://blog.zabbix.com/scalable-zabbix-lessons-on-hitting-9400-nvps/2615/)

As it stands, it does not seem possible to use the wdijkerman-zabbix module to install the zabbix server on one node, the WebUI on a second, and the Database on a third.

puppetlabs/postgresql v4.3.0
wdijkerman/zabbix v1.4.0

Creation of a new postgresql instance fail with following message :

Notice: /Stage[main]/Zabbix::Database/Postgresql::Server::Db[zabbix_server]/Postgresql::Server::Database[zabbix_server]/Exec[/usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/createdb --port='5432' --owner='' --template=template0  'zabbix_server']/returns:                                               ^

This is due to --owner=''.

To avoid this I edit manifests/database.pp:130 to change

        postgresql::server::db { $database_name:
          user     => $database_user,
          password => postgresql_password($database_user, $database_password),
          require  => Class['postgresql::server'],
        }

to

        postgresql::server::db { $database_name:
          user     => $database_user,
          owner    => $database_user,
          password => postgresql_password($database_user, $database_password),
          require  => Class['postgresql::server'],
        }

And thanks for your job ;)

Hi Werner,

I started moving userparameters into hiera. Maybe would be nice to control extensions of script files after they being landing to target server:
file { "${script_dir}/${name}"

Now all scripts end up without any extensions. But it might be tricky to realize though

check comments we have to use this param in MB not in B
for example, just pust 32 if you want 32M in CacheSize value

In Ubuntu 14.04 we get this error every Puppet run:

Hi Werner,

After enabling manage_resources zabbixapi gem fails to install.

Error 1:

Hi,

I want to increase memory_limit for zabbix vhost. I suppose that below default should be overwritten in zabbix::web where apache::vhost type is defined

custom_fragment => "
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 16M
php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1

Set correct timezone

php_value date.timezone ${zabbix_timezone}",

But I seems stuck, since I need to do it via hiera.

I tried this but no luck

zabbix::web:
zabbix_vhost:
php_values:
memory_limit: 256

How it can be changed?

Thanks
Sergey

Hostname and HostnameItem are both set by default, this leads into this warning:

Shutting down Zabbix agent: [ OK ]
Starting Zabbix agent: zabbix_agentd [3912]: Warning: both Hostname and HostnameItem defined, using [xxx]

HostnameItem should not set by default, and Hostname should be disabled when HostnameItem is set

If zabbix::repo is used outside of zabbix::server, zabbix::params is not inherited, in such case default param values are not well resolved :

class zabbix::repo(
  $manage_repo    = $zabbix::params::manage_repo,
  $zabbix_version = $zabbix::params::zabbix_version,
) {

$manage_repo & $zabbix_version are undefined.

This need occurs when apt configuration is done in a different stage than other job. My case (stage first is done before main)

  class {'::zabbix::repo':
    stage           =>  'first',
    manage_repo     =>  true,
    zabbix_version  =>  '2.4',
  }
  ...
  class {'::zabbix':
    zabbix_url      => 'zabbix.domain.tld',
    manage_firewall => true,
    manage_repo     => false,
    database_type   => 'postgresql',
  }

when i don't specify manage_repo & zabbix_version, ::zabbix::repo does nothing.

So, is it possible that zabbix::repo inherits zabbix::params to enable default values ?

This template contains the following line:

$ZBX_SERVER = '<%= @dbhost %>';

This causes the web interface to look to the database server for the zabbix-server which is not always the case.

This can be fixed by changing the line to:

$ZBX_SERVER = '<%= @fqdn %>';

Sorry i cannot make a pull request for this one.

Love the module, keep up the good work mate.

Hi again,
Is it possible to change the hostname in the zabbix-proxy configuration file?
I don't found how to do that.
Something like that zabbix::proxy::hostname: 'My_Custom_Name'

Regards.

When I declare the proxy hostname by class, for example:

class { 'zabbix::proxy':
zabbix_package_state => 'latest',
hostname => 'proxy.domain.com',
database_host => 'localhost',
database_type => 'mysql',
manage_database => false,
database_name => 'zabbix_proxy',
database_user => 'zabbix',
database_password => 'zabbix',
zabbix_server_host => 'server.domain.com',
database_socket => '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock',
database_port => '3306',
offlinebuffer => '8',
logfile => '/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.log',
logfilesize => '0',
zabbix_server_port => '10051',
pidfile => '/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.pid',
}

the hostname is not set in zabbix_proxy.conf file, but the server FQDN.

That would work correct?

I'm using:
Centos 6.6
Zabbix Agent 2.4
Zabbix Proxy 2.4
Puppet 3.7.4

Thank you

Hi Werner,

fping and fping6 in params.pp points to /usr/sbin/fping on Ubuntu it is:
locate fping
/usr/bin/fping
/usr/bin/fping6

Karolis

Found a typo, probably relating to atleast agent.pp listenip.
The following code block has its comparison backwards:

Find if listenip is set. If not, we can set to specific ip or

to network name. If more than 1 interfaces are available, we

can find the ipaddress of this specific interface if listenip

is set to for example "eth1" or "bond0.73".

if $listenip == undefined {
if ($listenip =~ /^(eth|bond|lxc).*/) {
$int_name = "ipaddress_${listenip}"
$listen_ip = inline_template('<%= scope.lookupvar(int_name) %>')
} elsif is_ip_address($listenip) {
$listen_ip = $listenip
} else {
$listen_ip = $::ipaddress
}
} else {
$listen_ip = $::ipaddress
}

It should be:

Find if listenip is set. If not, we can set to specific ip or

to network name. If more than 1 interfaces are available, we

can find the ipaddress of this specific interface if listenip

is set to for example "eth1" or "bond0.73".

if $listenip != undefined {
if ($listenip =~ /^(eth|bond|lxc).*/) {
$int_name = "ipaddress_${listenip}"
$listen_ip = inline_template('<%= scope.lookupvar(int_name) %>')
} elsif is_ip_address($listenip) {
$listen_ip = $listenip
} else {
$listen_ip = $::ipaddress
}
} else {
$listen_ip = $::ipaddress
}

If I enable manage_resources in zabbix::server on a machine running ruby 1.8.7, I get the following error:

err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: no such file to load -- zabbixapi

(I'm using debian, and puppet seems to have a hardcoded dependency on ruby 1.8, despite ruby 1.9.3 also being installed on the system.)

Do you intend this module to work with ruby 1.8.7, or only newer versions?

Debian 7
puppetlabs/postgresql v4.3.0
wdijkerman/zabbix v1.4.0

Creation of a new web instance fail with following message :

This fail because /etc/zabbix does not contain any "web" directory.

On params.pp:

$zabbix_version = '2.4'

On my manifest

class { '::zabbix::agent':
  zabbix_version => '2.2',
}

This results in zabbix-agent 2.4 installed

This can be easily fixed passing zabbix_version to class repo in agent.pp:

if $manage_repo {
  #include zabbix::repo
  class { 'zabbix::repo':
    zabbix_version => $zabbix_version,
  }
  Package['zabbix-agent'] {require => Class['zabbix::repo']}
}

Exactly same issue on proxy.pp and very likely server.pp.

Good day.

Hi,

I use zabbix::userparams in node definition like that:
node test {
include zabbix::agent
zabbix::userparams { 'mysql.conf':
content => 'UserParameter=mysql.ping,mysqladmin -uroot ping | grep -c alive',
}

and when run puppet aggent -t got error:
Error: Could not apply complete catalog: Found 1 dependency cycle:
(File[/mysql.conf.conf] => Service[zabbix-agent] => File[/mysql.conf.conf])
Try the '--graph' option and opening the resulting '.dot' file in OmniGraffle or GraphViz

I try use zabbix:userparams without inslude zabbix::agent, but got error:

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Could not find dependency Service[zabbix-agent] for File[/mysql.conf.conf] at /etc/puppet/modules/zabbix/manifests/userparameters.pp:60

How use this to work correctly ?

Using wdijkerman-zabbix-1.0.0, when manage_repo in zabbix::server is false, zabbix::repo is still required (and installs the repos).
This is because of the following: -

Installing the packages

package { "zabbix-server-${db}":
ensure => $zabbix_package_state,
require => Class['zabbix::repo'],
}

Hi Werner,

Please update apache_ssl_cipher list and clarify which list is used (Modern compatibility?) by updating comment.

Issue:

Puppet complains that neither bundler or zabbixapi are installed in logs.

The Zabbix module reports this should resolve after a maximum of 3 runs. Issue did not resolve itself after more than 3 runs.

https://forge.puppetlabs.com/wdijkerman/zabbix/readme#when-using-exported-resources

Attempted Resolution:

Installed bundler and zabbixapi gems on the Zabbix Master server.

gem install bundler 
gem install zabbixapi

Result:

After running puppet agent --test on Zabbix Master the following errors are reported.

Hi,
i have an issue when I try to put domain name in zabbix::agent for the parameter server and or serveractive.

Indeed, in manifests/agent.pp we have this code for the firewall :

# Manage firewall
if $manage_firewall {
  firewall { '150 zabbix-agent':
    dport  => $listenport,
    proto  => 'tcp',
    action => 'accept',
    source => "${server}/24",
    state  => ['NEW','RELATED', 'ESTABLISHED'],
 }

Here my code :

# Zabbix
 class { 'zabbix::agent':
         zabbix_version => '2.2.6',
         server => 'example.com',
         serveractive => 'example.com',
         hostname => 'test_puppet',
         manage_firewall => true,
 }
 zabbix::userparameters { 'raid_default':
         source => 'puppet:///modules/zabbix/raid0_test.conf.erb',
 }

The /24 doesn't work on debian 7 (wheezy).
I have this error with puppet agent -v --test --debug command.

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter source failed on Firewall[150 zabbix-agent]: host_to_ip failed for example.fr/24, exception no address for example.com//24 at /etc/puppet/modules/zabbix/manifests/agent.pp:292
Wrapped exception:
host_to_ip failed for example.com/24, exception no address for parc.tec6.fr/24

Can you make a change for resolv this unfotunetly problem please ?

Thanks for you super project !

It would be great to support SSL sites when managing the Apache vhost. Also, the new provider which connects to the zabbix api has the url protocol hard coded:
:url => "http://#{zabbix_url}/api_jsonrpc.php",

Today I've tried to update from 0.5.1 to 1.3.0 and got an error:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: validate_re(): "FBABD5FB20255ECAB22EE194D13D58E479EA5ED4" does not match ["\\A(0x)?[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\\Z", "\\A(0x)?[0-9a-fA-F]{16}\\Z"] at /etc/puppet/environments/zabbix_update/modules/apt/manifests/key.pp:60 on node vagrant-ubuntu-precise-64
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Found, that you've updated keys in 32adbb8, but my apt module was of version 1.6.0.
Could you, please, add dependency on apt module, so it would be easier to update later?
Thank you!

Hello, and thank you for this Puppet module, it's quite excellent. I have run into an issue with proxy configuration, however. Proxies support use of sqLite for the dbtype in Zabbix, and it looks like there is mention of this in your docs also:

https://github.com/dj-wasabi/puppet-zabbix/blob/master/manifests/proxy.pp#L11

[dbtype]

Type of database. Can use the following 3 databases:

- postgresql

- mysql

- sqlite

However, setting the dbtype to `sqlite' seems to fail with the following error:

Error: Unrecognized database type for proxy: sqlite at /etc/puppet/modules/zabbix/manifests/proxy.pp:295

Farther down in the proxy manifest, it looks like there is no case switch to set `sqlite' as an option for the dbtype:

https://github.com/dj-wasabi/puppet-zabbix/blob/master/manifests/proxy.pp#L286

Use the correct db.

case $dbtype {
'postgresql': {
$db = 'pgsql'
}
'mysql': {
$db = 'mysql'
}
default: {
fail("Unrecognized database type for proxy: ${dbtype}")
}
}

Is this an option that can be fully implemented at some point? Thank you.

I've had trouble attempting to use this module with postgresql on another machine.

class { 'zabbix::server':
  zabbix_url => 'zabbix.example.com',
  dbhost     => '10.0.0.2',
}

(Where the machine at 10.0.0.2 is already set up running postgresql).

I get the following types of puppet errors:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid relationship: Postgresql_psql[Check for existence of db 'zabbix-server'] { require => Class[Postgresql::Server::Service] }, because Class[Postgresql::Server::Service] doesn't seem to be in the catalog

And

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid relationship: Postgresql_psql[CREATE ROLE "zabbix-server" ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '**redacted**' LOGIN NOCREATEROLE NOCREATEDB NOSUPERUSER  CONNECTION LIMIT -1] { require => Class[Postgresql::Server] }, because Class[Postgresql::Server] doesn't seem to be in the catalog

This is because the module has require statements which reference the postgreqsl classes, assuming they're going to be on the same machine. If I add include postgresql::server to my manifest, then the errors go away. (But then I end up postgresql configured on the localhost, not remotely)

The path for psql in zabbix::database::postgresql is: -
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

I have it installed in /opt/postgres/9.3/bin.
Can we have a parameter to set the path for non-standard.

I can create a symlink, but it seems a shame that it's necessary.

Are you accepting merge requests or have plans to support centos 7?

I'm having an interesting error.

According to the docs I don't need to add anything more than:

class { 'zabbix::agent':
server => 'ipaddress',
}

which I did.

Here is the code snippet:

  'ubuntu' : {
    apt::source { 'zabbix':
      location   => "http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/${zabbix_version}/ubuntu/",
      release    => $ubuntu,
      repos      => 'main',
      key        => 'FBABD5FB20255ECAB22EE194D13D58E479EA5ED4',
      key_source => 'http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix-official-repo.key',
    }

• my version is 1.5.0
• I'm using ubuntu
• I'm using puppetlabs/apt 2.0.1 which I think is the root of the problem.

Are you using an "old" apt::source definition?

David Thornton

It would be nice to give users possibility to select where they would like scripts to be installed.
Could you, please, parametrise script folder like ${include_dir} for user parameters?
Thank you.

When deploying "zabbix::web" on a stand alone server or on a monolithic server I get the following error:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Failed to parse template apache/vhost/_directories.erb:

All other modules (including "zabbix::database" and "zabbix::server) deploy without issues.

Setup is as follows (all instances running in google cloud):

Hello,

I've installed your puppet module in my environment. I'm using exported_resources and my nodes are automatically added to zabbix thanks to your module.
I'm following the instructions in https://github.com/dj-wasabi/puppet-zabbix#usage-zabbix-userparameters and configured some userparemeters in hiera:

zabbix::userparameter::data:
    DiskIO_userparameters:
    source: 'puppet:///modules/zabbix/diskio.conf'
    template: 'DiskIO'

But the userparameter is not copied to the client.

I've hardcoded manage_reosurces=true in the module.

If I call it as zabbix:userparameters:

zabbix::userparameters { 'diskIO' :
    source   => 'puppet:///modules/zabbix/diskio.conf',
    template => 'DiskIO',
}

It works as expected.

So, at this point I'm not sure if I faced a bug in the zabbix/hiera usage or in the doc or something wrong in my code.

Am I doing something wrong? Do you have any working example?

Many thanks for your great work in this module.

Cheers,
A
