This is a small simple cookbook for installing chef handler which reports chef-client run status into zabbix using zabbix_sender.

Initially it was a part of recipes collection from typo3 project chef-zabbix-custom-checks but I decided to separate it to another project in order to minimize cookbook dependencies.

• You will know whether chef-client working on a node or not
• You will know whether chef-client last run was success and complete or not
• You will know whether chef-client run elapsed time was too long

• Ubuntu
• Debian

• Chef 12.0 or later. Probably should work with chef 11 also.

• chef_handler

• default['zabbix-handler']['bin_dir'] - directory where zabbix_sender are stored
• default['zabbix-handler']['etc_dir'] - directory where zabbix_agent.conf are stored
• default['zabbix-handler']['hostname'] - hostname that will be reported to zabbix
