Zabbix APT Monitoring

Zabbix template to monitor Debian/Ubuntu package updates and upgrade health.

Works with Zabbix 7.0 Active Agent.

Key checks

• Available package updates (security and non-security)
• Upgradable package list
• Held packages and autoremove candidates
• Broken/problematic dpkg package states
• needrestart kernel/services/processes status
• reboot-required flag
• dpkg.log activity (logrt)
• unattended-upgrades.log activity (logrt)

Included unattended-upgrades trigger

• Unattended-upgrades installed updates in last 1h (INFO)
  • Expression: detects INFO All upgrades installed in the last hour.

Deploy Commands

Everything is executed by only a few basic deploy scripts.

cd /usr/local/src
git clone https://github.com/Futur-Tech/futur-tech-zabbix-apt.git
cd futur-tech-zabbix-apt

./deploy.sh 
# Main deploy script

./deploy-update.sh -b main
# This script will automatically pull the latest version of the branch ("main" in the example) and relaunch itself if a new version is found. Then it will run deploy.sh. Also note that any additional arguments given to this script will be passed to the deploy.sh script.

Finally import the template YAML in Zabbix Server and attach it to your host.
