Hi @sofien,

 

Have you considered using 

https://docs.centreon.com/docs/monitoring/passive-monitoring/monitoring-with-snmp-traps/

or posting under

Hello,

Personnaly i don’t like passive supervision, so the SNMP Traps.

Zimbra don’t provide REST API to expose metrics or healthchecks, readyness, liveness.

Have you take a look of the Monitoring pages on Zimbra documentations ?

Monitoring Zimbra Collaboration Nagios - Zimbra :: Tech Center

Server Monitoring - Zimbra :: Tech Center

Monitoring Zimbra Servers

Alternative Way to monitor Zimbra service status from an external "monitor" server - Zimbra :: Tech Center

I think you could made “your own Zimbra supervision” with many centreon-plugins and plugin packs.

According the Zimbra third-party components :

Zimbra Collaboration Administrator Guide

You could inspire with the Grafana Dashboard and the Influxdata stack : Monitoring Zimbra Collaboration - InfluxDB, Telegraf and Grafana - Zimbra :: Tech Center

With Centreon you could monitor like there :

  • Operating System stack (CPU / RAM / Disk / I/O / Process count) :

Linux Server : Linux SNMP | Centreon Documentation or Linux NRPE3 | Centreon Documentation or Linux SSH | Centreon Documentation

FreeBSD Server : FreeBSD SNMP | Centreon Documentation

  • Proxy Stack (Nginx only) :

Nginx Server | Centreon Documentation

  • Apps stack (Jetty, Java, JVM, HTTP) :

JVM JMX | Centreon Documentation

HTTP Server | Centreon Documentation

  • Directory stack (OpenLDAP) :

OpenLDAP | Centreon Documentation

LDAP Server | Centreon Documentation

  • Database stack (MariaDB) :

MySQL/MariaDB | Centreon Documentation

  • Search Engine stack (Lucene/SolR) :

Solr | Centreon Documentation (Maybe i’m wrong SolR is not present, simply the search engine Lucene)

  • Protection stack (Certificate, ClamAV only)

X509 Certificate | Centreon Documentation

Antivirus ClamAV | Centreon Documentation

  • Mail infrastructure service (POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, NTP)

POP Server | Centreon Documentation

IMAP Server | Centreon Documentation

SMTP Server | Centreon Documentation

NTP Server | Centreon Documentation

But i think you don’t have the possibility to see the mailqueue LMTP, maybe it’s usefull to have the output of certain zm CLI.

Regards,

Greg
