HiHi,

To monitor Sangfor HCI using Zabbix, the primary approach is to leverage SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support provided by Sangfor HCI. Sangfor HCI offers built-in SNMP support, which allows Zabbix to collect performance metrics such as CPU usage, memory, disk space, network throughput, and other vital statistics.

You can monitor Sangfor HCI with Zabbix using:

SNMP → enable SNMP on HCI, add nodes in Zabbix with SNMP template.

IPMI → for hardware health (fans, PSU, temp).

REST API → for detailed cluster, VM, and storage metrics via HTTP agent in Zabbix.

Best: Start with SNMP, then extend with API if deeper monitoring is needed.

Try these:

SNMP Monitoring
1. Enable SNMP on Sangfor HCI
- Log in to HCI Web Console.
- Go to Settings → SNMP.
- Enable SNMP v2c or v3.
- Set community string (e.g., zabbixpublic).

2. Get MIBs / OIDs
- Sangfor provides MIB files for HCI monitoring.
- Import them into Zabbix (Templates → MIB Import).

3. Configure Zabbix
- Add Sangfor HCI cluster or nodes as SNMP hosts.
- Use the Sangfor MIB OIDs for CPU, RAM, storage, NIC.
- Apply SNMP template.

API Integration
1. Sangfor HCI has RESTful APIs (JSON output).
2. You can create a Zabbix HTTP Agent Item to query HCI API.
- Example:
   - URL: https://<HCI-IP>/api/v1/cluster/status
   - Auth: API token (from HCI console).

3. Parse JSON into Zabbix metrics.
4. More flexible than SNMP, but requires custom template.

Agent-Based
1. Install Zabbix Agent inside Sangfor SCP VM or HCI Controller VM.
2. Use it to fetch system-level OS metrics.
3. Not cluster-wide though — only VM metrics.

Zabbix Setup Steps (SNMP Example)
1. On Sangfor HCI:
- Enable SNMP, configure community/IP.

2. On Zabbix Server:
- Import Sangfor SNMP Template.
- Add HCI node IPs as SNMP hosts.
- Link template to hosts.

3. Verify:
- Test with:
   - snmpwalk -v2c -c zabbixpublic <HCI-IP>
- Confirm metrics (CPU, RAM, disk, NIC).

Nice thread thanks for highlighting these issues. There’s always a balance between security, performance, and usability with Sangfor products, and sometimes tweaks in policies or logging make all the difference.
One thing I’d suggest: enable detailed / debug logging temporarily for the affected modules to see exactly which rule or policy is blocking things. Also, check how your policy inheritance (from parent rules, zones, or groups) might be overriding more specific rules you thought were active. Finally, when possible, replicate the scenario in a sandbox or lab environment that way you can tweak rules freely without risk to production.
If anyone else has encountered a similar Sangfor policy conflict or unexpected blocking scenario, I’d love to hear how you diagnosed and resolved it.
