Zabbix is a bit confusing for beginners so here a quick tutorial how to simply execute a script, in my case it was used for a failover actions (mysql slave to master promotion and DNS ip change).
First of all you have to understand the way of how things work in Zabbix:
(more here: http://www.zbxtutorials.org/2012/10/z20g001-terminology.html )
Let's start by setting up a web scenario:
Go Configuration -> Hosts, pick a host that will do the monitoring (I often use the zabbix server itself), click web(0) and right upper corner "create scenario" (read wiki how to, but its easy)
Next step we find out what the event is called since we need this for our trigger expression: Go to Monitoring -> Latest Data -> Show Filter (small the center of screen), pick your host and filter, under other you'll find web.test.fail[site test](name depends on your setup) and its last value 0, this will jump to 1 if the site is not reachable.
edit: IN ZABBIX 3.0 you gotta check "Show Details" to see key names
Next step we will create a trigger: Configuration -> Hosts -> pick Host -> Triggers -> create new trigger upper right corner: expression should look like this "{YOURHOSTNAME:web.test.fail[site test].last()}>0"
Next step create an Action: Configuration -> Actions -> Create Action:
You only have to set name, under conditions remove the given ones and under New condition pick "trigger" "like" and your trigger name which should be auto-suggested. Under Operations click new, Operation Type : Remote Command, Target add new Current Host, Execute on...your choice, Type Custom script and enter your commands.
That is it.
I recommend not sending sensitive information in the commands, if you have such then just put the commands in a script at the agent server and execute them with "/bin/bash /path/script.sh"
XOR or ⊕ - a type of logical disjunction on two operands that results in a value of true if the operands, or disjuncts, have opposite truth values. A simple way to state this is "one or the other but not both."

Varnish 4.1 + Hitch SSL/TLS Termination via PROXY protocol default.vcl for Drupal 7
Hitch (https://hitch-tls.org/) config. The [] on ipv4 are weird but necessary! The pem file needs to be cat'd in following order: privkey cert intermediates dhparameter

How to set permissions on thousands of files in a AWS S3 bucket using s3cmd
We use xargs to run parallel processes, flag P specifies number of processes.
First we get all paths on S3+Filenames
First we get all paths on S3+Filenames
s3cmd --recursive ls s3://mys3bucket/ | awk -F' ' '{print $4;}' | sort | uniq > paths.txt
Then we set permissions, in this case we set them to public, adjust for what you need!
cat paths.txt | xargs -P20 -I% s3cmd setacl --acl-public "%"

How To compile/create OpenVPN with installer for Windows on Linux (Debian Jessie)
# apt-get install build-essential mingw-w64 tofrodos dh-autoreconf nsis
# cd /usr/bin
# ln -s fromdos dos2unix
# ln -s todos unix2dos
To customize the build options, refer to build.vars in openvpn-build/generic, it contains the defaults for building, most settings can be customized by setting environment variable before executing the build script.
The following will produce the OpenVPN Setup for 32 and 64 bit Windows.
$ git clone https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-build.git
$ cd openvpn-build/windows-nsis
# cd /usr/bin
# ln -s fromdos dos2unix
# ln -s todos unix2dos
To customize the build options, refer to build.vars in openvpn-build/generic, it contains the defaults for building, most settings can be customized by setting environment variable before executing the build script.

HowTo compile OpenVPN + obfuscation with xorpatch on Debian
- # apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev liblzo2-dev libpam0g-dev easy-rsa
- # wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.3.7.tar.xz
- # wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clayface/openvpn_xorpatch/master/openvpn_xor.patch
- # tar xvf openvpn-2.3.7.tar.xz
- # cd openvpn-2.3.7.tar.xz
- # patch -p1 < ../openvpn_xor.patch
- # ./configure
- # ./make
- # ./make install
You need to put one of the following options in server.conf and client config!
"scramble reverse" - This simply reverses all the data in the packet. This is enough to get past the regular expression detection in both China and Iran.
"scramble xorptrpos" - This performs a xor operation, utilizing the current position in the packet payload.
"scramble obfuscate password" - This method is more secure. It utilizes the 3 types of scrambling mentioned above. "password" is the string which you want to use.
How To setup OpenVPN from scratch with PAM authentication on Debian Jessie

Configuring Ejabberd with PAM Authentication for specific group
Quick Tutorial because I had to figure this out on my own and it took a while to get everything working in the correct way.
OS Debian Jessie, Ejabberd 14.07
1. service ejabberd stop
2. edit /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml
3. nano /etc/login.group.allowed (you can name that file w/e you want)
5. service ejabberd start
6. Don't forget that the user ejabberd needs to have access to the shadow file, so you might have to create a shadow group and chroot /etc/shadow to allow access
OS Debian Jessie, Ejabberd 14.07
1. service ejabberd stop
2. edit /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml
##!!!DO NOT FORGET TO DISABLE auth_method: internal further up the config!!!
## Authentication using PAM
##
auth_method: pam
pam_service: "ejabberd"
3. nano /etc/login.group.allowed (you can name that file w/e you want)
users (in my case the group is called users)4. nano /etc/pam.d/ejabberd
#%PAM-1.0
auth include common-password
account required pam_listfile.so item=group sense=allow file=/etc/login.group.allowed onerr=fail
account include common-password
5. service ejabberd start
6. Don't forget that the user ejabberd needs to have access to the shadow file, so you might have to create a shadow group and chroot /etc/shadow to allow access

Proxmox Host and Nodes with Private IP - NAT and Port Forwarding
Here a quick solution for playing around when you only have 1 public IP and private IPs for your VMs/Nodes. Here we give 10.10.10.2 to your VM and forward port 10022 to port 22 (SSH) on the VM
Host Config:
Node/VM Config:
Host Config:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 94.xxxxxxxxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 94.xxxxxxxxx
auto vmbr0post-up iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10022 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.10.10.2:22
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 10.10.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
post-up iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s '10.10.10.0/24' -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
post-down iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s '10.10.10.0/24' -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
Node/VM Config:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.10.2
gateway 10.10.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
