the Github and sources, naming

The sources are in the two projects at github
Cleaned and checked sources and patch files are at
https://github.com/miklert/zabbix
At least separate clickhouse patch will be there soon.

The very unstable development version is at
https://github.com/miklert/xe-rabbix

Now it's based on 3.4.9 code.

It's a few words about compiling zabbix - you'll need MariaDB-shared library, not just client and server libriares and development files. I've spent quite a time finding that out.

For clickhouse compile with curl libriary

Regarding the name. We had to call it somehow internally, and every monitoring system must have something common in name with ZABBIX.

So we started to call it xerabbix [herabbiks] first, which appeared from Russian soft-sounding word 'dick' and ZABBIX, but it was too rude, so after a month of development it's transformed to xe-rabbix and now pronounced as [iks-e-rabbiks], leaving  rudeness in the past.

Nowdays we interpret the name as eXtra Edition of zabbix.
