Two-way integration with Zabbix which will acknowledge events in Zabbix when alerts are ack'ed or closed in the Alerta console.
For help, join
Clone the GitHub repo and run:
$ python setup.py install
Or, to install remotely from GitHub run:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/alerta/alerta-contrib.git#subdirectory=plugins/zabbix
Note: If Alerta is installed in a python virtual environment then plugins need to be installed into the same environment for Alerta to dynamically discover them.
Add zabbix to the list of enabled PLUGINS in alertad.conf
server configuration file and set plugin-specific variables either in
the server configuration file or as environment variables.
PLUGINS = ['zabbix']The below settings are configured with reasonable defaults:
ZABBIX_API_URL = 'http://localhost:10080'
ZABBIX_USER = 'Admin'
ZABBIX_PASSWORD = 'zabbix'If Alerta is aggregating alerts from multiple Zabbix servers then leave
the ZABBIX_API_URL configuration setting undefined and instead, pass
the base URL to the Zabbix Web frontend as an attribute to the alert,
like so:
attributes.zabbixUrl=http://x.x.x.xRestart Alerta API and confirm that the plugin has been loaded and enabled.
Set DEBUG=True in the alertad.conf configuration file and look for log
entries similar to below:
