I am using zabbix for infrastructure monitoring. I want to export alerts real time to a centralized platform like splunk, ELK? Can i pull all active alerts for last 15 mins using Zabbix API

ALso, is the api mature enough to implement auto close functionality?

Thanks in Advance !!!!

You should use the problem.get api:

This method is for retrieving unresolved problems. It is also possible, if specified, to additionally retrieve recently resolved problems.

A small python sample:

from zabbix.api import ZabbixAPI

zabbixServer    = 'http://yourserver/zabbix/'
zabbixUser      = 'someuser'
zabbixPass      = 'somepass'

zapi = ZabbixAPI(url=zabbixServer, user=zabbixUser, password=zabbixPass)

problems = zapi.problem.get()

for problem in problems:
    trigger = zapi.trigger.get (triggerids=problem['objectid'], selectHosts='extend')
    interface = zapi.hostinterface.get(hostids=trigger[0]['hosts'][0]['hostid'])
    group = zapi.hostgroup.get(hostids=trigger[0]['hosts'][0]['hostid'])

    enabled = "Enabled"
    if (trigger[0]['hosts'][0]['status'] == "1"):
        enabled = "Disabled"

    print "Group:{}; Host:{}; IP:{}; Problem:{}; {}".format(group[1]['name'],
                                                           trigger[0]['hosts'][0]['host'],
                                                           interface[0]['ip'],
                                                           trigger[0]['description'],
                                                           enabled )

  • Getting error: `Traceback (most recent call last): File "zabbix_alerting.py", line 7, in zapi = ZabbixAPI(url=zabbixServer, user=zabbixUser, password=zabbixPass) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyzabbix/api.py", line 180, in __init__ self._login(user, password) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyzabbix/api.py", line 210, in _login self.auth = self.user.login(user=user, password=password) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyzabbix/api.py", line 94, in fn args or kwargs urllib2.URLError: ` – Ajay Singh Jul 01 '20 at 15:51
  • "Connection timed out". Did you set `zabbixServer` to the correct url? – Simone Zabberoni Jul 01 '20 at 20:21
  • yeah , i doubled check URL, username and password, but same error. Do my user need some specific permissions? currently using admin – Ajay Singh Jul 02 '20 at 12:05
  • Are you running the script on your pc? On the server itself? On another linux machine? Did you check for firewall rules? Did you add a try..catch to the Zapii connect? You can also do a tcpdump to be sure... there are lots of thing to do and check. – Simone Zabberoni Jul 02 '20 at 12:07
