# Zabbix Traffic Light







## Setup

1. Buy a USB traffic light - in our case we used [this one](https://www.cleware-shop.de/epages/63698188.sf/en_GB/?ViewObjectPath=%2FShops%2F63698188%2FProducts%2F41%2FSubProducts%2F41-1)

2. Install a host-system to trigger the traffic-light - in our case we needed an x86-bit linux/raspbian as [the cli-binary](https://github.com/niceshops/zabbix-ampel/blob/main/vendor/USBswitchCMD.zip) only supported that architecture

3. Make sure you can trigger its lights manually using the shell

4. Make sure the host-system can access the Zabbix Server web-interface (_firewalling_)

5. Create an API user

   * See: [Zabbix Docs](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/config/users_and_usergroups/user)

   * You may need to create a custom user-role: [Zabbix Docs](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/config/users_and_usergroups/permissions#user-roles)

   * Groups: Readers

   * Permissions:

      * User-type: User

      * Permissions: Read access on groups you want to 'display'

6. Copy the script to the host-system and update/modify the variables as needed:

   * API_URL, API_USER, API_PWD

   * AMPEL_CMD => path to your executable

   * CHOICES => map the zabbix trigger priority to commands

7. Install the requirements

   ```bash

   python3 -m pip install pyzabbix

   ```

8. Add a service to run the script

   ```bash

   cp ampel.service /etc/systemd/system/

   systemctl daemon-reload

   systemctl enable ampel.service

   systemctl start ampel.service

   systemctl status ampel.service

   ```
