Various small Zabbix related scripts and utilities

==================================================



This is a collection of various scripts I wrote for my personal use

for Zabbix.



zabbix_graph.py

---------------

This script reads one or more graphs from the Zabbix frontend and

sends them as attachments via mail to one (or more) configured mail addresses.



The script is inspired by http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15316

but simpler as it just takes a list of graphids to work on instead

of using a special media report in Zabbix to determine the graphids

from the database.



And so, this script only needs a Zabbix frontend user, no direct database

access is necessary.

Also, this script does not need to write any temporary files.

It is written in Python as I know the language best and everything necessary

is included in the standard libraries, at least since Python 2.6, maybe even earlier.



The graphs are queried from the Zabbix frontend and then sent as attachments

via mail to the configured address.



This scripts is best to be used as a cronjob, maybe once a day or week, as you

prefer. Though there is basically no error handling, errors are printed to stderr

and so they are sent via mail to the administrator by the cron daemon,

assuming it is configured properly.



zabbix_smstrade.py

------------------

A script to send Zabbix alerts as SMS. The German SMS gateway 

http://www.smstrade.de is used as transport.

So, this script is pretty much specific for this provider and its HTTP API.



It is very similar to http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/howto/config/alerts/smsapi

but written in Python. Similarly, the subject is ignored, instead the message

is used as SMS text. Additionally, this script will cut the passed message text

after 160 characters to ensure only one (non-concatenated) SMS is sent.



The script should not produce any output normally. But it does log a status line

when the SMS is delivered to the smstrade.de API, including the response code to

the system's syslog daemon. Additionally, it logs any errors to syslog.

So, it can be used (and is intended to) as an alert script (media type script in Zabbix).



zabbix_common.py

----------------

This is not really a script, just some common code shared by various scripts. Simply ignore.



Common Configuration

--------------------



The scripts are configured by one shared config file.

A sample config file is included. You should copy it to 

one of the following locations (it is read in that order):



 * /etc/zabbix-scripts.conf

 * /etc/zabbix/zabbix-scripts.conf

 * ~/.zabbix-scripts.conf  (~ is replaced by the home directory of the user who executes this script)

Ideas, questions, patches and bug reports

If you add something, or fix a bug, find a cool feature missing or just want to say hello,

please tell me. I'm always happy about feedback.
