Ruby Zabbix Api Module

Simple and lightweight ruby module for work with zabbix api

Now worked with zabbix

• 1.8.2 (api version 1.2) /zabbixapi 0.6.x
• 1.8.9 (api version 1.3) /zabbixapi 0.6.x
• 2.0.x (api version 1.4 -> 2.0.10) /zabbixapi 2.0.x

Version policy

Zabbixapi has next version policy:

• for zabbix 1.8.9 and below you should use zabbixapi 0.6.x
• for zabbix 2.0.x you should use zabbixapi 2.0.y
• for zabbix 2.2.x you should use zabbixapi 2.2.y (coming soon)

The PATCH (third digit) version of zabbixapi should not correspond to PATCH version of zabbix, for example zabbixapi-2.0.x should works with all version of zabbix 2.0.y

We support only two last versions of zabbix (2.0 and 2.2), so you should consider zabbixapi 0.6.x depricated.

Installation

gem install zabbixapi

Getting Started

Connect

require "zabbixapi"

zbx = ZabbixApi.connect(
  :url => 'http://localhost/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php',
  :user => 'Admin',

  :host => "template",
  :groups => [:groupid => zbx.hostgroups.get_id(:name => "hostgroup")]
)

Create Application

  :name => application,
  :hostid => zbx.templates.get_id(:host => "template")
)

Create Item

  :key_ => "proc.num[aaa]",
  :hostid => zbx.templates.get_id(:host => "template"),
  :applications => [zbx.applications.get_id(:name => "application")]
)
# or use (lib merge json):

  :type => 6,
  :hostid => zbx.templates.get_id(:host => "template"),

  :status => 0
)
#You can check item:
puts zbx.items.get_full_data(:description => "item")

      :dns => 'server.example.org',
      :port => 10050,
      :useip => 0
    }
  ],
  :groups => [ :groupid => zbx.hostgroups.get_id(:name => "hostgroup") ]

puts zbx.hosts.get_full_data(:host => "hostname")

zbx.hosts.delete zbx.hosts.get_id(:host => "hostname")

Create graph

gitems = {
  :itemid => zbx.items.get_id(:description => "item"),
  :calc_fnc => "2",
  :type => "0",
  :periods_cnt => "5"
}

zbx.graphs.create(
  :gitems => [gitems],
  :show_triggers => "0",
  :name => "graph",
  :width => "900",
  :height => "200"
)

Update graph

zbx.graphs.update(

  :gitems => [gitems],
  :show_triggers => "1",
  :name => graph,
  :width => "900",
  :height => "200"
)

Get ids by host

zbx.graphs.get_ids_by_host(:host => "hostname")
#You can filter graph name:
zbx.graphs.get_ids_by_host(:host => "hostname", filter => "CPU")

Delete graph

zbx.graphs.delete(zbx.graphs.get_id(:name => "graph"))

Get all templates linked with host

zbx.templates.get_ids_by_host( :hostids => [zbx.hosts.get_id(:host => "hostname")] )
#returned hash:
#{
#  "Templatename" => "10",
#  "Templatename" => "1021"
#}
