A script to sync the Netbox device inventory to Zabbix. ## Requires pyzabbix and pynetbox. ### Script settings #### Enviroment variables * ZABBIX_HOST="https://zabbix.local" * ZABBIX_USER="username" * ZABBIX_PASS="Password" * NETBOX_HOST="https://netbox.local" * NETBOX_TOKEN="secrettoken" #### Flags | Flag | Option | Description | | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | | -c | cluster | For clustered devices: only add the primary node of a cluster and use the cluster name as hostname. | | -H | hostgroup | Create non-existing hostgroups in Zabbix. Usefull for a first run to add all required hostgroups. | | -t | tenant | Add the tenant name to the hostgroup format (Tenant/Site/Manufacturer/Role) | | -v | Verbose | Log with debugging on. | #### Logging Logs are generated under sync.log, set the script for debugging / info options etc. #### Hostgroups: manual mode In case of omitting the -H flag, manual hostgroup creation is required for devices in a new category. This is in the format: {Site name}/{Manufacturer name}/{Device role name} And with tenants (-t flag): {Tenant name}/{Site name}/{Manufacturer name}/{Device role name} Make sure that the Zabbix user has proper permissions to create hosts. The hostgroups are in a nested format. This means that proper permissions only need to be applied to the site name hostgroup and cascaded to any child hostgroups. ### Netbox settings #### Custom fields Use the following custom fields in Netbox to map the Zabbix URL: * Type: Integer * Name: zabbix_hostid * Required: False * Default: null * Object: dcim > device And this field for the Zabbix template * Type: Text * Name: zabbix_template * Required: False * Default: null * Object: dcim > device_type #### Permissions Make sure that the user has proper permissions for device read and modify (modify to set the Zabbix HostID custom field) operations. #### Custom links To make the user experience easier you could add a custom link that redirects users to the Zabbix latest data. * Name: zabbix_latestData * Text: {% if obj.cf["zabbix_hostid"] %}Show host in Zabbix{% endif %} * URL: {ZABBIX_URL} /zabbix.php?action=latest.view&filter_hostids[]={{ obj.cf["zabbix_hostid"] }}&filter_application=&filter_select=&filter_set=1
