Setting up MQTT monitoring with Zabbix 6.0(LTS), agent2, mosquitto and zigbee2mqtt

[troffasky]

As it happens, today I found a 22.04 server still with 7.2 installed, so I upgraded to 7.4.

Hello
On a Raspberry pi, zigbee2mqtt is sending the results to a local mosquitto instance and zabbix-agent 2 is running with active checks enabled.
On the zabbix server interface, a master item has been created for the Raspberry pi:
- name: zigbee-cgr
- type: Zabbix agent (active)...

[cgrenier]

Thanks for your help. I have been able to solve it by adding a PreProcessing in the master item.

On the zabbix server interface, a master item for the Raspberry pi is now
- name: zigbee-cgr
- type: Zabbix agent (active)
- key: mqtt.get["","zigbee2mqtt/zigbee-cgr/#"]...

I’m a Zabbix beginner looking for some guidance on how to "import" several hundred MQTT topics into Zabbix.
Below is an example of some MQTT topics and returned data. The plan is to create a csv with an item for each topic. The fields will include : MQTT broker, MQTT topic, preprocessing...

Just in addition to what Viktors said.

There is no native “CSV -> items” import in Zabbix. You’ll need some automation anyway – either via API or by generating a template file.
Since you’re on 7.4 + agent2 + MQTT, I’d look at it in two layers:
1. First build one good MQTT...

I have an instance of Home Assistant running on Home Assistant OS that runs the MQTT plugin along with the Mosquitto broker add-on. I'm publishing the state of multiple HA sensors to the broker using MQTT Statestream. Everything is working well and I can see the published data using MQTT Explorer. I've...

Hello everyone, I want to introduce my zbx-np program to you.

zbx-np is zabbix relay that can send data to your zabbix server using POST or GET requests. Now everything that can send http requests can send data to Zabbix. Also zbx-np supports get data form MQTT. zbx-np configured to use...

Folks,

We've been using Zabbix for a while to monitor a bunch of systems in our network, but this is the first time we've ever needed to do an integration with MQTT, in this case for supporting Ignition SCADA.

I found the page at https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/mqtt for...

Hi folks,

I have an interesting issue (well I think it's interesting
I have a LoRaWAN device which sends data packets in two different formats. In Zabbix I want to differentiate between them and discard one format.

As messages come in via MQTT the value gets set in...

The Zabbix MQTT TLS configuration process keeps failing. I don't know why.

[jeffmandel]

Change the key format to the following: mqtt.get["tls://192.168.2.71:8883","test/topic","zabbix_user","passwd123"]
The system will then accept it.

Thanks, Markku, for the heads-up.

[Markku]

For number 4 (":8883,test" error), I'd suggest quoting the URL (you have incorrectly quoted everything as one parameter): https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...-quoted-string

For number 5 (session name), in https://www.zabbix.com/...

[BradKnowles]

Yeah, I'm fine with ignoring those other values. I'll pull out only the ones I need, and the rest just won't be used.



That would be easier to parse, yes. But I've already gone through all this pain to get to where we are now.

At this point, it shouldn't be too...
