Using PHP Network WeatherMap with Zabbix

[fireless]

Help

Hello,

I'm newbie on Zabbix and I would like add php weathermap on my Zabbix.

It's possible to have a tutorial to install and configure it ? And how to create a weather map ?

I already tried with the information on this post, but I don't understand all.

Thanks for your help !

Hi,

Sure, I have just finished implementing weathermap and have it all working now though I haven't tried getting the graphs to work yet ....

Give me a few days and ill update this tread with all of the details.

Hi All,

Sorry but have been very busy at work so have quickly wrote this up in my short lunch break.


Install Weathermap

Move zab_chart.php to default location of Zabbix web front end.

Move both files to /weathermap/lib/datasources;

WeatherMapDataSource_zabbixitem.php
WeatherMapDataSource_zabbixhost.php

In both files there is a line as below, enter a username and password for zabbix

$useropt=array(user => 'ENTER USERNAME','password'=>'ENTER PASSWORD');

Move both below files into the /weathermap/configs;

test.conf
zab_template.conf

in zab_template.conf amend the URL to your zabbix URL

OVERLIBGRAPH http://URL/zabbix/weathermap_chart.php?host[]={link:this:hostname_in}&item[]={link:this:itemkey_in}&host[]={link:this:hostname_out}&item[]={link:this:itemkey_out}&color[]=009900&color[]=000099&drawtype[]=5&drawtype[]=2&height=150&width=600&legend=1&period=43200
INFOURL http://URL/zabbix/weathermap_chart.php?host[]={link:this:hostname_in}&item[]={link:this:itemkey_in}&host[]={link:this:hostname_out}&item[]={link:this:itemkey_out}&color[]=009900&color[]=000099&drawtype[]=5&drawtype[]=2&period=86400

Create two png files called icon_up.png and icon_down.png representing that status and move to /weathermap/images

Comment out line 94 in file CLocalApiClient.php located in /var/www/html/zabbix/include/classes/api/clients/

Before;

unset($params['nopermissions']);

After;

// unset($params['nopermissions']);



I might have missed something but please have a go and if you get issues let me know and ill try my best to help!!!!

Thanks

Has anyone got this working with zabbix 2.4.X?

I'm using the amousset plugin and information by stav to get up and running, but I'm getting the error below.

PHP Fatal error: Cannot unset string offsets in /var/www/html/zabbix/include/classes/api/clients/CLocalApiClient.php on line 94

Hi Jason

Do you get this error when trying to build a map? Can you please attach a copy of the map config and the php file and I'll have a look when I can.

Thanks

[Jason]

I commented out the following line in the file and it all seems to work fine although that might cause other issues.


// the nopermission parameter must not be available for external API calls.
# unset($params['nopermissions']);


I'm running 2.4.7 btw on 64bit Centos 6. My test map (only 2 nodes currently) seems to build ok...

Has no-one written a parser to convert a map export from zabbix to the basic format for weathermap?

[stav13]

Sorry Jason, my bad! that line is commented out on my system as well.

Must have done it whilst I was installing the app and forgot!

Has anyone made the leap to Zabbix 3.0 and tested weathermap with it yet ??

Thanks

[stav13]

Hi All,

FYI - I can confirm this is working for Zabbix 3.0.1

[colloque]

Hello,
I am sorry but i have a problem with the command
weathermap.py (I am using zabbix 3.0.1)

I have the following error:

command:
./weathermap.py -s test_map -z http://x.x.x.x -l Admin -p xxxx

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./weathermap.py", line 123, in <module>
main()
File "./weathermap.py", line 120, in main
WeathermapCLI()
File "./weathermap.py", line 55, in __init__
self._map_scan()
File "./weathermap.py", line 67, in _map_scan
map_data = zbx.scan_map(map_n)
File "/opt/Zabbix-Network-Weathermap/zabbix.py", line 76, in scan_map
raise ZbxException('map: {} not found'.format(map_name))
zabbix.ZbxException: map: test_map not found

Do you have an idea?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Hi,

Sorry but I don't run that command to generate my maps. To be honest I'm not sure what that command does. What are you trying to achieve?

Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.

I saw it on the website in the readme.md part in the script section:

https://github.com/Prototype-X/Zabbix-Network-Weathermap

Thanks.

Hey,

So first off, you folks are gentlemen/women and scholars, the lot of you. This thread is chock-full of useful information (if a bit spread out).

Second - I'm running this using stav13's tutorial-ish-thingy on Zabbix 3.0.1 and weathermap v0.97c.

I have run into an error that is an easy fix, and wanted to assist:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function warn() in /usr/share/zabbix/weathermap/lib/datasources/WeatherMapDataSource_zabbixhost.php on line 47

Can be solved by editing line 47 the file in question (WeatherMapDataSource_zabbixhost.php) to read

if(empty($item_)) wm_warn("ZabbixItem ReadData: Not found item for host '$host_name' and key_ '$item_key'");

Instead of

if(empty($item_)) warn("ZabbixItem ReadData: Not found item for host '$host_name' and key_ '$item_key'");

You should also edit WeatherMapDataSource_zabbixitem.php for the same reason. warn() is not used in this version of weathermap, now it's wm_warn().


By the way... there have been some changes, it seems, in the way this stuff works. Would someone who has used stav13's tutorial implemented with zabbix be willing to post a test config? The test configs in this thread are often missing various lines like "SET zabbix_user <username>" and stuff, so I'm not 100% on what has changed, what's required, etc. I've been trial-and-erroring the crap out of it, but if someone has a dead-on working test config, I would be super grateful!
