Multi-IM Media (Yahoo, MSN, ...)

[giapnguyen]

Zabbix only support Jabber as IM media, but we can write a script media for other IMs.
- Get and install phurple - it is a php extension for libpurple (libpurple is core lib of Pidgin)
Make sure you install php-cli php-dev libpcre libpurple
Download lastest phurple @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/phurple/

# phpize && ./configure --enable-phurple && make && make install
# cp phurple.so /usr/lib/php5/20060613/ (the dir may different in your computer)

Create a sendIM.php script @ /home/zabbix/bin

#! /usr/bin/php -n
<?php

                $account = $connection->getAccount();
             
                if($account->get("auto-login")) {
                     $buddy =  $_SERVER["argv"][1]; // your account

                    $conversation->sendIM($title."\n".$body);

                mkdir($user_dir);
            }
        
            PhurpleClient::setUserDir($user_dir);
            PhurpleClient::setDebug(false);
            PhurpleClient::setUiId("TestUI");
        
            $client = CustomPhurpleClient::getInstance();
            

//your msn account here            
//$client->addAccount("msn:[email protected]:[email protected]:1863");
//your yahoo acccount here
            $client->addAccount("yahoo://user_name:[email protected]:5050"); 
            $client->connect();
            $client->runLoop();
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            echo "[Phurple]: " . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
            die();
        }
?>

- chmod a+x sendIM.php
- Create a script media type in zabbix. Type sendIM.php in script name.
- Assign media for a user. Type user IM account in send to.
- Create an action with Action operations is send message to the user.

Now we can play a flash game, if any problem zabbix will send a message for us
