Zabbix Dynamic PDF Report Generation

[SupportGuy]

Hello,

Just to give my feeback.

It works fine for me with Zabbix 2.0.4 under RH6.3 and PHP 5.3

Thank you for this great job, it makes up a lack of Zabbix.

Just one suggetsion / improvment idea, it would be nice to had other filter by choosing for example :
- several hosts but not all,
- the graphs to had to the report.

In my dozen of servers and hundreds of items it may be quite heavy

Upgrade source code for working with version Zabbix 2.0.4 + php5.3
- call deprecated functions in ini_set();
- change login string;
- change API calls to new format;
Version in attachment (without folder: fonts - attachment limit).

Waiting for feedback

Hi !

What can be that ... ?

Hello thiagomz,

Create a directory called "tmp_cookies" in your root zabbix directory. Then, apply security on this folder with apache user/group owner.

Hi all

Thanks for taking the time to create this plugin

Any chance we could get the ability to have a single graph / report for a host group (for availability report reasons) that would be fantastic!

PDF Reort Generation

having issue installing FFMPEG, after installing ffmpeg,ffmpeg-devel and libs, unable to find ffmpeg.so... please let me know whether it is very much required to generate PDF or is there any alternative or solution.

Hey Guys,

Everything is working fine, except the layout of PDF as you can see attached.

Any help?

Many Tks!

Are the fonts installed?

[tiagosoares]

Hey krawalli!!

Thats it! I just downloaded the zip file provided by marakshin (to version 2.0.4) and the "font" folder was not included.

Thank you!

Scheduled reports

Hello everybody!

Is there a way of scheduling this PDF reports? Can it be added to a next version?

[wamsterdam]

Not yet working...

I'm trying to get this to work with version 2.0.5, but with little succes. At first, I could only choose ALL for hosts. After putting a var_dump($hosts) on line 50 in pdfforms.php (after fetching the data with ZabbixAPI:fetch_array), my browser shows an array containing:

array(13) {
  [0]=>
  array(1) {
    ["hostid"]=>
    string(5) "10125"
  }
  [1]=>
  array(1) {
    ["hostid"]=>
    string(5) "10079"
  }
  [2]=>
  array(1) {
    ["hostid"]=>
    string(5) "10076"
  }
[...]

The function ReadArray in pdfform.php expects "host", not "hostid" as in the array. When I change (line 34):

if($key == 'host') {
    echo "<option value=\"$value\">$value</option>";
} 

to:

if($key == 'hostid') {
    echo "<option value=\"$value\">$value</option>";
} 

I can choose my hosts. Not by name though, but by hostid. I do not know if it is supposed to show hostnames or hostid's? So now I can choose hosts, an image is created in tmp_images and a PDF file is created. But instead of showing graphs, it is showing an image with error: Critical error, field "graphid" is not integer. Exactly the same error as zabbixflic in reply #32, but had no API access. I do, because I recieve a list of hosts.

Is this because of me editing pdfform.pdf or because I upgraded from 1.8.7 to 2.0.5? Does anybody know what it takes to get this working?

TIA,
Wouter

EDIT: OK, a little bit closer... I also had to change generatereport.pdf (line 116) change "host" to "hostid":

$hostGraphs = ZabbixAPI::fetch_array('graph','get',array('extendoutput'=>'shorten','select_graphs'=>'shorten','filter'=>array('host'=>$site)))
        or die('Unable to get graphs: '.print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true)); 

to:

$hostGraphs = ZabbixAPI::fetch_array('graph','get',array('extendoutput'=>'shorten','select_graphs'=>'shorten','filter'=>array('hostid'=>$site)))
        or die('Unable to get graphs: '.print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true)); 

But now my image contains only HTML code:

You are not logged in.
You cannot view this URL as a guest. You must login to view this page.
If you think this message is wrong, please consult your administrators about getting the necessary permissions.

Now what?

[wamsterdam]

It's working now

Finally got it working now. I forgot to edit the $z_login_data string in config.inc.php as mentioned in post #65. If you use Travis's version from post #100 and replace "host" with "hostid" as in my previous post, you're good to go with Zabbix 2.0.5.

Hi, I'm trying to use this on Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS, Zabbix 1.8.11
I'm getting a PDF report but with no graphs (blank Graphs page).

This is what shows up in apache logs many times (probably 1 for each graph):

[Mon Apr 22 12:34:47 2013] [error] [client 10.10.10.10] PHP Notice: getimagesize(): Read error! in /usr/share/zabbix/custom_pages/class.ezpdf.php on line 1319, referer: http://10.10.10.2/custom_pages/pdfform.php

PNG files in tmp_images all have the size of "0".

Is there something missing?

[wamsterdam]

Have you put the correct permissions on the tmp_images folder?

Wouter

[kot_vaska]

Have you put the correct permissions on the tmp_images folder?

Wouter

drwxrwxr-x 2 root www-data 4096 Apr 22 13:36 tmp_images

It must be, otherwise png files in the tmp_images folder would not be created. They just are 0 in size.

Created files:
