Zabbix Dynamic PDF Report Generation

[RonnyP]

When do you get this error? Accessing the index.php page?
What happens if you go to the Zabbix report-page directly (not through screen)?
I assume you adjusted the values in config.inc.php to match your environment?

Yes. This error occurs when access: http://10.1.1.251/zabbix/zabbix_dyna...port/index.php

Follow my config file below:

# zabbix server info(user must have API access)
$z_server = 'http://10.1.1.251/zabbix/';
$z_user = 'Admin';
$z_pass = 'zabbix';
# Temporary directory for storing pdf data and graphs - must exist
$z_tmp_path = './tmp';
# Directory for storing PDF reports
$pdf_report_dir = './reports';
# Root URL to reports
$pdf_report_url = $z_server ."report/reports";
# paper settings
$paper_format = 'A4'; // formats supported: 4A0, 2A0, A0 -> A10, B0 -> B10, C0 -> C10, RA0 -> RA4, SRA0 -> SRA4, LETTER, LEGAL, EXECUTIVE, FOLIO
$paper_orientation = 'portrait'; // formats supported: portrait / landscape
# time zone - see http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

Zabbix version 2.2

[RonnyP]

Yes. This error occurs when access: http://10.1.1.251/zabbix/zabbix_dyna...port/index.php

Follow my config file below:
Zabbix version 2.2

Ok. It may be because Zabbix now have removed user.authenticate from 2.2 API as well.
Could you test by modifying inc/ZabbixAPI.class.php? Find this section (line 279-284):

    /**
     * Private login function to perform the login
     */
    private function __login() {
        // Try to login to our API
        $data = $this->__callAPI('user.authenticate', array( 'password' => $this->password, 'user' => $this->username ));

Replace: user.authenticate
With: user.login
and let me know how this works. I'll investigate further tomorrow.

Also change line 250-251

        if ($this->auth_hash == NULL && $method != 'user.authenticate')
            return false;  // If we're not logged in, no wasting our time here

Replace: user.authenticate
With: user.login

For me applying both changes to the api worked.

I've rewritten most of the code for the Dynamic PDF Generator to suit me better. I have not done much changes with the code that do the actual PDF generation.
Maybe someone else will find this modified version useful as well.

I don't use this through a screen since the screen refreshes, and some larger reports may take a while to generate.
I just install this under the web-folder as "report". You may need to adjust some parameters in config.inc.php, in particular:
$z_server = 'http://your-zabbix-server-address/zabbix/';
$z_user = 'Admin';
$z_pass = 'ChangePassword';
$company_name = 'Zabbix'; // Used in PDF Report

The index page now is a bit more loaded with Javascript - mostly Jquery to help with typeable selector, calendar, hiding/displaying fields based on radio buttons.

Changes (that I can remember :
* inc/: Moved included files to its own folder
* js/ : Created javascript (jquery) files in its own folder
* css/: Moved css files to its own folder. Added some of Zabbix CSS to
these.
* index.php: Rewrote all of "pdfform.php" and created it as just index.php.
* index.php: Allows reporting on group. Uses GroupID and HostID from
Zabbix API (not name).
* index.php: Uses Jquery (javascript) for many of the functions on the index page.
* index.php: Uses Jquery Calendar to select range for custom timeframe
* index.php: Uses Jquery Selector2 where you can search in the select
box. Good for installations with many groups/hosts.
* createpdf.php: Merged and rewrote code for pdf.php and
generatedreport.php.
* createpdf.php: Stores created reports in reports subdirectory. Does
* createpdf.php: Added some sanitization with filter_input on some
_GET variables. Need to implement on more.
* inc/index.functions.php: Moved some common function in index.php to
an included file
* inc/createpdf.functions.php: Moved common function from createpdf.php

That worked perfectly here, thanks

I would just like to know whether it is possible to generate the reports without using a browser. I mean, I would like to generate them automatically in my Ubuntu Server. Is it possible?

Thanks!



EDIT: Well, probably it is possible using PhantomJS, but I would have to spend some hours to understand how to use it... can anyone think a simpler way to generate the pdfs?

Updated report (0.8) - Triggers/Acknowledgements/Fixes/user login.

Hi folks!

I have had the good fortune to use the previous iterations of this report and have added some extra functionality that we wanted in our environment, such as:

* Option for customer to log on and only see their servers (both in drop-down and old reports).
* Show the triggers and acknowledgements a given host has had in the periode selected.
* Various fixes to the layout so elements stay within the bounds of the page and without going into the footer or header.
* Internationalization support. Extended characters needed to be converted from UTF-8 to a latin character set. I have gone with ISO-8859-1, but you can change it if needed. I have not made it a config item at this point.

I have placed my version in a TGZ-file on Google Drive (thus you should not need to set rights on tmp and reports directories). I hope this will be of use to some of you as well, and maybe you some of you can help me with the things I still don't know how to get at:

PLANNED:
	* HTML data for triggers/acknowledgements with fuller details. Right
	now only the subject is shown in the PDF (or the message in the case
	of acknowledgements). The reports would tend to get pretty big if the
	full body of the event is included. I plan to make the events
	collapsible, mostly like the 'show old reports' functionality from
	Ronny.
	* I would like to include basic trending information, a decent
	approximation of uptime for host and various important checks. As far
	as I can tell, this is not really posible with the API today (2.4.x)

I guess, as a temporary measure, I can include the current value of the Zabbix agent uptime check and the like, but that doesn't tell me about periods of unreachability and such (although the triggers gives a basic look at this).

Get the file here:

Happy reporting!
