How can I setup a url and ssh session to my hosts from within Zabbix

[edlentz]

As the subject mentions I want a way to click on a link from the host info to either go to the url of the host or to open an ssh session to that host from the zabbix server. Is this possible?

Thanks

Inventory?


Maps?




Maybe it will help you.

Thank you. I think that will work. I can't test for a couple of days.
thanks again

Hi Wellington,

I am trying to apply your suggestions. the one I am most interested in is the last one where the menu shows the links. My menu for a Host doesn't show that link option. How do I enable that and then where do I program the link for that host?

Thanks

Ed

The "link" option in the host menu only exists in Maps.
Monitormaneot --> Maps

You can create a map with your Hosts or edit an existing one.
Here are some links for your reading.

I figured out how to create a url link in Maps. Is there a way to automatically create the same for each host. Right now I have 127 hosts already being monitored. Each one has a webpage for programming. How can I "Update" a map with the existing hosts and then when I add a new host automatically.

Regarding Hosts:
MAPS:
Use group instead of host and select "Host group elements".

In label use the macro: {HOST.NAME}
To display the correct name on each Host.
In URLS:
Name: enter a name, e.g. Open SSH
in URL: Use macro {INVENTORY.URL.A}


As for the URL:
Host --> Inventory:
Open the Host Inventory and fill in the "URL A" field

This will expand all existing hosts in the selected group and you will only have URLs on hosts that have the "URL A" field filled in.
