Zabbix sender PHP version

[limo]

For those who do not want external command to send zabbix event from php scripts:

function zabbix_send($server,$port,$hostname,$key,$msg) {
                $host64=base64_encode($hostname);
                $key64=base64_encode($key);
                $msg64=base64_encode($msg); 
$req="<req><host>$host64</host><key>$key64</key><data>$msg64</data></req>\n";
                $s=fsockopen($server,$port,$errnum,$errstr,15);
                if (is_resource($s)) {
                        fputs($s,$req);
                        while (!feof($s)) {
                                $ret.= fgets($s, 1024);
                        }
                        return($ret);
                } else {
                        return(false);
                }
}

PHP Native zabbix_sender compatible with 1.8 using Json

Can anybody try to do compatible with 1.8 version? I tried but is impossible for me. Thanks for advance.


I found for 1.6.x this:

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showpost.php?p=44969&postcount=2

But in currently is needed add some headers and calculate sizes. Can any body help and give an example working with current 1.8 version?

I supose that with this examples should be possible, but for me is so hard try to port code related with pack from python to php:

http://tinymsg.appspot.com/Uo1

http://docs.python.org/library/struct.html

http://docs.python.org/library/struct.html#format-characters

http://php.net/manual/es/function.pack.php

Possible from here somebody that understand better java can try to help to port:

I'm not sure whether you want an implementation in PHP or Python, for the latter, see http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=90132

Pure PHP zabbix_sender compatible with 1.8 using Json

A zabbix 1.8 version of the zabbix_sender in PHP, with complete error handling.

function zabbix_sender( $server,$port,$hostname,$data ) {
   $body = (object)array(
      "request" => "sender data",
      "data" => array(),
   );

   foreach( $data as $key => $value ) {
      array_push( $body->data, (object)array(
            "host" => $hostname,
            "key" => $key,
            "value" => $value,
         )
      );
   }

   $json_body = json_encode( $body );

   $size = strlen( $json_body );
   $request = pack( "a4CV2a*", "ZBXD", 1, $size, ( $size >> 32 ), $json_body );

   // Suppress warning, since we check below for success
   @$s=fsockopen($server,$port,$errnum,$errstr,15);
   if( is_resource( $s ) ) {
      fputs($s,$request);
      // 13 byte header
      for( $bytesRead = 0; $bytesRead < 13 && !feof( $s ); $bytesRead++ ) {
         $header .= fread( $s, 1 );
      }

      list( $ZBX, , $sizeL, $sizeH ) =
         array_values( unpack( 'a4zbx/Csep/Vh/Vl', $header ) );
      $msgSize = ( $sizeL + ( $sizeH >> 32 ) );
      while( !feof( $s ) ) {
         $ret .= fread( $s, $msgSize );
      }

      if( $retStatus = json_decode($ret,true) ) {
         $status = preg_split( "/([A-Z][a-z ]*)\s+(\S+)\s*/",
            $retStatus["info"], -1,
            PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE | PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY );
         for( $i = 0; $i < count( $status ); $i += 2 ) {
            $key = $status[$i];
            $val = $status[$i+1];
            $retStatus["status"][$key] = $val;
         }
      }
      else {
         $retStatus = array(
            "response" => "failed",
            "info" => "Invalid response",
         );
      }
      return( $retStatus );
   } else {
      $retStatus = array(
         "response" => "failed",
         "info" => "$errstr ($errno)",
      );
      return( $retStatus );
   }
}

To use:

$data = array(
   "statusthing1" => "175",
   "statusthing2" => "1231"
);

$rv = zabbix_sender( "127.0.0.1", 10051, "myhostname", $data );
var_dump( $rv );

$rv contains an array that looks like this:

array(3) {
  ["response"]=>
  string(7) "success"
  ["info"]=>
  string(51) "Processed 2 Failed 0 Total 2 Seconds spent 0.000041"
  ["status"]=>
  array(4) {
    ["Processed"]=>
    string(1) "2"
    ["Failed"]=>
    string(1) "0"
    ["Total"]=>
    string(1) "2"
    ["Seconds spent"]=>
    string(8) "0.000041"
  }
}

If there's a socket or message handling error, $rv["response"] will be "failed", with $rv["info"] giving the reason why.

Float values are cuted?

If I send a float value with this script the zabbix system recieves the cuted value before the dot (5.51 --> 5)

If I use zabbi_sender all is working well...

Any idea?
