Any way to automate downloading of png graph data?

[jeenam]

Does anyone know how to go about downloading png graph data using wget? Can it be done? The problem we're running into is passing the authentication credentials with the zabbix URL for wget. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

We figured out how to do this. Here's the deal. First create a user and set their session timeout to "0" (infinite - session timeout disabled). Then use that user to obtain the following:


#!/bin/sh

USER=username
PASS=password
OUTFILE=/tmp/picture.png
COOKIEFILE=/tmp/zabbix_cookies
ITEM=XXXX
PERIOD=604800

wget --quiet -O /dev/null --post-data="form=1&form_refresh=1&name=$USER&password=$P ASS&enter=Enter" --save-cookies $COOKIEFILE --keep-session-cookies 'https://zabbix.server.com/zabbix/index.php'

wget --quiet --post-data='' -O $OUTFILE --load-cookies=$COOKIEFILE "https://zabbix.server.com/zabbix/chart.php?itemid=$ITEM&from=0&period=$PERIOD&width =1393"

hey, i think this could be a really cool feature for alert messages...
Zabbix being able to send custom alert emails with the appropriate graph included...
