pulling zabbix info to external page

[wpervaiz]

i'm looking to pull out some info from zabbix (i.e. the "System status" screen from the dashboard page); and display it on an external php page that I keep on my company website. Is there a way I could let apache log in and pull that info from my zabbix server ?

I know the zabbix firefox plugin does something similar so if theres an easy way to do this, it would be much appreciated!

thanks!

you need first login with your application

then in your cookie you need get "sid" value doing:

zbx_sessionid cookie value is 32characters
yo need get 16 last
example:
zbx_sessionid = "edb8432bc7b09992bba82519ea14d666"
sid is bba82519ea14d666

and you can send post to dashboard.php
example:

post to

http://host/zabbix/dashboard.php?output=html&sid=bba82519ea14d666

with params like:
favcnt 10
favid hat_lastiss
favobj set_rf_rate

(use firebug and enable network to zabbix form see post params)

What about taking the informations directly in the database with a query ?
Won't it be easier ?

You just execute one or more query to collect what you want to display, then you display it the way you want using php code, on your website. I think it's more simple no ?

thanks a lot !!!

For anyone looking to do this, here is what i did:

	//authenticating first
        xmlHttp0.open("GET", "index.php?form=1&form_refresh=1&name=USER_NAME_HERE&password=ENTER_PASSWORD_HERE&enter=Enter", true);


	xmlHttp0.onreadystatechange = function()
	{
		if (xmlHttp0.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp0.status == 200)
		{ 
			var cookieStart=document.cookie.indexOf("zbx_sessionid=")+30;
			zabbix_sid = document.cookie.substring(cookieStart,cookieStart+16);

			xmlHttp.open("GET", "dashboard.php?output=html&favid=hat_syssum&favobj=refresh&sid="+zabbix_sid, true);
			xmlHttp.send(false);
		}

	}

	xmlHttp0.send(false);


	
	xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function()
	{
		if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200)
		{ 
			document.getElementById("status").innerHTML = "<html:span>" + xmlHttp.responseText +"</html:span>";
		} 
	} 


	xmlHttp.send(false);

This gives me the system over view without having a user log in manually each time.... my next goal is to parse this information and generate an image that can be sent out automatically via email x times a day.

thanks again !
