Ip address

[Db0]

Is there a way for Zabbix to show what the IP address of a host is, to a user that does not have permission to see the host configuration page or a way to show the host configuration to a user that only has read access on default permission (I tested a few permission settings but none allowed me to give read access to the configuration tab.)


While on this subject, here's a wish list. A way to see the IP address and/or hostname of a label in a map when your mouse rolls over or you click on it.

i don't know if zabbix has a built-in item. But you can do it yourself by
creating a user item:
UserParameter=system.ip,nslookup $HOSTNAME | grep Address | grep -v "#" | cut -d" " -f2

(not tested)...

You could also do it via ifconfig...

ok, you lost me. How do I create this user parameter and how do I use it in zabbix?
I can see what the command is supposed to be (and it also works) but I don't know how to use it in zabbix. Can you elaborate?

[just2blue4u]

just add it to zabbix_agentd.conf (at the bottom, to the other (commented) userparameters).

then run zappix_agentd -p and check key system.ip.
If it exists, restart agentd and add key in zabbix_server.

Ah, so it requires a zabbix agent on the target?
