Possible to import item values from csv, or xml?

[monrovi]

Hi,

In Citrix Command Center, one can schedule a report on Virtual Server statistics and output values in csv or xml.

Does anybody know of a way to pull this data into Zabbix as an item?

It would be nice to use Zabbix's history and trend visuals, and also group this info with related hosts. I thought may an external check might work, but that doesn't look workable.

Thanks

You can use zabbix_sender to import your data in zabbix.
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/.../zabbix_sender
Use it with the -i option (input file) and the -T (with-timestamps).
You will of cause need a script to phase you data to the zabbix_sender input file format.

I use zabbix_sender a lot - also to import and make trends for data long back in time (with the -T option).

That is a great idea. I'm going to test this out today.

Thanks!
