monthly alert by customer (host group)

[tlabaume]

Hi,

I'm in Zabbix 2.2.2 (just upgraded) and I would like to extract easily a report in CSV format including all alert for a host group with date/hour, host, message, severity

I tried to create a external script under configuration/actions/operations in order to generate a txt file with those information but it seems that required parameters cannot be passed to the script. Does someone knows how to do that ?

I also tried to create a special media associated to one user using parameters $1 $2 and $3 but those parameters doesn't include the required information (host, severity). It seems that the script is executed but parameters are still empty.

I also look if there is a way to directly export alert to a syslog server but it seems that this function isn't implemented in Zabbix.


Here is my actual script :

#!/bin/bash
to=$1
subject=$2
body=$3
echo "$to" "$subject" "$body" >>/var/log/zabbix/alert_zabbix.log

launch with /usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts/alert.sh %1 %2 %3 in configuration/action/operations as a custom script on zabbix server

Thanks for your help.

In an alertscript you supply with the person you want to send something to, a subject and the body itself. When calling the script, you don't provide the parameters as %1 %2 %3.
$1 is supplied in the Media for the user

$2 and $3 are supplied in the action (Configuration -> Actions) where you build the message you want to send.

Since the data is stored in a database it is possible to create a script outside Zabbix where you access the database, extract the data you want to send and process it.
