Running scripts (when clicked on hosts)on Different Servers instead of zabbix server.

[zabbixfk]

Hello All,

Is there any way to trigger scripts ( Administration-> Scripts ) from different server say proxy server instead of zabbix server/agent?

The reason for this question was, i have a proxy server for which some range of hosts are connecting, and i wanted to run traceroute to hosts from proxy server. As of now i don't see any option to sepcify the same.



Any pointers are greatly helpful.

Thanks

Is it possible to run Custom scripts to manage hosts via proxies?

If so how do you do this?

{PROXY.NAME} macro is supported in "Trigger-based notifications and commands". So you can provide it to server script which may execute remote command on proxy via ssh.

Can you please give a specific example on how to do this? ie Where to place {proxy.name} and perhaps an example screenshot or syntax?

Thank you so much for your help

"Commands" field should looks like this:

ssh {PROXY.NAME} traceroute {HOST.CONN}

Of course, you have to configure public key access under zabbix user to proxy host.

Can you explain what you mean by public key access? I just tested this with a super admin and please see error below

Command :

ssh {PROXY.NAME} /bin/ping -c 3 {HOST.CONN} 2>&1

Error Received :

ssh: Could not resolve hostname {proxy.name}: Name or service not known

Hi Firm

Wanted to follow up to see if you knew how to solve this?

Thanks!

It seems that {PROXY.NAME} is not populated if script is running on server side. Need to investigate further.

Thanks, please let me know or if anyone else has any suggestions.

Seems like {PROXY.NAME} doesn't work anywhere in the system.
