How to gather data received by external script?

[forkman]

Hello I am not sure how to do this.

I need to monitor Ubiquiti devices which are able to send their status as HTTP POST to predefined URL. So the my question: Is possible to gather data received by that script?

The way of communication is that:

UBNT device -> http://some.url/script.php -> here I get parsed pamams and values

How can I use this for serving values to zabbix?

I have only one idea: fill some mysql database by my script and use other zabbix external script to read data from this database. But I hope it can be done by better way.

Thank you.

Hello,
if the data is going to php script, you can try to execute there the system run command and pas the data to the shell, where you can send an SNMP trap.

zabbix dont acept data "pasive check" via HTTP-POST ...

check if you can
1) sned smp-trap from that host to zabbix
2) you config the php to execute scripts


so there is a posibility to send the data to the zabbix!!!!

good luck!
