SSH to a Device over Zabbix

[makemeasandwich]

Hello,

i want to SSH to a device over the Map feature in Zabbix.
That means that I want a SSH terminal to open on the device so that I can directly do some configuration there.

I saw there is a option called "Scripts" and there are already 3 Scripts included... Detect operation system, Ping, Traceroute. I now included SSH from the /usr/bin folder, I dont know if this script is the right one to do this?

Do I need to enter the pub key of my device some where as well?

Because I am getting an error with some path + Host verification failed.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think scripts were intended to do as you would like. You run the interface from a web browser on your local machine whereas the script runs local to the host itself. If you select 'ping' it brings up a dialog with the output from ping, however no interaction is available. Hence, I think it is intended more for simple remote command execution to automate troubleshooting.

Although being able to configure an automate a remote login like SSH, telnet, and RDP would be a cool feature to have in Zabbix; I think that would require some kind of integrated java web start or javascript page that the zabbix web front end could serve up directly.

Yes it would be a cool feature. I also thought it is a common feature =( but I guess u are right, for ssh you will need a javascript page cuz of the interaction with the fingerprint so the zabbix web front end could serve up directly.

I just thought its already integrated and i just didn't know how to make use of it.

Mabye a zabbix specialist can verify if the feature is avaible or not?

thanks a lot for your answer!!

Any updates on this topic? Is zabbix planning to add some feature to connect via a host directly from the web interface by opening a SSH interactive session?
