Hello everyone,
I have recently set up a zabbix server 5.4 with around 200 hosts and 15k checks on a Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS VM for the infrastructure at the company I currently work at, using a lot of community templates and reading through a lot of these forums, but unfortunately I could not find any for Exchange Online or other M365 services.
Let me start this by saying I have zero background in scripting/coding, other than a little bit of powershell so please share some of your wisdom with me.
I have found and modified a powershell script that lists mailboxes above a certain size, and a variation of that that just counts how many there are (so I can create the appropriate zabbix trigger easier).
Of course, powershell has been installed on the Ubuntu server, together with the necessary modules (ExchangeOnlineManagement & PSWSMan). The script has two parts, it first uses Connect-ExchangeOnline to connect and then Get-EXOMailbox to get the list of mailboxes after filtering out the smaller ones.
The ps1 script works fine on both the Ubuntu VM and on my Windows PC.
I then researched some more and saw that I have to create a bash .sh script to call that .ps1 powershell script and create an external check with the .sh script's name in zabbix web.
After configuring all that, I am stuck as in the history log of the external check item I can see that it cannot identify the powershell modules I mentioned in order to connect to the Exchange Online. When I put the Import-Module in the .ps1 script and re-tried, it says it cannot find any such modules to import...
both .ps1 and .sh scripts have been chmod'ed with +x and -R 777.
History log:
The term 'Connect-ExchangeOnline' is not recognized as a name [96m | [91mof a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. [96m | [91mCheck the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, [96m | [91mverify that the path is correct and try again.
and after adding import-module in the script:
The specified module 'ExchangeOnlineManagement' was not loaded [96m | [91mbecause no valid module file was found in any module directory.
You have my gratitude in advance.
