Which macro to use for eventids

[booblik]

Colleagues, how can you get and transfer the value of eventids to the script. Tried using the {EVENT.ID} macro, doesn't work
/usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/ssh.py --ip {HOST.DNS} --idm {EVENT.ID}

Any ideas anyone ?
thanks

Hey there.

Could you explain a littler better what you're trying to do?
Where is that script running from, what is triggering it?
It's not so clear to me, sorry.

I have a working python script that runs after a trigger fires and comments out an event. But for it to work through zabbix, it needs to get the value of eventids. VIDEO https://disk.yandex.ru/i/gPzUZJM8gHhfbQ (set high quality when watching video)
I tried to create my own {$mymacros} macro and then pass the value of the macro to the script, it works. But that doesn't suit me because I have a lot of devices.
can I somehow get the value of eventids via api or via frontend?
I don't want to use web scraping

Hey booblik, I think I may have a solution to help you with this issue.

First thing you need is an action to run this script automatically when the trigger is fired, and you can pass a remote command to run your script, while it receives {HOST.DNS} and {EVENT.ID} as parameters as the following:



Inside your python script you can import the lib "sys", and pass those parameters as variables:




That way, you can easily point it into the Zabbix API JSON body to ackonowledge the event.

Use the variable "eventid" inside "message: ", and it will always display the EventID in the message.

Hope this helps you somehow.


Cheers, have a nice weekend.
