Hi there,
I am completely new to Zabbix (which seems to be a great piece of software by the way).
During the last week I tried to feed data into Zabbix from all types of hosts our customers have.
Now I am looking for a way to get data out of Zabbix. Let me give you examples of what kind of data I am interested in:
I would like a list of all our ZyXEL firewalls with their Name, Serial Number and Firmware Version.
The same goes for APC UPS (monitored either through PCBE or direct SNMP): A list of APS UPSs with their Name, (PCBE Version), Firmware Version.
A list of our windows servers with Name and Used Space on filesystems.
I would like those lists to be able to find devices with outdated firmware, coming low disk space events and so on.
I know Zabbix is primarily a monitoring system not an inventory system. But it has lots of data in it and I would like to make use of this data.
What is the best way to go? Is Grafana the solution to work with? There seems to be no recent information about the Zabbix-Grafana duo.
Please give me some advice in which direction I should put my research and I will try to go from there.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Thomas.
Currently I have a fresh installation of Zabbix 6.0.3 on Debian 11 with approx. 20 test hosts in it. That should increase to hundreds of hosts in the future.
