Monitoring Mirth channels with Mirth REST API

[DaLoZ]

I'm trying to monitor mirth channels with the help of their API but having a hard time to wrap my head around discovery rules.

I've created a template with an item and some simple preprocessing that retrieves and converts XML to the json data we need.


Example of the JSON:



We'd like to monitor the 'queued' count and 'state' of every channel.

How to create a discovery rule to discovery every channel in the JSON?

I tried the following but am getting nowhere.

I got it working and will post a "guide" in the cookbook section and link it here.

I did not realize how close I am getting to what we want.

The Mirth Channel discovery items are being created on the host, but get an error "unknow metric http.mirth.api.channels.discovery"

[DaLoZ]

I think I have to use 'dependent item' instead of 'zabbix agent' in the 'Item prototypes'.

It is unclear to me what I need to user as 'Key':

[DaLoZ]

This key is not unique to I changed it to:
[CODE]http.mirth.api.channels["{#CHANNEL.QUEUE}"][\CODE]

But this gives the result below:

The queue of the channel is 0, so it can retrieve the data but I dont know where to put it

[DaLoZ]

Do I need to provide additional info?

I assumed this would be a simple use case and someone who has done this before would see immediately see this issue.

[DaLoZ]

Right now a new item get created for every channel with the channel name on the host, but the value contains all the JSON data the API returns instead of just the values I need.

use the magic of preprocessing to parse json and extract the necessary data.

I already am... And can use the LLD macro's (see the first post), but how do I get the data to be filled in as a value?

I've got to start monitoring mirth (with Zabbix6.2) so I'm eager to know how you got this working DaLoz. Is it possible to download your template?

Hi! Where can I find a guide? Thank you very much
