Firmware upgrade, configuration backups

[Crypty]

Hi everybody,

We have a product which needs some tasks to be done from time to time. Like backuping the configuration, upgrading the firmware, ... But so far, we need to go to the web interface and do it manually. OR we can login via SSH and do it manually via a command line.

Another option I found is executing some external script, but this script must be triggered/run every X hours/days (based on Item configuration). Or it needs to be enabled/disabled for individual host, ...

Is there any kind of possibility thanks to which I would be able to click on the host and except the PING test, TRACEROUTE, OS - there would also be a link saying "Firmware upgrade" or "Configuration backup" which would execute some bash script doing the task? And maybe even some log about whether it was successful or not... Similar to those PING, ... popup windows.

Is it possible? And not to lose it after Zabbix upgrade (e.g. now from 3.0.1 to some future version).

Thanks guys!

Hi, did you find some resolution regarding this topic? I'm experiencing the same "Dilema"... how to upgrade Firmware automatically.

Hi,

Is there any possibility to have SUBMENUS within this "Script" menu?

E.g. For the pre-defined PING script, instead of executing ping, open a submenu and select whether 3, 10 or 50 probes will be sent...

Hi,

I would say, so far, we do not do the FW upgrades via Zabbix, but I could run it manually from the maps for example.

For some kind of automatic, I might go via 'crontab' ... Or also, if you have a script ready, you can really set the time for the item once a day and checking the current FW in the unit compared with the required version.

Once you have a bash script, it can work OK I think.
