How to assign hosts to specific groups using Discovery ?
Hello all,
I'm discovering Zabbix (5.4) since few months and have happily done some basic monitoring of manually added host.
Since few days, I would like to use the Discovery rules to detect the different type of host running on my network and automatically assign them to different host groups.
I have a rules that is scanning my 10.130.3.x range for HTTP, Ping and SSH which seems to run as expected.
Now I have added discovery actions that assign:
Host to group A if HTTP and Ping are up
Condition is: (And)
- Discovery check equals 10.130.3.x : HTTP
- Discovery check equals 10.130.3.x : ICMP Ping
- Discovery status equals Up
Operations:
- Add to host groups A
Host to group B if SSH and Ping are up
Condition is: (And)
- Discovery check equals 10.130.3.x : SSH
- Discovery check equals 10.130.3.x : ICMP Ping
- Discovery status equals Up
Operations:
- Add to host groups B
but nothing is added to any group...
It seems according to the documentation that each checks generates a different event, so the AND condition is probably never true as it is not possible to have HTTP + Ping Up at the same time.
So my questions are:
- Did I properly understand how Discovery and discovery actions conditions are managed ?
- How can I achieve my goal to assign host to different groups based on the detected service running ?
Maybe I have used the wrong tools and Discovery has a different goal, so feel free to suggest other way to do it!
Ideally, if I can add host to a group based on a shell script results to do some custom analysis of the host, it could be very nice but I'm not sure it is possible.
Kind regards
