Monitoring Windows Backup

[Bl4nk]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Zabbix and seeking assistance in understanding how Trapper items work. As I understand it, a Trapper item allows the acceptance of incoming data. This means that it's not the item itself actively querying the server, but rather the server sends data to the item arbitrarily. Typically, this is achieved using a script, such as PowerShell, especially when dealing with a Windows server. To send data to the item, the 'zabbix_sender' command is used, like this: 'zabbix_sender -z <Zabbix server IP address> -p <Zabbix server port> -s "Host name" -k key -o "data value."

Now here's the PowerShell script :

$input_path = "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\Script\Winbackup.ps1"
$regex = "^Hostname=[\s+]*(.*)"
$matches = Select-String -Path $input_path -Pattern $regex -AllMatches
$currentDateTime = Get-Date
$ts = New-TimeSpan -Hours 24

if ($matches) {
    $hostname = $matches.Matches.Groups[1].Value
} else {
    $hostname = (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem -Property Name).Name
}

$lastBackup = $null

$backupdata = Get-WBJob -previous 1
if ($backupdata.JobType -eq "Backup") {
    $starttime = $backupdata.startTime
    $start_datetime = [datetime]::ParseExact($starttime, 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm', $null)
    $timeSinceLastBackup = $currentDateTime - $start_datetime

    if ($timeSinceLastBackup -gt $ts) {
        $errorcode = 2
    }
}

#Afficher la date et l'heure de la dernière sauvegarde
Write-Host "$hostname wb.lastbackup $($start_datetime.ToString('dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm'))"

$ts = New-TimeSpan -Days 1 -Hours 12 -Minutes 30
$expired = (Get-Date) - $ts

$backupdata_array = Get-WBJob -previous 10
foreach ($backupdata in $backupdata_array) {
    $JobType = $backupdata.JobType

    if ($JobType -eq "Backup") {
        $starttime = $backupdata.startTime
        $endtime = $backupdata.endTime
        $errormsg = $backupdata.errorDescription
        $originalerrormsg = $backupdata.errorDescription
        $resultcode = $backupdata.HResult
        $JobType = $backupdata.JobType

        if ($errormsg.Length -eq 0) {
            $endtime_datetime = [datetime]::ParseExact($endtime, 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm', $null)
            $start_datetime = [datetime]::ParseExact($starttime, 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm', $null)
            $duration = ($endtime_datetime - $start_datetime).TotalMinutes

            break
        }
    }
}

$endtime = [datetime]::ParseExact($endtime, 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm', $null)
$DateTime = (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()
$UnixTimeStamp = [System.Math]::Truncate((Get-Date -Date $DateTime -UFormat %s))

if ($errormsg.Length -eq 0) {
    $errorcode = 0;
    $errormsg = "-";
} else {
    $errorcode = 1;
}


Write-Host "$hostname wb.errorcode $errorcode"
Write-Host "$hostname wb.resultcode $resultcode"
Write-Host "$hostname wb.duration $duration min"
Write-Host "$hostname wb.errormsg $errormsg"
Write-Host "$hostname wb.starttime $starttime"
Write-Host "$hostname wb.timestamp $UnixTimeStamp"

​

And here's the output :

hostname wb.lastbackup value
hostname wb.errorcode vlaue
hostname wb.resultcode value
hostname wb.duration value
hostname wb.errormsg value
hostname wb.starttime value
hostname wb.timestamp value

Now, I want to send this data to the items, so I'm using this command:

%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -File "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\Script\Winbackup.ps1" | "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix_sender.exe" -c "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix_agentd.conf" -i - -vv

However I'm encountering an error :

zabbix_sender.exe [7140]: ERROR: [line 3] 'Key' required
Sending failed

I think I may have missed something. If someone could show me the way, I would greatly appreciate it.

This is not my doing; I took over NET-CRY's work. Here is his GitHub.

I'm sorry for my approximate English.

Then, I used the command 'zabbix_sender -z <Zabbix server IP address> -p <Zabbix server port> -s "Host name" -k key -o "data value."' to understand the error from the previous command, and I encountered an issue. My Zabbix server's configuration listens on port 10050 and all IP addresses, but I received the error

zabbix_sender [14064]: Warning: incorrect answer from "Zabbix server's IP": []'

zabbix_sender -z zabbixIP -p 10050 -s hostname -k wb.starttime -o "30/10/2023 02:15" -vv
