Add tools in Zabbix

[nemke]

Hello
new to Zabbix, but on first look, it is great

I work with Mikrotik, and Cisco, and some linux
I need easy access to device over Putty and Winbox. So I can access device (host) on Map and/or Monitoring Tab. Need to login directly on device with aure and pass

Zabbix is install on VM, and I access it over Edge on Win11 PC, or Ubunu Desktop over Mozzila

Is it easy way to do this ?

Zabbix doesn’t “embed tools” directly, but you can add clickable entries in the Host menu (and they show up from Monitoring / Maps) by creating Global scripts of type URL. How to do it

1. Go to Alerts → Scripts (name can vary slightly by version).
2. Create script
   • Scope: Manual host action
   • Type: URL
   • Menu path: e.g. Tools/ (optional, just for grouping)
   • URL: use host macros like {HOST.CONN} / {HOST.IP} and (optionally) user macros.

Examples

• SSH (generic):
  • ssh://{HOST.CONN}
• SSH with a username (no password in the URL):
  • Define {$SSH_USER} at host/template level
  • ssh://{$SSH_USER}@{HOST.CONN}

Note: opening PuTTY/Winbox from the browser depends on your OS/browser protocol handler association (e.g., mapping ssh:// to PuTTY). That part is not controlled by Zabbix.

About “auto-login”


Putting credentials in a URL is not recommended (history/logs/leaks). If you want “click and connect”, use:

• SSH keys (for SSH), or
• saved sessions in PuTTY/Winbox, or
• a bastion/jump host approach.
