Item Show ip address

[sby]

Hi,

I am new with items and triggers.
I always use zabbix default now i want to receive more info from servers.

How can i create a item that i receive the ip's from the servers in zabbix.
I try to understand how it works i use zabbix with zabbix agents.

I hope someone want to help me with the right info.

Ok, so first of all you need to read some good stuff about low-level discovery and how this awesome thing works (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...evel_discovery ) , but in this case I would suggest to you use it with {#IFNAME} filter. In my case, for example, I would like to use filter with regexp:

^enp0s([0-9]|[0-9][0-9])$

, but it is up to you. This is for Linux on VirtualBox. I just wanted to get rid of loopback NIC
Second is to create an Item prototype with key like

get.ip.nic[{#IFNAME}]

And last, but not least - you need to configure your agent to work with UserParametrs (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...userparameters) and enable UnsafeUserParameters. Then create a UserParameter in config file

UserParameter=get.ip.nic[*],/sbin/ifconfig $1  | egrep 'inet\W' | awk '{print $$2}'

, restart agent and voila!

First thing, I suggest you to make such discoveries and items on Template level. In the future it will be easier to maintain.

Second, if you just have opened the manual which I've pasted in previous message, then you would see what you should put in the Discovery Rule (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ork_interfaces). There is a real-life scenario based on vfs.fs.discovery , but you shoudl use net.if.discovery to get the values. For example, just try to perform

zabbix_get -s <host> -k net.if.discovery

and you will understand which values you will receive.

Third, you will be forced to create item prototype which will be based on the command I've provided in previous message.

Forth, if you still in trouble with configuring zabbix - you can ask for a help from professionals https://www.zabbix.com/services

And the last thing, if you are trying to be anonymous - make sure you are censored everything, otherwise it looks a little bit funny \

Regards,
Alex!

Hi Alex,

I have now this:
[root@localhost ~]# zabbix_get -s ssc.domein -k net.if.discovery
{"data":[{"{#IFNAME}":"lo"},{"{#IFNAME}":"eth0"}]}

is #IFNAME then macro eth0

Alex,

In the log from the zabbix server i see the follow.

became not supported: Received value [addr:192.168.1.100] is not suitable for value type [Numeric (unsigned)] and data type [Decimal]

What is wrong in zabbix.

[allexpetrov]

[Numeric (unsigned)] and data type [Decimal] because you are receiving strings , not the numeric values. Use Character type

Regards,
Alex!
