MoZBX - A Mobile Zabbix Client

[Mojah]

Hi,

I've developed a Mobile Zabbix client that uses the Zabbix API. It allows you to connect to your own Zabbix from any mobile device, and see the current status of your hosts/hostgroups, triggers, graphs, ...

I've placed it here: http://www.mozbx.net/

It's available as a hosted solution (you fill in your Zabbix URL, (read-only) username & password), or as a downloadable source code from GitHub to place on your own servers.

Screenshots, demo & FAQ are on the site.

I appreciate any feedback!

I've tried it out and it's exactly what I've been looking for. One question though, and I think this is more a Zabbix/API issue than MoZBX.
The Active Triggers screen shows that I have 30 active triggers. This seems to include recently active triggers - i.e ones that are now flashing OK in the Triggers page in the main UI. Is there a way to exclude these and only show triggers which are still in the problem state? The same might go for hosts in maintenance.

Fantastic work though!

Hi Rob,

No, it's something I've been trying to debug as well. The only way I could retrieve the list of "active" triggers, was if I included those recently activated as well.

I'll pick this up later in some bugreport, to see if it's intended behavior or not.

I'm meaning to add favorite graphs/screens as soon as the API supports it as well.

Try adding this:

 "filter" => array("value" => 1),
 "sortorder" => "DESC",
 "sortfield" => "lastchange"

Seems to work for me AND it sorts the table just like the web interface (newest to oldest)

Thanx Mojah! Your demo really looks great!

But... when use our own API url I should be able to see our triggers and hosts, but while the login succeeds I can't see any host "Sorry, you don't have access to any groups."

Thanks, I'll have to try that.

Does the zabbix user with which you login, have API Access enabled?
See more requirements here; http://www.mozbx.net/faq-system-requirements.html

@Danrog: I've implemented it like you mentioned, will be testing it over the next few days.

I love it!

My first request for update is the ability to acknowledge events. This is the one thing which would make MoZBX into our ideal mobile Zabbix platform.

Does the API even support that yet?

On my test server, it works like a dream.

On my production server something goes very wrong. It seems like it is not processing the PHP correctly. (see below)

The only difference between the two that I can see is my test server is running php ver 3.1 and the production is 3.3.

any suggestions?

Another good way would be to make a phpinfo.php file in your document root and compare the output

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Make sure its readable by the web server and then point your browser to that file:

http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php

See what's different and you'll be off to a good start. The fact that your test and production environments differ is not encouraging. How do you know what you're testing will work if the environments aren't as identical as possible?

i'm trying to get this working, even though the user I login with has API access i'm still not seeing any hosts.

Edit: NM, forgot to give API Access to the hosts.

Right off the bat i'm having issues. This doesn't support distributed monitoring So I can only see hosts for one node. not all nodes. Also when I click on a host there is nothing there.. just a blank page. Great start though.

Seems like PHP isn't being parsed, you sure your setup is OK?

Any plans to add support for distributed monitoring?

I had this exact same problem. Try adding:

php_value short_open_tag 1

to your web server config or .htaccess in this dir. Short tags have been deprecated in later php version.
