Zabbix-Cachet

This is python script which provide synchronisation between Zabbix IT Services and Cachet

Description

The idea of Zabbix-Cachet is providing the easiest way to export Zabbix terms to Cachet. With this script you can maintain Cachet though Zabbix.

Zabbix-Cachet reads pre-configured Zabbix IT Services and automatically creates Cachet components. After that Zabbix-Cachet periodically checks Zabbix triggers (that linked to you IT Services) and manipulate with Cachet incidents and Component statuses based on triggers.

Zabbix-Cachet communicate with Zabbix and Cachet via API interface. To make it works you need a zabbix user with sufficient permissions to read triggers, items of services that is exported to Cachet and Cachet`s API key.

Features

• Automatically creates Cachet Components and Components group
• Automatically creates Cachet Incidents and update them with acknowledgement messages
• Allow to specify root IT service where Zabbix-Cachet will work

Example

Zabbix IT Services.

• Cachet - root_service for zabbix-cachet script.
• Bitbucket, Network Connectivity - parent services. They will be Components Groups in Cachet.
• GIT https, GIT ssh - Components in Cachet. Do not forget to set Zabbix trigger to this group.
