This is a simple project of making the Zabbix API available into Matrix.
For this the pyzabbix and the matrix-python-sdk are used.
The Matrix SDK wrapper script makes sending messages to a Matrix room easier. For example:
python3 matrix.py -c matrix_example.yaml Hello I am a test message
Sends a test message to the room configured in the matrix_example.yaml file.
While the pyzabbix itself is a wrapper, I wrote a wrapper for pyzabbix to make
the code for the bot itself easier. In the zabbix.py file all the
functions for retrieving the triggers and acknowledging them are defined.
The actual bot is defined in zabbix_bot.py. This bot listens for any message
beginning with !zabbix. Without any argument it lists the unacknowledged
triggers. !zabbix all list all triggers, acknowledged and unacknowledged.
!zabbix acked lists only the acknowledged triggers.
The format of each trigger line is:
{priority} {hostname} {description} {lastvalue} ({trigger-id})
This trigger-id can be used to acknowledge triggers by issuing:
!zabbix ack {trigger-id}
