Zabbix-Cachet

This is python script which provides 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.

Installation

Docker Installation

1. Create /etc/zabbix-cachet.yml file based config-example.yml.
2. Run Docker container

   docker run --name zabbix-cachet -v /etc/zabbix-cachet.yml:/config.yml qk4l/zabbix-cachet
   
3. Drink a cup of tea (optional)

Python package

1. Install python package via pip

   pip install zabbix-cachet
2. Rename config-example.yml to config.yml and fill a file with your settings.
3. Define CONFIG_FILE environment variable which point to your config.yml or change current work directory to folder with config
4. Launch zabbix-cachet

Apt (outdated release)

1. Add official Zabbix-Cachet PPA:

   add-apt-repository ppa:reg-tem4uk/zabbix-cachet
   apt-get update
2. Install the package: apt-get install zabbix-cachet
3. Configure it: nano /etc/zabbix-cachet.yml
4. Restart it: systemctl enable zabbix-cachet && systemctl restart zabbix-cachet

Configuration

Settings are storing in config.yml file which should be placed in script's working directory. If you want to use another path for config.yml use CONFIG_FILE environment variable.
