zabbix input plugin

[ghost]

It would be very useful to have an input plugin for Zabbix directly in Telegraf.

link to official docs of Zabbix API -> https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/api

At the moment for Zabbix2Influx integration there are some custom solutions mentioned here: https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/influxdb

Any updates on this request?

An input plugin to get what?

[ghost]

zabbix input plugin would get metrics via api from zabbix. in zabbix you have metrics metadata in items table and effective monitoring data in history tables.

[adrianlzt]

Interesting.

Another, more complex, way could be to use the postgres input plugin and create the appropriate query.

[ghost]

Yes, this could be a solution. But you are supposing that postgres is the backend DB; in effect you can choose mysql or elasticsearch too.

With a telegraf input plugin directly to zabbix api you are decoupling the tecnologies

Another source of data to be queried: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/4.0/manual/appendix/items/remote_stats

Hello Adrian, thanks for answering. Please can you tell me where can I find those branch? I am looking for it but I can´t find.

Sorry for wasting your time. I am new on this.

Regards!

Output plugin and aggregator are not yet merged upstream. You have to compile this branch to be able to use it.

Hi,

I have not seen many updates on this feature request or folks showing much interest in it. I am also not clear on what metrics would be important to end-users to justify a new plugin. While there does appear to be an API endpoint with some remote metrics, which of these are actually interesting or important?

Thanks!
