Netbox Zabbix

A plugin to sync NetBox to Zabbix.

Features

• Automatically update/delete zabbix with device information

Installation

1. Install the plugin within your environment (pip install netbox-zabbix)
2. Create required configurations within NetBox:
   • username: Zabbix username
   • password: Zabbix password
   • tags: A list of tags to filter on for determining if the signal should fire. Optional
   • snmp: dictionary with various SNMP settings. Optional
   • group: Default host group. Optional
3. Optionally, configure additional settings using configuration contexts with the root dictionary name of "zabbix":
   • Dictionary with the same settings available within the configuration.
4. Create a custom field to hold the zabbix host id:
   • Name: zabbix_hostid
   • Content type: Device
   • Label: Zabbix Host ID
   • Type: Integer
   • Required: False
   • UI visibility: readonly
5. Optionally, create a custom field to hold the zabbix host group id, if not using the default set group or configuration contexts
   • Name: zabbix_group
   • Content type: Device Type
   • Label: Zabbix Group
   • Type: Integer
   • Required: False
   • UI visibility:read/write

SNMP Configuration

The SNMP configuration is quite robust and for pushing to Zabbix.

The SNMP dictionary can include any of the following:

{
    'version': '2c',  # 1, 2c, 3
    'community': None,
    'context': None,
    'username': None,
    'level': None,  # None, noAuthNoPriv, authNoPriv, authPriv
    'auth_protocol': None,  # None, MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512
    'auth_passphrase': None,
    'priv_protocol': None,  # None, DES, AES128, AES192, AES256, AES192C, AES256C
    'priv_passphrase': None,
}

Config Contexts

Configuration Zabbix settings using Config Contexts within NetBox is available as well, which provide a much more robust configuration platform. Any options from the settings can be used within the configuration context.

Confiuration context could look like:

{
    'snmp': { 'community': 'public'},
    'tags': ['zabbix']
}

Future

• Separate model for storing Zabbix information (instead of custom field)
• Separate model for storing configuration information (Remove config contexts, configuration parameters)
