PoshBot.ZabbixPS

This plugin for PoshBot provides functions to interact with Zabbix via ChatOps (Slack, Teams, etc)

Key functions included in this plugin include

• Getting Zabbix Problems
• Getting Zabbix Maintenace
• Acknowledging Zabbix Events

Configuration

In order to use this plugin you must have the following:

• Working setup of PoshBot
• A zabbix Service account (minimum below)
  • 'Zabbix User' is enough for acknowledging
  • 'Read' to the Host Groups you want it to read problems
• Configure a secret under PluginConfiguration for PoshBot as a PSCredential (example below)
• Uses the ZabbixPS module for all Zabbix calls

PluginConfiguration

The Zabbix API requires that you initally authenticate before receiving a Token for your session. As a result you need to store (or generate at runtime) the Service account credentials in the PoshBot configuration (as ZabbixAPI). Additionally you will want to include a configuration variable for your Zabbix InstanceData. There is already a Guide on this in the poshbot repo, but for those unfamiliar the final result should look like this:

Note: ZabbixAPI is the variable used in functions to autoload credentials, and InstanceData is a hashtable of the friendly name and URI to your specific instance. If you have more than one instance you may add addition key/value pairs to the hashtable
