notify_pushbullet.py

Zabbix alert script to send notifications using Pushbullet

Requirements

pip install pushbullet.py

Usage

usage: notify_pushbullet.py [-h] "AccessToken(|DeviceName)" "Subject" "Message"

Send Zabbix notification to Pushbullet enabled devices.

positional arguments:
  AccessToken(|DeviceName)
                        Pushbullet Access Token that and optional DeviceName
                        if targetting a specific device.
  Subject               Subject you want to push to the device(s).
  Message               Message you want to push to the device(s).

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

Getting started

You first need to register for an account at Pushbullet and download/install the clients for your devices (Android/iOS/Windows...). You will then able to retrieve your AccessToken that you will need to provide in your zabbix user media configuration.

Copy the notify_pushbullet.py script to your Zabbix alert scripts directory. Usually this is /usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts but configuration can differs depending on how you installed Zabbix. In doubt, check your zabbix_server.conf.

Configure the media type

Go to your Zabbix Administration / Media types screen and add a new media. Specify the name of the script in script name and check that the parameters are correct.

Configure the user media

You will need then to add the media to your users. For this just edit an user and add a media selecting the one you just created before. Specify the Access Token in the Send to field.

If you have multiple devices on your Pushbullet account and want to target only one device, you can specify the device name in the Send to field separated from Access Token with a | .

And voila, you're ready to use Pushbullet notifications!
