Zabbix API

This is a wrapper for the Zabix rest API. You can see the API endpoints here https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/api/reference/

Currently only the GET requests to get a list of hosts, host groups and problems are implemented.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'zabbix_api_gem'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install zabbix_api_gem

Usage

Before you start making the requests to API provide the client id and client secret and email/password using the configuration wrapping.

require 'zabbix_api_gem'

# use do block
Zabbix.configure do |config|
  config.endpoint = ENV["ZABBIX_API_HOST"]
  config.access_token = ENV["ZABBIX_API_KEY"]
end

# or configure with options hash
client = Zabbix.client({ logger: Logger.new(CLIENT_LOGGER) })

client = Zabbix.client
client.login

hostgroups = client.hostgroups
companies.each do |c|
  puts "#{c.name}"
end
