Zabbix Discovery JSON Formatting

by

I trying to create a discovery rule to monitor a enterprise application, and my script return the follow JSON.

{
    "data": [{
            "{#NODENAME}": "node1",
            "{#NODEINTERFACE}": ["eth0", "eth1"]
        },
        {
            "{#NODENAME}": "node2",
            "{#NODEINTERFACE}": ["eth2", "eth3"]
        }
    ]
}

On Zabbix Interface i created the discovery with the follow parameters:

Name:: Discovery nodes and interfaces

Type: Zabbix agent

Key app.discovery

And in “Filters” TAB:

Type of calculation: And/Or

The expected behavior on Zabbix is to create the followings keys:

Format of keys:

app.getinfo["{#NODENAME}","{#NODEINTERFACE}]

That is, for each NODENAME create N keys, one for each interface

Discovery keys:

app.getInfo["node1","eth0"]
app.getInfo["node1","eth1"]

app.getInfo["node2","eth2"]
app.getInfo["node2","eth3"]

The behavior received its:

If Type of calculation is And/Or, Zabbix not create the items

And if Type of calculation is Or, Zabbix create one item for each NODENAME, and ignore/not recognize the NODEINTERFACE

My doubt is, How to create an discovery rule, For each NODENAME, create N items with the NODEINTERFACE information

Answer

First, the prototype key is likely wrong – quotes are not closed in app.getinfo["{#NODENAME}","{#NODEINTERFACE}].

Second, your JSON should be like this:

{
    "data": [
    {
        "{#NODENAME}": "node1",
        "{#NODEINTERFACE}": "eth0"
    },
    {
        "{#NODENAME}": "node1",
        "{#NODEINTERFACE}": "eth1"
    },
    {
        "{#NODENAME}": "node2",
        "{#NODEINTERFACE}": "eth2"
    }
    {
        "{#NODENAME}": "node2",
        "{#NODEINTERFACE}": "eth3"
    }
]
}

Note how each entry must hold a single set of values you want to be represented in the created entities.
