Nice thing, but lot of issue to configure it
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Hi, I just download your script and install it on my zabbix linux server and I am able to get a user token from philips hue.
But after I setup the media type, what I need to do? Create an action? How and which informations I need to make my hue bulb to flash?
Also, is it possible to create a custom action depends of the host? So each host will have a light associated to it to create a much better experience?
Thanks in advance,
Hi @maxlehot1234 I believe you are correct. After setting up your items, triggers, and new mediatype w/ script, you'll need to create an action to send out the notification when the trigger fires off. See https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/4.0/manual/config/notifications/action
Be aware that I've only tested this on Zabbix 4.0, not sure what has changed in 5.0
I still use zabbix 4.x :)
Related the action, zabbix ask me to choose a message and everything. They are technically not needed since we simply a light right?
A mini-tutorial will be really appreciate if you have one that allow us to setup everything little bit easier ;)
Thanks for the reply
I think the action messages are stored in history so it may help to have them even if they aren't being sent out to the hue. Unfortunately I dont have access to the system i set this up for originally so no way for me to quicky test or look at previous configuration. 😞
Ok I will try to test few things on my end. Thanks again for your help.
So if I understand correctly, I can technically put anything in the action and "link it" to the message type. The message, text and everything will be use in the notification logs as example?
Anyway, I already receive IOS notifications and emails ;)
Used this as a great starting point to get some hue integration into zabbix.
