Zabbix Sender output for Telegraf

Usage

Installation

Just clone this repo somewhere, for example, in /opt/. This script requires Python 3 (tested with 3.6) and py-zabbix. Currently, the script depends on specific patch which is in an open Pull Request in upstream so you have to use bundled version:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Telegraf Configuration

Add to Telegraf config:

[[outputs.exec]]
    command = ['/path/to/telegraf-zabbix-sender/telegraf-zabbix-sender']
    data_format = 'json'
    timeout = '20s'

    [outputs.exec.tagpass]
        zabbix_key = ['*']

Hint: You can replace ['/path/to/telegraf-zabbix-sender/telegraf-zabbix-sender'] with ['systemd-cat', '/path/to/telegraf-zabbix-sender/telegraf-zabbix-sender'] if you want to always see script's stdout and stderr in journal logs.

Zabbix Configuration

Configure Zabbix trapper item according to the documentation.

Using

Only measurements with zabbix_key tag are processed. Value of this tag is used as an item key. Other tags and measurement name are ignored.
Measurements should have only one value field (with any key). If there are multiple of them, random one will be used as a value. You should use Unpivot Processor to split multi field series into single valued metrics to avoid undefined results.
