Zabbix-Cachet

This is python script which provide synchronisation between Zabbix IT Services and Cachet

Description

The idea of Zabbix-Cachet is providing the easiest way to export Zabbix terms to Cachet. With this script you can maintain Cachet though Zabbix.

Zabbix-Cachet reads pre-configured Zabbix IT Services and automatically creates Cachet components. After that Zabbix-Cachet periodically checks Zabbix triggers (that linked to you IT Services) and manipulate with Cachet incidents and Component statuses based on triggers.

Zabbix-Cachet communicate with Zabbix and Cachet via API interface. To make it works you need a zabbix user with sufficient permissions to read triggers, items of services that is exported to Cachet and Cachet`s API key.

Features

  • Automatically creates Cachet Components and Components group
  • Automatically creates Cachet Incidents and update them with acknowledgement messages
  • Allow to specify root IT service where Zabbix-Cachet will work
