Hi all

[System status scoreboard]


Kudos for the detailed explanation. I think it's doable.

So I guess what I'm looking for, is just something like "please give me a
list of hosts in hostgroups x,y with severity > n" and then feed that to a
service (formerly IT service). I've worked with zabbix for a while now, but
mostly for testing and with a small initial setup of 65ish servers and
10ish switches/upses etc.


So - please help if you have an idea or have done something similar.


We use the webpages for the monitoring, but I guess you could create a
status screen in Zabbix with just the data you are looking for. Should be
fairly straight forward. Then, on the PI, you lookup this page (each status
screen has an unique url) and extract the data.
Takes some scripting, but should be doable, and it's a lot easier then
reading the DB directly; ).

A nice extra; you have a graphical verification wether the PI is showing
the correct data; just open the URL in a webbrowser.
