go-zabbix

Go bindings for the Zabbix API

Overview

This project provides bindings to interoperate between programs written in Go language and the Zabbix monitoring API.

A number of Zabbix API bindings already exist for Go with varying levels of maturity. This project aims to provide an alternative implementation which is stable, fast, and allows for loose typing (using types such asinterface{} or map[string]interface{}) as well as strong types (such as Host or Event).

The package aims to have comprehensive coverage of Zabbix API methods from v1.8 through to v3.0 without introducing limitations to the native API methods.

Getting started

package main

import (
	"crypto/tls"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/cavaliercoder/go-zabbix"
)

func main() {
	// Default approach - without session caching
	session, err := zabbix.NewSession("http://zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php", "Admin", "zabbix")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	version, err := session.GetVersion()

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Connected to Zabbix API v%s", version)

	// Use session builder with caching.
	// You can use own cache by implementing SessionAbstractCache interface
	// Optionally an http.Client can be passed to the builder, allowing to skip TLS verification,
	// pass proxy settings, etc.

	client := &http.Client{
		Transport: &http.Transport{
			TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{
				InsecureSkipVerify: true
			}
		}
	}

	cache := zabbix.NewSessionFileCache().SetFilePath("./zabbix_session")
	session, err := zabbix.CreateClient("http://zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php").
		WithCache(cache).
		WithHTTPClient(client).
		WithCredentials("Admin", "zabbix").
		Connect()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("%v\n", err)
	}

	version, err := session.GetVersion()

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("%v\n", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Connected to Zabbix API v%s", version)
}
