Extract Zabbix Alarm Data into a Custom Reporting Database

Zabbix Alarm Data Extraction

In routine monitoring, besides regular Zabbix operations, we often need to exchange data with other companies. Since many partners do not follow Zabbix's data schema, we must extract relevant alarm data from Zabbix's database and convert it to the required format.

Integration format:

1. Create Integration Database

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS `alarmreport`;
CREATE DATABASE alarmreport;
USE alarmreport;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `report`;
CREATE TABLE `report` (
  `reportid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `reportip` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  `reporttype` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  `alarmid` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `alarmname` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  `alarmlevel` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  `alarmstat` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  `alarmtime` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  `alarmcause` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  `sendstatus` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY(reportid)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `dictionary`;
CREATE TABLE `dictionary` (
  `alarmid` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `alarmname` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  `alarmcause` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY(alarmid)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

2. Create Trigger to Sync Zabbix Alarm Information in Real Time

DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS Ysten_afterinsert_on_event;
CREATE TRIGGER Ysten_afterinsert_on_event
AFTER INSERT ON zabbix.`events`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
        INSERT INTO alarmreport.report (
            alarmreport.report.reportip,
            alarmreport.report.reporttype,
            alarmreport.report.alarmid,
            alarmreport.report.alarmname,
            alarmreport.report.alarmlevel,
            alarmreport.report.alarmstat,
            alarmreport.report.alarmtime
        )
        SELECT
            zabbix.`hosts`.`host`,
            CONCAT('服务器'),
            zabbix.`triggers`.triggerid,
            zabbix.`triggers`.description,
            zabbix.`triggers`.priority,
            zabbix.`events`.`value`,
            FROM_UNIXTIME(zabbix.`events`.clock)
        FROM
            zabbix.`hosts`,
            zabbix.`triggers`,
            zabbix.`events`,
            zabbix.items,
            zabbix.functions,
            zabbix.groups,
            zabbix.hosts_groups
        WHERE
            zabbix.`hosts`.hostid = zabbix.hosts_groups.hostid
            AND zabbix.hosts_groups.groupid = zabbix.groups.groupid
            AND zabbix.`triggers`.triggerid = zabbix.`events`.objectid
            AND zabbix.`hosts`.hostid = zabbix.items.hostid
            AND zabbix.items.itemid = zabbix.functions.itemid
            AND zabbix.functions.triggerid = zabbix.`triggers`.triggerid
            AND zabbix.`events`.eventid = new.eventid;
END;

Now the alarm information is stored in real time within the alarmreport database.
