Using external script method on Zabbix, i made two scripts, getting values through Mikrotik API.
Mikrotik API(Python 3) is interactive. So I modified it to print the values I demand and then it disconnects automatically.
Files you need to copy to externalscripts path of zabbix server:
- bgp_peer_field.sh Calls the API and prints state or uptime of peer name.
- bgp_peer_names.sh Calls the API and prints peer names.
- apriros.py Is the Mikrotik API that is not interactive and can get the output you want.
Make sure that the files above are executable by zabbix user.
You should also import zbx_routeros_bgp.xml zabbix template on zabbix server.
Simple script test:
bgp_peer_filed.sh <RouterOS_USERNAME> <RouterOS_PASSWORD> <bgp_peer_name> <state/uptime>Zabbix Discovery Key:
bgp_peer_names.sh["{HOST.CONN}","{$ROUTEROS_USERNAME}","{$ROUTEROS_PASSWORD}"]
*You should define these macros: "{$ROUTEROS_USERNAME}" and "{$ROUTEROS_PASSWORD}"
The reason I created the bgp_peer_names.sh is so that zabbix can discover the peer names and create items for each peer name.
