This script is to create a xml import file from a csv file. We use 2 csv file for this.
- First is the OID csv file. This OID file will contain all the range of OIDs which can be configured on the device. OID CSV will be similar to the CSV sample given below.
- Information (Name) configured in those OIDs above, with index. This file contains all the configuration information done on the device. Will give the index of the configured variable.
CSV format as below
Below is the OID csv file. (We will called it OID CSV File)
module_name |oid_name |oid |datatype |start |end |description
-----------------|-----------|---------------------|----------|-------|-----|----------------
voip_destination |status |1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.18.0 |string |0 |1000 |some description
voip_destination |flags |1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.18.1 |string |0 |1000 |some description
voip_destination |type |1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.18.2 |string |0 |1000 |some description
Here is the sample csv output for the above file.
module_name,oid_name,oid,datatype,start,end,description
voip_destination,status,1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.18.0,string,0,1000,some description
voip_destination,flags,1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.18.1,string,0,1000,some description
voip_destination,type,1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.18.2,string,0,1000,some description
Below is name (configured) oid information, in the OIDs above. (We will called it NAME CSV File).
We use the name_table.module-name below to join with the table above with oid_table.module_name.
module_name |index |name
-----------------|----------|---------
voip_destination |0 |test_data_44test
linkset |1 |test_data_44tes
ip |0 |test_datatest
Here is the sample csv output for the above file.
module_name,TEST_DATAdex,TEST_DATAmTEST
Linkset,0,TEST_DATA_44TEST
Linkset,1,TEST_DATA_44TEST
IP,0,TEST_DATATEST
IP,1,TEST_DATAlTEST
IP,2,TEST_DATAteTEST
USAGE
usage: zabbix_items_from_csv.py [-h] -o CSV_OID -c CSV_NAME -n HOST_NAME -g
HOST_GROUP -i HOST_INTERFACE -a
HOST_APPLICATION [-y] [-f]
This script is to Generate xml import file for Zabbix from CSV files.We need
two CSV files.1. OID file, gives all the OIDs in the device.2. Name file,
gives all names configured for the above OIDs in the Device.
Example : python -o oid_list_with_range_processed.csv -c oid_names_configured.csv -n
GGSN-1-LONDON -g GGSN-GROUP -i 127.0.0.1 -a GGSN-APP-OIDS -y
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o CSV_OID, --csv-oid CSV_OID
OID file, Gives all OIDs on the device
-c CSV_NAME, --csv-name CSV_NAME
Name file, gives all names configured for the above
OIDs in the Device.
-n HOST_NAME, --host-name HOST_NAME
Host name as given in Zabbix server.
-g HOST_GROUP, --host-group HOST_GROUP
Host Group which the host belongs to, as in Zabbix
server.
-i HOST_INTERFACE, --host-interface HOST_INTERFACE
SNMP Interface configured on Zabbix server. (Assuming
Single Interface in Configured)
-a HOST_APPLICATION, --host-application HOST_APPLICATION
Application Name in the Zabbix Server. (To organize
all items being imported)
-y, --only-name Create xml items which are present in the name file.
i.e create items which are configured in the device
already, Rest of the OIDs are Ignored. [Default :
False]
-f, --include-first-line
Include First line (Header) in the CSV file input,
[Default : False]
