Screen Creator

Below is an example of how you might use the screen_creator tool to create a screen that consists of multiple hosts and multiple graphs for each host. There is a config file for this script that sets the location of the zabbix_tool and screen_creator binaries. The script will fail if that config file does not exist.

CONFIG FILE

cat ~/.zabbix_tool.cfg

ZABBIX_TOOL=/usr/local/bin/zabbix_tool
SCREEN_CREATOR=/usr/local/bin/screen_creator

SCRIPT

#! /bin/sh

if [ -f ~/.zabbix_tool.cfg ]
  then
    source ~/.zabbix_tool.cfg
  else
    echo "No config file found at ~/.zabbix_tool.cfg!  Exiting..."
    exit 1
fi

#How many graphs across the page?
HSIZE=6

#Width and Height for each graph
GRAPHWIDTH=520
GRAPHHEIGHT=140

#What to name the Screen
SCREENNAME="My Screen Name"

#Name of the hostgroup to use to get hosts - graphs will be created for all hosts in this group
HOSTGROUP="My Hostgroup"

#List of Graphs to Use - The number of these must match the HSIZE variable above and you must also include a single line below in the loop for each GRAPH<NUM>  variable that you create here.
GRAPHONE="CPU Utilization %"
GRAPHTWO="CPU load"
GRAPHTHREE="VM CPU Usage"
GRAPHFOUR="Number of Processes"
GRAPHFIVE="Disk Read/Write Queue"
GRAPHSIX="Read/Write Bytes/sec"


#Delete the screen prior to re-creating it
${SCREEN_CREATOR} --delete "${SCREENNAME}"

#Loop to create the screen - be sure you have one line per GRAPH<NUM> variable set above and the HSIZE variable matches that total count
