zabbix-dynamic-pdf-report

zabbix-dynamic-pdf-report module allow us to generate pdf reports. Once implemented we have options to generate reports for ‘Host’, ‘Host Group’ on time range of ‘Hour’, ‘Day’, ‘Week’, ‘Month’, ‘Year’. We can retrieve old report from ‘Old Reports’ section.

Implementation Dependencies

• php5-curl
• php5-json

sudo apt-get install php5-curl php5-json

Clone the git repo that contain the module

cd /opt/

git clone https://github.com/SandipSingh14/Zabbix_

Configure zabbix-dynamic-pdf-report according to zabbix-server

vim Zabbix_/zabbix-dynamic-pdf-report/config.inc.php

<?php
//CONFIGURABLE
# zabbix server info(user must have API access)
$z_server       = 'http://zabbix.example.com/';
$z_user      = 'admin';
$z_pass         = 'zabbix';
# Temporary directory for storing pdf data and graphs - must exist 
$z_tmp_path    = './tmp';
# Directory for storing PDF reports
$pdf_report_dir    = './report';
# Root URL to reports
$pdf_report_url    = "./report";
# paper settings
$paper_format    = 'A4'; // formats supported: 4A0, 2A0, A0 -> A10, B0   -> B10, C0 -> C10, RA0 -> RA4, SRA0 -> SRA4, LETTER, LEGAL, EXECUTIVE, FOLIO
$paper_orientation = 'portrait'; // formats supported: portrait / landscape
# time zone - see http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
$timezone    = 'Asia/Calcutta';
# Logo used in PDF - may be empty
# TODO: Specify image size!
$pdf_logo    = './images/zabbix.png';
$company_name   = 'Zabbix';
//DO NOT CHANGE BELOW THIS LINE
$z_tmp_cookies     = "/tmp/";
$z_url_index     = $z_server ."index.php";
$z_url_graph    = $z_server ."chart2.php";
$z_url_api    = $z_server ."api_jsonrpc.php";
$z_login_data    = "name=" .$z_user ."&password=" .$z_pass ."&autologin=1&enter=Sign+in";
?>

Change directory and create directory inside zabbix-dynamic-pdf-report

cd Zabbix_/zabbix-dynamic-pdf-report

mkdir tmp report
