zabbix_map – Create/update/delete Zabbix maps¶
New in version 2.8.
Synopsis¶
This module allows you to create, modify and delete Zabbix map entries, using Graphviz binaries and text description written in DOT language. Nodes of the graph will become map elements and edges will become links between map elements. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_(graph_description_language) and https://www.graphviz.org/ for details. Inspired by http://blog.zabbix.com/maps-for-the-lazy/.
The following extra node attributes are supported:
zbx_hostcontains name of the host in Zabbix. Use this if desired type of map element ishost.zbx_groupcontains name of the host group in Zabbix. Use this if desired type of map element ishost group.zbx_mapcontains name of the map in Zabbix. Use this if desired type of map element ismap.zbx_labelcontains label of map element.zbx_imagecontains name of the image used to display the element in default state.zbx_image_disabledcontains name of the image used to display disabled map element.zbx_image_maintenancecontains name of the image used to display map element in maintenance.zbx_image_problemcontains name of the image used to display map element with problems.zbx_urlcontains map element URL inname:urlformat. More than one URL could be specified by adding a postfix (e.g.,zbx_url1,zbx_url2).The following extra link attributes are supported:
zbx_draw_stylecontains link line draw style. Possible values:line,bold,dotted,dashed.zbx_triggercontains name of the trigger used as a link indicator inhost_name:trigger_nameformat. More than one trigger could be specified by adding a postfix (e.g.,zbx_trigger1,zbx_trigger2).zbx_trigger_colorcontains indicator color specified either as CSS3 name or as a hexadecimal code starting with#.zbx_trigger_draw_stylecontains indicator draw style. Possible values are the same as forzbx_draw_style.

no_log. See this FAQ for more information.
Examples¶
###
### Example inventory:
# [web]
# web[01:03].example.com ansible_host=127.0.0.1
# [db]
# db.example.com ansible_host=127.0.0.1
# [backup]
# backup.example.com ansible_host=127.0.0.1
###
### Each inventory host is present in Zabbix with a matching name.

### Contents of 'map.j2':
# digraph G {
# graph [layout=dot splines=false overlap=scale]
# INTERNET [zbx_url="Google:https://google.com" zbx_image="Cloud_(96)"]
# {% for web_host in groups.web %}
# {% set web_loop = loop %}
# web{{ '%03d' % web_loop.index }} [zbx_host="{{ web_host }}"]
# INTERNET -> web{{ '%03d' % web_loop.index }} [zbx_trigger="{{ web_host }}:Zabbix agent on {HOST.NAME} is unreachable for 5 minutes"]
# {% for db_host in groups.db %}
