The Zabbix data collector is a script that is designed to collect data directly from the Zabbix database and output the data for processing in csv format.

At the start of the script the database connection information is held. This will need to be changed to match your installation details. An example of this is:

username=zabbixdatabase=zabbixpassword=mypasswordhostname=10.10.0.1

Its usage is as follows:

./zabbix_data_collector.sh <Hostname> <Metric> <Start_time_unix_time> <end_time_unix_time>

An example of this is:

./zabbix_data_collector.sh testnode1 power 1439337600 1439373722

The script ./get_time_stamp.sh can be used to find the current unix time as an aid. Otherwise online tools such asunixtimestamp.com may be used instead.

The ./merge.sh script can be used to aggregate together several metrics files together into a single file called all.csv.

The output of the script is a csv file with the following naming pattern, which records the input used to obtain the file:

<Hostname>_<Metric>_<Start_time_unix_time>_<end_time_unix_time>.csv

In the event the metric name is not found the script will output a list of possible metrics for the specified host in a file with the following name:

<Hostname>_items_list.csv
