TEMPer Zabbix

Zabbix template and script to monitor temperatures returned by a TEMPer usb stick. This could be useful to check datacenter temperature or as a remote thermometer plugged to a raspberry pi.

Requirement

• urwen's temper.py script : https://github.com/urwen/temper
• jq
• zabbix sender
• A working Zabbix client with a configured Zabbix agent.

Setup

On Zabbix server

• Import the template template_temper.xml on the server, then add it to the host equipped with the TEMPer usb device.

On Zabbix client

• Install the script

git clone https://github.com/ThibautPlg/TEMPer-Zabbix.git

mkdir -p /etc/zabbix/scripts

cp TEMPer-Zabbix/TEMPer_zabbix.sh /etc/zabbix/scripts/
chmod 750 /etc/zabbix/scripts/TEMPer_zabbix.sh
chgrp zabbix /etc/zabbix/scripts/TEMPer_zabbix.sh

• Customize TEMPer_zabbix.sh to match your environment if needed

vim /etc/zabbix/scripts/TEMPer_zabbix.sh

• Add a crontab entry (user zabbix or root required)
