Zabbix registration example (based on v2 API/DSL)

The example is created to demonstrate how Mistral can be used to interact with third party service's API through HTTP requests. This specific example works with Zabbix monitoring service. Mistral uses auth information provided by the user to retrieve Zabbix auth token. Then it creates host group (in terms of Zabbix), host with given machine IP and sets simple check item - ping machine every 5 seconds.

How to run

1. Load workbook from zabbix_machine_registration.yaml:

   mistral workbook-create zabbix_machine_registration.yaml

2. Create input.json file containing workflow input:

   {
     "machine_ip": [your machine IP],
     "machine_port": [your machine port],
     "zabbix_host": [Zabbix host],
     "zabbix_username": [Zabbix username],
     "zabbix_password": [Zabbix password],
   }

3. Run the execution:

   mistral execution-create zabbix.register_in_zabbix input.json

4. Using execution id from the previous step wait for completion (workflow SUCCESS state):

   mistral execution-get <execution_id>

5. Check your Zabbix host group. You will see new host group, one host in it and one simple check item.
