hygorfragas 5 Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 hello @@Luke thanks for your time I already looked at this link, but there is nothing I can use! can you answer me if emby works snmp? or which one? I wanted to collect notifications of new content that he sends and notify on zabbix. How does he send this notification to chrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37063 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 It's sent to chrome via web socket. I would check out the webhooks feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty87a 6 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) You need to create your own template and UserParameters. The Template is an xml file you import through the zabbix ui. The UserParameters are placed in the zabbix config folder - usually /etc/zabbix/zabbix-agentd.d Below are some very basic userparameters I used to use to pull the following into zabbix: - Number of Items Playing - Number of Items Transcoding - Number of Items Direct Playing - Current Emby Version - Available Upstream Emby Version For these to work you need to pass the Emby API key in the zabbix item - for example, if your API key was 12345 the zabbix item would like something like: emby.nowplaying[12345] Also - these are based on having JQ installed (this can be done via apt on debian systems). UserParameter=emby.nowplaying[*],curl 2>/dev/null -X get "http://127.0.0.1:8096/emby/Sessions?api_key=$1" -H "accept:application/json" | jq -r '.[]' | cat | grep -i playmethod | wc -l UserParameter=emby.transcode[*], curl 2>/dev/null -X get "http://127.0.0.1:8096/emby/Sessions?api_key=$1" -H "accept:application/json" | jq -r '.[]' | cat | grep -i playmethod | grep Direct | wc -l UserParameter=emby.direct[*], curl 2>/dev/null -X get "http://127.0.0.1:8096/emby/Sessions?api_key=$1" -H "accept:application/json" | jq -r '.[]' | cat | grep -i playmethod | grep Direct | wc -l UserParameter=emby.version[*], curl 2>/dev/null -X get "http://127.0.0.1:8096/emby/System/Info?api_key=$1" -H "accept:application/json" |jq -r '.' | cat | grep -i version | sed 's/[^0-9.]//g' UserParameter=emby.update[*], curl 2>/dev/null -X get "http://127.0.0.1:8096/emby/System/Info?api_key=$1" -H "accept:application/json" | jq . | grep -i hasupdateavailable | sed -e 's/false/0/' | sed -e 's/true/1/' | sed 's/[^0-9.]//g' The above are very crude curl manipulations, i know for a fact theres nicer ways to do it and I would recommend writing something using python requests instead, but hopefully this givesa you a jumping off point!

matty87a 6 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 @@hygorfragas The template is in XML format, but you need to set up the userparameters on the host running the zabbix agent. It might be worth running through the docs first to get an understanding of how the agent works: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/manual/config/items/userparameters Then what I've wrote above will probably be a bit clearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francescoc 4 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I don't know if this is still useful but for posterity, here is my emby.conf: UserParameter=emby.sessions[*],curl -s "http://[::1]:8096/emby/Sessions?api_key=<api key>" -H "accept:application/json" | jq -r '[.[].PlayState | select(.PlayMethod == "$1")] | length' UserParameter=emby.version,curl -s "http://[::1]:8096/emby/System/Info?api_key=<api key>" -H "accept:application/json" | jq -r '.Version' UserParameter=emby.update,curl -s "http://[::1]:8096/emby/System/Info?api_key=<api key>" -H "accept:application/json" | jq -r '.HasUpdateAvailable' UserParameter=emby.ping,curl -sX "POST" "http://[::1]:8096/emby/System/Ping" -d "" There are multiple ways to insert the api key, I prefer to just hardcode it. Attached is also the template. It simply provides status checking, update and version, and session breakdown by type + total streams. As long as the emby api provides it, it is very simple to add more stuff to Zabbix. template_app_emby.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycedk 379 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Thank you for this Just trying to get this to work on windows. I have installed curl on windows I have installed jq on windows And that works, the only thing I cant get to work is UserParameter=emby.sessions[*],curl -s "http://[::1]:8096/emby/Sessions?api_key=<api key>" -H "accept:application/json" | jq -r '[.[].PlayState | select(.PlayMethod == "$1")] | length' Zabbix error. Value of type "string" is not suitable for value type "Numeric (float)". Value "jq: error: DirectPlay/0 is not defined at <top-level>, line 1: [.[].PlayState | select(.PlayMethod == DirectPlay)] | length jq: 1 compile error" Tbh I have no idea on how to correct this error. So that i works with windows 10. Edited September 26, 2020 by jaycedk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
