Error when Create file with map configuration

[tuananh9496]

Hi Prototype-X,
I am new to use Zabbix. I install it on VMware Workstation (OS: CentOS 7).
I installed it as follows:

1. Create map in zabbix with two hosts and one link:

2. Save map
3. Scan map with the following command:
   python3.6 weathermap.py -s newmap -z http://20.0.0.120/zabbix -l admin -p zabbix

and I have an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "weathermap.py", line 121, in
main()
File "weathermap.py", line 118, in main
WeathermapCLI()
File "weathermap.py", line 55, in init
self._map_scan()
File "weathermap.py", line 69, in _map_scan
scan_map.create()
File "/opt/Zabbix-Network-Weathermap/config.py", line 252, in create
nodename = self.dict_callint(node['elementtype'])
KeyError: 'elements'

Can you help me solve this problem? Sorry about my English.
Thank you!

Hi,
What version of zabbix are you using?

[tuananh9496]

Hi, I use Zabbix 3.0.14.

[Prototype-X]

Ok, the last version 1.1.5 support Zabbix 3.4 - only, use previous version 1.1.3

[tuananh9496]

I installed Zabbix 1.1.3 and it works. Thank you.
But I have another question. What does "hostname", "itemin" and "itemout" mean?
This is my map:

and this is my config file:

Is that right?

[Prototype-X]

For example:
hostname - zabbix -> configuration -> hosts -> Zabbix server -> Host name
itemin/itemout - traffic counters zabbix -> configuration -> hosts -> Zabbix server -> items -> column key -> net.if.in[eth0] and net.if.out[eth0]
Yes, that right.

[tuananh9496]

Thank you. I understood.
I drew this map manually. Is there a way to draw network maps automatically with zabbix?

Hi, +1 to the question of @tuananh9496
Problem: if we have 50+ links, it's obvious that we need something, that will get a values of "hostname:", "itemin:", "itemout:" and "bandwidth:" from zabbix, because to add it into yaml config manually after changes in map.. it's a hell )

How to implement: we can use the fields "Label" of Map elements, and add there required info.
So the Host, IN, OUT, Link in the values of Label can be used as a marker for parser.
Example:

Link: {sw20v:net.if.speed[ifHighSpeed.10202].last(0)}
IN: {sw20v:net.if.in[ifHCInOctets.10202].last(0)}
OUT: {sw20v-13e0:net.if.out[ifHCOutOctets.10202].last(0)}

I think it's should be easy to parse such data, and we have all required information for yaml!
Also there can be add mapping with multiplier (baseNmult where base=2.5, N=bandwidth in Gbps, mult=0.5) like:

• 1 Gbps -> Width: 2.5x1x0.5 (1.25), Bandwidth: 1000
• 2 Gbps -> Width: 2.5, Bandwidth: 2000
• 3 Gbps -> Width: 3.75, Bandwidth: 2000
• ...
• 10 Gbps -> Width: 12.5, Bandwidth: 10000

For 40 and 100 Gbps links custom multiplier can be used.

Weather map will still looks good:

@Prototype-X how do you think?
