zabbix_maintenance – Create Zabbix maintenance windows¶
Requirements¶
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- python >= 2.6
- zabbix-api >= 0.5.4
Parameters¶
Notes¶
Note
- Useful for setting hosts in maintenance mode before big update, and removing maintenance window after update.
- Module creates maintenance window from now() to now() + minutes, so if Zabbix server’s time and host’s time are not synchronized, you will get strange results.
- Install required module with ‘pip install zabbix-api’ command.
- If you use login_password=zabbix, the word “zabbix” is replaced by “****” in all module output, because login_password uses no_log. See this FAQ for more information.
