Zabbup - Configuration backup utility for Zabbix

GitHub https://github.com/mjaepel/zabbup

Description

It backups the current Zabbix configuration like below. Primary goal was to diff various versions of templates in Git. But you could use it also as a general backup tool.

Features

  • Backups via Zabbix API configuration.export of
    • Hosts
    • Host groups
    • Templates
    • Template groups
    • Maps
    • Mediatypes
    • Images
  • Export to
    • Remote git repository
    • S3 compatible API
  • Encryption
    • optional with deterministic encryption results. WARNING: less secure!
      • With non-deterministic encryption the output files will change each time. This will create a lot of changes in backup storage (e.g. Git)
      • You have to decide what you want to protect against with encryption and whether the benefit of taking up less space overweighs the greater need for protection.

Installation

  • Download
  • Install Python requirements
