1 root 1.1 NAME
2     AnyEvent::ZabbixSender - simple and efficient zabbix data submission
3    
4     SYNOPSIS
5     use AnyEvent::ZabbixSender;
6    
7     DESCRIPTION
8     This module is an AnyEvent user, you need to make sure that you use and
9     run a supported event loop.
10    
11     I't implements the zabbix version 2.0-3.4 protocol for item data
12     submission.
13    
14     METHODS
15     $zbx = new AnyEvent::ZabbixSender [key => value...]
16     Creates a (virtual) connection to a zabbix server. Since each
17     submission requires a new TCP connection, creating the connection
18     object does not actually contact the server.
19    
20     The connection object will linger in the destructor until all data
21     has been submitted or thrown away.
22    
23     You can specify various configuration parameters. The term @items
24     refers to an array with "[key, value, clock]" array-refs.
25    
26     server => "$hostname:$port" (default: "localhost:10051")
27     The zabbix server to connect to.
28    
29     host => $name (default: local nodename)
30     The submission host, the "technical" name from tghe zabbix
31     configuration.
32    
33     delay => $seconds (default: 0)
34     If non-zero, then the module will gather data submissions for up
35     to this number of seconds before actually submitting them as a
36     single batch.
37    
38     Submissions can get batched even if 0, as events submitted while
39     the connection is being established or retried will be batched
40     together in any case.
41    
42     queue_time => $seconds (default: 3600)
43     The amount of time a data item will be queued until it is thrown
44     away when the server cannot be reached.
45    
46     linger_time => $seconds (default: same as "queue_time")
47     The amount of time the module will linger in its destructor
48     until all items have been submitted.
49    
50     retry_min => $seconds (default: 30)
51     retry_max => $seconds (default: 300)
52     The minimum and maximum retry times when the server cannot be
53     reached.
54    
55 root 1.2 on_error => $cb->($zbx, \@items, $msg) (default: log and continue)
56 root 1.1 Called on any protocol errors - these generally indicate that
57     something other than a zabbix server is running on a port. The
58     given key-value pairs are the lost items.
59    
60 root 1.2 on_loss => $cb->$zbx, (\@items) (default: log and continue)
61 root 1.1 Will be called when some data items are thrown away (this
62     happens if the server isn't reachable for at least "queue_time"
63     seconds),
64    
65 root 1.2 on_response => $cb->$zbx, (\@items, \%response) (default: not
66     called)
67 root 1.1 Will be called with the (generally rather useless) response form
68     the zabbix server.
69    
70     $zbx->submit ($k, $v[, $clock[, $host]])
71     Submits a new key-value pair to the zabbix server. If $clock is
72     missing or "undef", then "AE::now" is used for the event timestamp.
73     If $host is missing, then the default set during object creation is
74     used.
75    
76     $zbx->submit_multiple ([ [$k, $v, $clock, $host]... ])
77     Like "submit", but submits many key-value pairs at once.
78
