Monitoring your whole infrastructure is very essential specially in IT infrastructures. I recently learn creating and writing scripts for monitoring like this. I will share you how I make telegram and email notifications script. This script sends an telegram and email notification whenever a problem in the infrastructure occurs.
What is Zabbix
Zabbix is an open source software that monitors numerous parameters of a network and the health and integrity of servers, virtual machines, applications, services, databases, websites, the cloud and more. Zabbix uses a flexible notification mechanism that allows users to configure email-based alerts for virtually any event. This allows a fast reaction to server problems. Zabbix offers excellent reporting and data visualization features based on the stored data. This makes Zabbix ideal for capacity planning.
Telegram Notification Script
Log in to your Zabbix proxy/server via SSH and go to "externalscripts" directory.
cd /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts
Create the script for Telegram bot. Set up your telegram bot here.
sudo vim telegram-notif.sh
Paste the script below
#!/bin/bash # Telegram Bot API Token BOT_TOKEN="YOUR_BOT_TOKEN" # Telegram Chat ID CHAT_ID="YOUR_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID" # Message to be sent MESSAGE="$1" # Sends the telegram message curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot$BOT_TOKEN/sendMessage" -d "chat_id=$CHAT_ID&text=$MESSAGE"
Save your script.
:wq
Convert it to an executable file
chmod +x telegram-notif.sh
Email Notification Script
In the same directory, create a python file.
sudo vim email-notif.py
Paste this code. This code requires an app password from your gmail account. Create your app password here.
import smtplib from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText import sys # Get the alert message from command-line arguments alert_message = sys.argv[1] # Email account credentials gmail_user = 'YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS' gmail_password = 'YOUR_APP_PASSWORD' # Use your App Password here # Create the message msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['From'] = gmail_user msg['To'] = 'YOUR_RECIPIENT_EMAIL_ADDRESS' # Recipient's email address msg['Subject'] = 'Alert Message Subject' # Subject of the email message = alert_message msg.attach(MIMEText(message, 'plain')) # Attempt to send the email try: server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 465) server.ehlo() server.login(gmail_user, gmail_password) server.send_message(msg) server.close() print('Email sent!') except Exception as e: print('Failed to send email:', e)
Don't forget to save and make this an executable file
:wq
chmod +x email-notif.py
This script can be integrated in Zabbix to notify issues that needs to be addressed as quickly as possible.
In some instances, running a python script in a server requires root permissions(sudo). To allow Zabbix run the python script with sudo, you must edit the visudo.
sudo visudo
Find the "User privilege specification" and paste this line of code under it.
zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/your_script.py
So it will look like this
# User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/python3 zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/your_script.py

This tutorial demonstrates how to use Python to process the statistical concept of Zipf's law and demonstrates the efficiency of Python's reading and sorting large text files when processing the law. You may be wondering what the term Zipf distribution means. To understand this term, we first need to define Zipf's law. Don't worry, I'll try to simplify the instructions. Zipf's Law Zipf's law simply means: in a large natural language corpus, the most frequently occurring words appear about twice as frequently as the second frequent words, three times as the third frequent words, four times as the fourth frequent words, and so on. Let's look at an example. If you look at the Brown corpus in American English, you will notice that the most frequent word is "th

Python provides a variety of ways to download files from the Internet, which can be downloaded over HTTP using the urllib package or the requests library. This tutorial will explain how to use these libraries to download files from URLs from Python. requests library requests is one of the most popular libraries in Python. It allows sending HTTP/1.1 requests without manually adding query strings to URLs or form encoding of POST data. The requests library can perform many functions, including: Add form data Add multi-part file Access Python response data Make a request head

PDF files are popular for their cross-platform compatibility, with content and layout consistent across operating systems, reading devices and software. However, unlike Python processing plain text files, PDF files are binary files with more complex structures and contain elements such as fonts, colors, and images. Fortunately, it is not difficult to process PDF files with Python's external modules. This article will use the PyPDF2 module to demonstrate how to open a PDF file, print a page, and extract text. For the creation and editing of PDF files, please refer to another tutorial from me. Preparation The core lies in using external module PyPDF2. First, install it using pip: pip is P
