This commit introduces two new device types, GroundValueChecker and WeatherSensorDevice, which leverage public APIs (BORIS NRW and Open-Meteo) for real-time data collection. It also includes several API enhancements and fixes to support these new integrations.
Detailed changes:
- **New Device Types**:
- Added GroundValueChecker schema and integration with BORIS NRW WMS via Zabbix Script items.
- Added WeatherSensorDevice schema and integration with Open-Meteo via Zabbix HTTP Agent items.
- **API Enhancements**:
- Added error field to ZabbixItem for item-level error reporting.
- Updated CreateTemplateItem mutation input to support params (for Script items) and timeout.
- Registered missing scalar resolvers: JSONObject, DateTime, and Time.
- **Performance & Reliability**:
- Implemented batch fetching for item preprocessing in both host and template queries to reduce Zabbix API calls and ensure data visibility.
- Updated template_importer.ts to correctly handle Script item parameters.
- **Documentation**:
- Consolidated public API device recipes in docs/howtos/cookbook.md.
- Added guidance on analyzing data update frequency and setting reasonable update intervals (e.g., 1h for weather, 1d for ground values).
- **Testing**:
- Added new regression test REG-ITEM-META to verify item metadata (units, description, error, preprocessing) and JSONObject scalar support.
- Enhanced RegressionTestExecutor with more detailed host-item relationship verification.
This commit introduces support for provisioning weather sensors with geo-coordinates
via user macros and fixes a critical mapping bug in device status.
Changes:
- fix: Corrected DeviceStatus enum mapping (0=ENABLED, 1=DISABLED).
- feat: Added 'status' field to CreateTemplateItem input in GraphQL schema.
- feat: Enabled user macro assignment during host and template creation/import.
- feat: Added regression tests for user macro assignment and HTTP agent URL support.
- docs: Updated cookbook and sample queries to use {$LAT} and {$LON} macros.
- test: Added unit tests for macro assignment in HostImporter and TemplateImporter.
- chore: Regenerated GraphQL types.
This change introduces the Weather Sensor device type which retrieves data from public APIs, and enhances the core Host/Device interfaces to provide consistent access to inventory and items across all specialized device types. It also improves search logic and fixes several bugs identified during implementation.
- Weather Sensor Extension: Added schema and recipe for a device retrieving weather data via Zabbix HTTP agent items.
- Interface Enhancements: Added inventory and items fields to Host and Device interfaces to ensure all device specialized types have consistent access to monitoring and inventory data.
- Search Logic Improvements: Enhanced ParsedArgs to support searchByAny and technical name (host) searches when a name pattern is provided.
- Bug Fixes:
- Fixed getLocations argument order in the Zabbix API datasource.
- Implemented deduplication for groupids and templateids in HostImporter to prevent Zabbix duplicate value errors.
- Added missing url field to CreateTemplateItem for HTTP Agent item support.
- Testing:
- Extended the regression test suite with 4 new automated checks covering the fixed bugs.
- Updated Jest tests to accommodate the improved search parameters.
- Documentation: Updated cookbook and test specifications to reflect new features and regression testing obligations.
- Established a centralized test specification in docs/tests.md that defines test categories, cases, and a coverage checklist to ensure consistent quality and maintainability across the project.
- Implemented RegressionTestExecutor for managing automated regression tests on a live Zabbix system.
- Updated GraphQL schema and resolvers with a generic runAllRegressionTests mutation.
- Enhanced MCP integration with new operation files and detailed documentation for AI-driven automation.
- Updated README.md and How-To guides (Cookbook, Maintenance, MCP) to reflect the new testing framework and MCP capabilities.
- Verified all changes with a full Jest suite (74 tests) and live end-to-end smoketests.
