# zabbix midware v1.0 (Zabbix to AIOPs)
###### tags: `By_Ivan`

This document explain how do the midware transport data from Zabbix to AIOPs, and how to reassemble the json messages to csv lines under the configs' structure.

## workflow

Psuedocode:

while True:
    list_of_configs = listdir("config.dir/") 

    for file in list_of_configs:
        config = JSON.load(file)
        
        messages = [json_query(items) for items in config["item_list"]]
        write_csv(messages)
        
    now = time.now()
    sleep_time = 1 minute - now.m - now.s - now.ms
    sleep(sleep_time)

## config structure

Each config json file corresponds to a line in the output csv file.

The config determines witch zabbix server to query from, and the information required by Osprey.

{
    "zabbix":{
        "host":{$IP:PORT},
        "user":{$USER},
        "password":{$PASSWORD}
    },
    "probe":{
        "name":{$probe_type},
        "target_host":{$probe_server},
        
        "_discription":"This entry is used to provide information to Opsrey"
    },
    "item_list":[
        {
            "id":{$id_int},
            "dtype":{$dtype_int[0-4]},
            "col":[{$list_of_colname|empty}]
        },
        {
            "id":{$id_int},
            "dtype":{$dtype_int[0-4]},
            "col":[{$list_of_colname|empty}]
        }
        
    ]

}

## Future works

1. threading
2. config structure refine
3. daemonlize
