How do I use Zabbix to monitor the status of my tasks
Q: How do I use Zabbix to monitor the status of my tasks.
What: We are looking to monitor some of our Limagito tasks inside Zabbix using the rule event in Limagito.
Why: Example, we have an SLA for a specific service, we monitor the hardware services etc in Zabbix
Some of those services depends on file being moved by LIMAGITO.
How: I need to execute a CMD with parameter on event success and on event fail so I can communicate to my Zabbix server.
Could you give me some assistance as to how I can run an .exe with parameters whenever a task is successful/unsuccessful?

A: In version v2023.10.23.0 we added our ‘Command Line’ option to the Rule Events. This should make it possible to use any Command Line tool like the one from Zabbix (zabbix_sender.exe).
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/concepts/sender
Example for the ‘On Success’ event. We have no idea about the zabbix_sender Command Line tool parameters, this is just an example from their website.
You’ll need to enable the ‘On Error’ event too and add the Command Setup for this event also (with other zabbix_sender parameters).
We have set the ‘Max Time After Beginning’ to 30 seconds. This prevents the command from hanging in case there is an issue with the command Line tool.
Maybe it is a good idea to enable ‘Success event memory’ and ‘Error event Memory’. This way the event will only be triggered when the status changes between Success <> Error and not with every Success and Error event.
#zabbix #cmd #filetransfer #filemanagement

How to delete rows from file memory database
How to delete rows from file memory database
Q: I don’t believe there is a way to do it now. But if there is, please let me know… We often need to resend a file, with rules that have memory turned on. There is not always a clean way to do this, and would love if we could just delete a single line from file memory. Is that possible? Or on the road map for future development?
A: We added an option in version v2023.10.14.0 to achieve this.
The file memory option is mostly used together with the Copy function. This option remembers which files were already copied and will prevent that the same files are copied over and over.
In the setup screen we added a ‘Database’ button below. This will open the File Memory database content viewer.
In version v2023.10.14.0 we added:
Previous and Next buttons to navigate through the database rows
SQL WHERE Filter to limit the results of the File Memory database
Default: WHERE Filename like ‘%%’
Examples:
WHERE Filename like ‘%mysubfolder\myfilename.pdf%’
WHERE Filename like ‘%mysubfolder\myfilename.pdf%’ AND Filesize < 4096
WHERE Filename like ‘%mysubfolder\myfilename.pdf%’ AND NOT (Filesize < 4096)
…
Delete (multi) selected rows
After <Delete> you’ll get the following message:
In the following example the File Memory database has 4833 rows. Scrolling through them to find the file you need would be difficult so this is why we added the ‘SQL WHERE Filter’.
We adjusted the default ‘SQL WHERE Filter’ and clicked the <Refresh> button on the right. The result, only 3 rows which makes it much easier to select the one you want to delete from the File Memory database.
Under the ‘Database’ tab we have an option to delete all entries from the File Memory database.

How to send encrypted emails using a public key
In version v2023.10.1.0 we added an option to send encrypted emails.
Open the SMTP as Destination option. The “Sign / Encrypt” tab is only available when our second API vendor CK is selected. This option is also available in our Rule Events Email option.
Select “Sign / Encrypt” tab:
Enable Encrypt Email: this will encrypt the email using the certificate file. When sending an encrypted email, it is the recipient’s certificate (Public Key part) that is used for encryption. Only the public key
is needed to encrypt. The recipient is the only one possessing the private key, and therefore is the only one able to decrypt.
Certificate File: Load an RSA-based certificate. Encrypting an email only requires the public key (Decrypting an email requires the private key).
Loads a certificate from a .cer, .crt, .p7b, or .pem file. This method accepts certificates from files in any of the following formats:
1. DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER)
2. Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER)
3. Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard – PKCS #7 Certificates (.P7B)
4. PEM format
Key Length: When the email is sent encrypted (using PKCS7 public-key encryption), this selects the key length of the underlying symmetric encryption algorithm.
The possible values allowed depend on the Pkcs7CryptAlg property. For “aes”, the key length may be 128, 192, or 256.
For “3des” the key length must be 192. For “des” the key length must be 40. For “rc2” the key length can be 40, 56, 64, or 128.
Use Oaep Padding: Selects the RSA encryption scheme when encrypting email. The default value is disabled, which selects RSAES_PKCS1-V1_5. If set to enabled, then RSAES_OAEP is used.
Oaep Has Algorithm: Selects the hash algorithm for use within OAEP padding when encrypting email using RSAES-OAEP. The valid choices are sha1 , sha256 , sha384 , sha512.

If you need any information about this ‘send encrypted emails’ option, please let us know.
