Synopsis

• This module allows you to create, modify and delete Zabbix map entries, using Graphviz binaries and text description written in DOT language. Nodes of the graph will become map elements and edges will become links between map elements. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_(graph_description_language) and https://www.graphviz.org/ for details. Inspired by http://blog.zabbix.com/maps-for-the-lazy/.
• The following extra node attributes are supported: zbx_host contains name of the host in Zabbix. Use this if desired type of map element is host. zbx_group contains name of the host group in Zabbix. Use this if desired type of map element is host group. zbx_map contains name of the map in Zabbix. Use this if desired type of map element is map. zbx_label contains label of map element. zbx_image contains name of the image used to display the element in default state. zbx_image_disabled contains name of the image used to display disabled map element. zbx_image_maintenance contains name of the image used to display map element in maintenance. zbx_image_problem contains name of the image used to display map element with problems. zbx_url contains map element URL in name:url format. More than one URL could be specified by adding a postfix (e.g., zbx_url1, zbx_url2).
• The following extra link attributes are supported: zbx_draw_style contains link line draw style. Possible values: line, bold, dotted, dashed. zbx_trigger contains name of the trigger used as a link indicator in host_name:trigger_name format. More than one trigger could be specified by adding a postfix (e.g., zbx_trigger1, zbx_trigger2). zbx_trigger_color contains indicator color specified either as CSS3 name or as a hexadecimal code starting with #. zbx_trigger_draw_style contains indicator draw style. Possible values are the same as for zbx_draw_style.

###
### Example inventory:
# [web]
# web[01:03].example.com ansible_host=127.0.0.1
# [db]
# db.example.com ansible_host=127.0.0.1
# [backup]
# backup.example.com ansible_host=127.0.0.1
###
### Each inventory host is present in Zabbix with a matching name.

### Contents of 'map.j2':
# digraph G {
#     graph [layout=dot splines=false overlap=scale]
#     INTERNET [zbx_url="Google:https://google.com" zbx_image="Cloud_(96)"]
