nautobot-ssot-zabbix 0.1.1a0

Nautobot SSOT App for Zabbix integration — automatically registers and syncs hosts from Nautobot into Zabbix.

Nautobot SSoT Zabbix

⚠️ Alpha Software: This project is currently in alpha and is under active development. APIs, configuration options, and behavior may change between releases. Use in production environments is not recommended until a stable release is published.

An SSoT app for Nautobot that synchronizes device data between Nautobot and Zabbix monitoring.

Overview

This app extends the Nautobot SSoT framework to provide bidirectional synchronization between Nautobot devices and Zabbix monitored hosts. It uses the DiffSync library to detect and reconcile differences between the two systems.

What Gets Synced

For each Nautobot device with an active or staged status and a primary IP, the app syncs:

• Host name and visible name
• Primary IP address for monitoring
• Host group (derived from device location, tenant, or configurable mappings)
• Monitoring template (derived from device role or a configurable default)
• Enabled/disabled status
• Description (populated with Nautobot device metadata)
• Zabbix tags preserving Nautobot context (source, location, role, device type, tenant, platform)

Sync Directions

• Nautobot to Zabbix (ZabbixDataTarget) — Creates, updates, and deletes Zabbix hosts to match Nautobot device inventory. This is the primary sync direction.
• Zabbix to Nautobot (ZabbixDataSource) — Audits Zabbix hosts tagged with source=nautobot back against Nautobot to detect out-of-band drift.

Only Zabbix hosts tagged with source=nautobot are managed by this app, so manually created Zabbix hosts are never modified or deleted.

Requirements

• Nautobot >= 3.0.0
• nautobot-ssot >= 4.0.0
• Python >= 3.10, < 3.13
