Telegram Notification Script FIX for cmk2.0

Hello together,

I fixxed the Telegram Notification Script for the new Check MK Version:

thanks to mk@mathias-kettner.de and Stefan Gehn stefan+cmk@srcxbox.net for providing the initial script.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Telegram cmk2.0

    context = {}
    for (var, value) in os.environ.items():
        if var.startswith("NOTIFY_"):
            context[var[7:]] = value
    return context

def send_telegram_message(token, chat_id, text):
    url = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot%s/sendMessage' % (token)
    data = urllib.parse.urlencode({'chat_id':chat_id, 'text':text, 'parse_mode':'Markdown'}).encode("utf-8")
    urlopen(url, data=data, context=ctx).read()

#### CHANGE THESE ####
tg_token = '00000:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
chat_id = '0000000'

context = fetch_notification_context()
text = construct_message_text(context)
send_telegram_message(tg_token, chat_id, text)

Just put it in ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/ and configure it in the GUI.

Hope it helps you :slight_smile:

Your script its the most pretty for telegram notification on Cmk2.0 :slightly_smiling_face:
Thank you

Can Telegram notifications be integrated officially please? The same goes for Rocket.Chat which is used by many.

Thanks!

With some check strings from snmp devices (checkpoint FW) we had some problems with temperature output, and got this error:

I fixed this with errors=“ignore” in the encode call in function send_telegram_message:

    data = urllib.parse.urlencode({'chat_id':chat_id, 'text':text, 'parse_mode':'Markdown'}).encode("utf-8", errors="ignore")

The Problem is this character: °
OK - 49.0 °C

Interesting is that this script has Python2 and Python3 libraries involved. Also there are libraries from inside CMK and outside from the system.
It is possible if this library problem is fixed also the unicode problem will be gone.

I would love for CMK to officially support more notification backends.
