I'm configuring a bot to send alerts from Zabbix, so I installed Python and the modules:
sudo apt install python python-pip python-setuptools
After that, I installed the bot API to use on Zabbix:
python -m pip install --user pyTelegramBotAPI
Created the script in /usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts/ :
#!/usr/bin/env python
import telebot,sys
BOT_TOKEN='123TOKENAQUI321'
DESTINATION=sys.argv[1]
SUBJECT=sys.argv[2]
MESSAGE=sys.argv[3]
MESSAGE = MESSAGE.replace('/n','\n')
tb = telebot.TeleBot(BOT_TOKEN)
tb.send_message(DESTINATION,SUBJECT + '\n' + MESSAGE)
Changed permissions:
sudo chmod +x telegram
sudo chown -R zabbix telegram
And when testing the script on terminal or Zabbix the following error appears:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts/telegram", line 2, in import telebot,sys ImportError: No module named 'telebot'
I tried to solve by installing the module:
python -m pip install --user telebot
Installing the module did not solve it, so I tried to use python3, and the script on the terminal worked, but in Zabbix still showing the same error. I ended up going back to python.
The telebot module does not appear with pip list, only inside the python terminal using the command help ("modules").
What may be causing the problem and how to resolve it?
I managed to solve it using python3, but this time I removed the other versions of python completely before installing again, the steps were as follows:
sudo python -m pip uninstall pyTelegramBotAPI
sudo apt remove python python-pip python-setuptools
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-six
sudo python3 -m pip install pyTelegramBotAPI six
sudo pip install six
