Tubearchivist-Zabbix

Allows you to monitor and record your Tubearchivist collection using Zabbix. Since Zabbix is very flexible, you can automate a lot with the TA API, when combined with triggers.

Features

Triggers

• No downloads happened in the past week
• No downloads happening despite download queue not empty
• Check if tubearchivist is throttled

Supported items

• Total number of videos, streams, shorts
• Download queue progress
• Download speed (will vary greatly depending on downloading video/audio)

Automatic restart of downloads

In case of downloads randomly quitting, Zabbix can restart your download queue for you via a custom Alert script.

Depending on how far you integrated Zabbix into your environment, you could additionally kill tubearchivist after a set amount of failures.

Requirements

• Tested using Tubearchivist 0.4.8 and Zabbix 6.4, YMMV
• Tubearchivist needs to be accessible via Zabbix Server
• Tubearchivist API key
