zabbix-maintenance

zabbix-maintenance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stufently/zabbix-ai-cli-mcp. It costs 53 tokens per session (563 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for managing Zabbix maintenance windows. Zabbix is monitoring software that sends alerts when hosts or services have problems; a maintenance window temporarily suppresses those alerts during planned work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list active or expired windows, create downtime for named hosts or host patterns, extend a window, end one, or prepare a change for an operator to approve.
Why use it?
It prevents planned maintenance from creating misleading alerts and shows exactly which hosts a window will affect before changes are applied.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

zabbix-maintenance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Zabbix: maintenance windows

Check first

zabbix-ai-cli-mcp maintenance list --json

Expired windows are shown deliberately: "that one already ended, remove it" is a routine follow-up and cannot be done if the window is invisible. ends_in tells you how long an active window has left.

Opening a window

Host names may be patterns, so a fleet can be silenced the way it is described:

zabbix-ai-cli-mcp maintenance create "ms*,massivegrid*" --for 7d
zabbix-ai-cli-mcp maintenance create db1,db2 --for 2h --description "index rebuild"

Durations are written the way people say them: 30m, 2h, 7d, 2w.

Nothing happens yet. The command prints a plan showing exactly which hosts matched, and stops. A pattern that matches nothing is an error, not a quietly smaller window — read the host count in the plan before going further.

Whether you may apply it depends on the installation. Where zabbix_write is offered, the change is yours to make: check the matched hosts first, make it, and say plainly what you did. Where it is not, zabbix_plan_create is the only route — relay the approve_command verbatim and let the operator run it.

Data collection

By default Zabbix keeps collecting during the window and only suppresses alerts. --no-data-collection stops collection entirely — which also means a real outage starting inside the window leaves no trace. Prefer the default unless asked.

Ending a window

zabbix-ai-cli-mcp maintenance expire 42     # ends now, keeps the record
zabbix-ai-cli-mcp maintenance delete 42     # removes it entirely

Prefer expire. delete is destructive: it removes the record of the window along with the window, so nothing later explains why alerts were quiet.

Do not

  • Do not open an indefinite window "to stop the noise". Give it the shortest duration that covers the work; a forgotten window is how an outage hides.
  • Do not report a window as created while it is only planned. A plan is a description; until it is applied, nothing has changed.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
