zabbix-starlink

Monitoring Starlink Dish by gRPC and Python project starlink-grpc-tools

Tested on FreeBSD

• Package - py39-grpcio-1.52.0 HTTP/2-based RPC framework
• Package - py39-grpcio-tools-1.52.0 Protobuf code generator for gRPC

How it works

Python projects by gRPC connect to Dish and read information. Result is by Prometeus format. Zabbix read URL - {$STARLINK.SCHEME}://{HOST.CONN}:{$STARLINK.PORT}/metrics.

Running on FreeBSD in Screen

function exec_in_screen() {
  name=$1
  command=$2
  screen -dmS $name sh; screen -S $name -X stuff "$command\n";
}

exec_in_screen "starlink" "/usr/local/bin/exporter_starlink.sh"

cat /usr/local/bin/exporter_starlink.sh

cd /root/starlink-grpc-tools
/usr/local/bin/python3.9 dish_grpc_prometheus.py status alert_detail
