Automating VM Reconfiguration with Zabbix Upon Azure Spot VM Eviction

Question

Hello community,

I am looking for a method and example code to modify a virtual machine's properties monitored by Zabbix when a specific event occurs. For instance, if a spot virtual machine on Azure is evicted, Zabbix should detect the unavailability, execute a script to change the VM size to another type or size with a lower eviction rate, and then automatically restart the VM. Could you please share your ideas, advice, or sample code?

hi

Just see the below if it helps and make the below as a executable one .

import os

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

from azure.mgmt.compute import ComputeManagementClient

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

subscription_id = os.environ.get('AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID', '')

resource_group_name = ''

vm_name = ''

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

compute_client = ComputeManagementClient(credential, subscription_id)

def check_spot_vm_eviction():

try:

    vm_instance_view = compute_client.virtual_machines.instance_view(resource_group_name, vm_name)

    for status in vm_instance_view.statuses:

        if status.code == 'ProvisioningState/succeeded' and 'eviction' in status.display_status.lower():

            return 1

    return 0

except Exception as e:

    print(f"Error checking Spot VM eviction: {e}")

    return -1

if name == "main":

eviction_status = check_spot_vm_eviction()

print(eviction_status)
