Environment variable is filled

Is the ENV variable declared under the same user that is running the script?

Could you run the "env | grep ZABBIX" comman, after that run the script under the same user again and paste the output in this issue? You can anonymize the output should it contain sensitive information. I can also see that you renamed the file to *sync2.py. Did you make any changes to the code that contains the environment variable logic? If so than i cannot do much troubleshooting here :P

Ah i see you declared the value in the config.py file. This is (for now) not the correct location for this type of data for security and flexibility reasons.

Please set the environment variable like so:

[root@docker ~]# export ZABBIX_HOST="https://zabbix.local"
[root@docker ~]# env | grep ZABBIX
ZABBIX_HOST=https://zabbix.home.local
[root@docker ~]#

Please do this for all the required variables:

ZABBIX_HOST="https://zabbix.local"
ZABBIX_USER="username"
ZABBIX_PASS="Password"
NETBOX_HOST="https://netbox.local"
NETBOX_TOKEN="secrettoken"

[patricklind]

can i get it into a .env file ?

[TheNetworkGuy]

How you import the environment variables is up to you and more of a general linux question. If you want to set the Zabbix host, password and token information in clear text in a text file than you could do this and modify the code to import said variables. However i won't support this and won't advice you to do so.

Instead, look at the different ways of setting environment variables under users or how to set them for a systemctl service.
