Zabbix Webhook

You can install the Zabbix integration to enable Moogsoft Enterprise to receive event data from Zabbix alertscripts.

When you use the integrations UI, you can only configure the visible properties. If you want to implement a more complex Zabbix webhook LAM with custom settings, see Configure the Zabbix Webhook LAM.

This integration only supports Zabbix deployments in Unix environments.

See the Zabbix documentation for details on Zabbix components.
