Zabbix Integration - Infrastructure Alerts

Create a Channel

Create a new channel in Echobell and copy the Webhook URL.

Create a Webhook Media Type

In Zabbix, go to Alerts → Media types → Create media type, set Type to Webhook, and name it "Echobell". Add these parameters:

Add the Script

Paste this into the Script field:

var params = JSON.parse(value),
  req = new HttpRequest();

req.addHeader('Content-Type: application/json');

var response = req.post(params.url, JSON.stringify({
  title: params.title,
  body: params.body,
  host: params.host,
  severity: params.severity,
  status: params.status
}));

if (req.getStatus() !== 200) {
  throw 'Echobell returned HTTP ' + req.getStatus() + ': ' + response;
}

return 'OK';

Assign the Media to a User

Go to Users → Users, open the user who should be alerted, and on the Media tab add an entry with Type Echobell and Send to set to your channel's webhook URL.

Create a Trigger Action

Go to Alerts → Actions → Trigger actions and add an action whose operation sends a message to that user through the Echobell media type.

Only Notify on Problems

Zabbix sends both problem and recovery events. {EVENT.VALUE} is 1 for a problem and 0 for a recovery, so set this channel condition to keep recoveries quiet:

status == "1"

Use a second channel with status == "0" if you want recovery notifications at a lower urgency.
