import { Step, Steps } from "fumadocs-ui/components/steps";

[Zabbix](https://www.zabbix.com/) is an open-source monitoring platform for networks, servers and applications. A webhook media type sends its alerts to an Echobell channel.

<Steps>
<Step>
    ### Create a Channel
    Create a new channel in Echobell and copy the **Webhook URL**.
</Step>
<Step>
    ### 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:

    | Name | Value |
    | --- | --- |
    | `url` | `{ALERT.SENDTO}` |
    | `title` | `{ALERT.SUBJECT}` |
    | `body` | `{ALERT.MESSAGE}` |
    | `host` | `{HOST.NAME}` |
    | `severity` | `{EVENT.SEVERITY}` |
    | `status` | `{EVENT.VALUE}` |
</Step>
<Step>
    ### Add the Script
    Paste this into the **Script** field:

    ```js
    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';
    ```
</Step>
<Step>
    ### 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.
</Step>
<Step>
    ### 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.
</Step>
<Step>
    ### 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](/docs/conditions) to keep recoveries quiet:

    ```
    status == "1"
    ```

    Use a second channel with `status == "0"` if you want recovery notifications at a lower urgency.
</Step>
