Zabbix Integration

This guide describes how to integrate your Zabbix 5.0 installation with Zammad using the Zabbix webhook feature. This guide will provide instructions on setting up a media type, a user and an action in Zabbix.

Requirements

  • Zammad with enabled HTTP Token Authentication
  • Zabbix version 5.0 or higher

Setting up a Zammad

  1. Enable API Token Access in Settings > System > API.

2. Create a new user for a Zabbix alerter with an email address and create a personal user token with ticket.agent permissions.

Zabbix Webhook configuration

Create a global macro

1. Before setting up the Webhook, you need to setup the global macro {$ZABBIX.URL}, which must contain the URL to the Zabbix frontend.

2. In the Administration > Media types section, import the Template

  • zammad_enable_tags to true or false to enable or disable trigger tags. Important: if you enable tag support, each tag is set with a separate request.

4. If you want to prioritize issues according to severity values in Zabbix, you can define mapping parameters:
