Zabbix Platform

About

Zabbix is a monitoring platform that provides visibility into the health, performance, and availability of IT infrastructure, such as servers, networks, applications, services, and cloud resources.

The Zabbix Platform DataMiner connector leverages Zabbix's API to retrieve data from the Zabbix platform. This API is a web-based API that is shipped as part of the web frontend and uses the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol.

This connector will export different connectors based on the retrieved hosts from the API.

Key Features

  • Automatically discover Zabbix hosts to add them in DataMiner as managed elements.
  • View host status, uptime, and monitoring health from the DataMiner UI.
  • Drill down to host groups, triggers, items, events, correlations, and problem records.
  • Enable/disable host polling and configure per-host DVE behavior.
  • Apply host-group and tag filters for fast navigation and operational focus.
  • Link Zabbix-generated issues into DataMiner automation workflows and alerting.

Use Case

Unified Monitoring Visibility

  • Challenge: Siloed Zabbix monitoring data is separated from remaining network and workflows.
  • Solution: Export Zabbix monitoring data to DataMiner as elements.
  • Benefit: Unified visibility for NOC teams and reduced context switching.

Automation and Event Correlation

  • Challenge: Zabbix events and automated workflows require manual correlation.
  • Solution: Map Zabbix triggers/events into DataMiner and route to automation/alert pipelines.
  • Benefit: Faster incident response and fewer missed issues.

Technical Info

Prerequisites

  • Zabbix server with API enabled and reachable from DataMiner.
  • DataMiner 10.3 or higher is required for compatibility with the NetInsight Nimbra Vision connector.
