Zabbix and Opensearch integration

Hi all,

I’m trying to set up alerting for some monitors I have, and I want to integrate this with Zabbix. Because we have some colleagues that can access only Zabbix and we try to have everything alerted by Zabbix. Specifically, I want Zabbix to trigger alerts based on data from an OpenSearch API.

My questions are:

  • Should I configure Zabbix to directly query the OpenSearch API and generate alerts within Zabbix?

  • Or is it better to handle the alerting inside OpenSearch and then send notifications to Zabbix via a webhook or similar method?

If anyone has experience with this kind of setup, I’d really appreciate your advice or recommendations on best practices.

Thanks!
