Web Scenarios
Zabbix provides an effective and flexible web monitoring function, where the web module regularly executes pre-defined scenarios and stores obtained results.
Integrity of a website
Zabbix web monitoring function allows to check performance and availability of multiple web resources and based on the data collected generate graphs, alarms and send notifications about failures.
For each step of the scenario the following values are stored:
- Download speed
- Response time
- Response code
- Occurrence of a string in result
Emulate user experience
A web scenario is composed by one or more HTTP requests (steps), which together can test the functionality of a web application, ensuring a positive user experience.
During the execution of the steps, the cookies are maintained ensuring effective monitoring.
Additional features

Used in templates
Sometimes it is necessary to gather similar statistics from a large number of web services, such as a farm of webservers behind a loadbalancer. To automate the task, a web scenario can be a template member and can be applied to as many hosts as required, with variables supported in the scenario name, URL and other fields.
