3 Trapper items

Overview

Zabbix server uses a JSON- based communication protocol for receiving data from Zabbix sender with the help of trapper item.

Request and response messages must begin with header and data length.

Zabbix sender request

{
           "request":"sender data",
           "data":[
               {
                   "host":"<hostname>",
                   "key":"trap",
                   "value":"test value"
               }
           ]
       }

Zabbix server response

{
           "response":"success",
           "info":"processed: 1; failed: 0; total: 1; seconds spent: 0.060753"
       }
