Using Zabbix to monitor a forward proxy server

I need to be notified when our proxy server goes down. Currently I have a bash script that tests the proxy functionality:

CHECKRESULT=(curl -s --proxy 4.83.58.205:80 checkip.dyndns.com | awk '{print $6}' | sed 's/<\/body><\/html>\r//g';)


if [ "$CHECKRESULT" != "4.83.58.205" ]
                                then
                                echo "FAILED: proxy 4.83.58.205 returned \" $CHECKRESULT\""
                                FAILEDCOUNT=$(($FAILEDCOUNT+1))
                                fi

I'm just getting started with Zabbix and would like to use it to run a similar check, but how?

It's an http proxy btw, not a Zabbix proxy. Just want to monitor functionality .
