    Raise problem to Zabbix from external source

    Hi,
    I am testing Zabbix as possible monitoring tool our network infrastructure.
    We already have automated environment witch runs various scripts and raises alerts on specific hosts on our current monitoring tool via API.

    In Zabbix API I can't find how to do it. There is no method event.create. Also I thought can update item or trigger state or last values but it had no effect.

    Any ideas if problem could be created on specific host via API?
    Also in in general: Is it possible to push alerts/problems to Zabbix from one external system on various hosts?

    Zabbix is not an event collector, but an event generator. You cannot push your your events into it. As already said here, if you want those events in zabbix, you should start collecting those metrics with zabbix and let it generate those events for you.

    Only workaround would be to write those events to log and let an item pick all of them up and generate event for each line... but that's ugly AF solution.
