Push data to Zabbix

[Eithco]

I'm working for a company that has some tools running on top of Oracle Forms. We monitor data from the users, and would like to push it to Zabbix running on a client machine.

I looked into the API and it seems like the way to go about it is through the API, specifically, I think, the Web Scenarios API. But I'm new to this so I'm not sure.

Ideally I would have a REST API that allows me to POST key value pairs to Zabbix, and allow the client to monitor these values through their Zabbix interface. Is this possible?

Re: Push data to Zabbix

I want to clarify my question. Which I guess the first thing is, does it even make sense to push data into Zabbix?

Is this a valid workflow? Or does Zabbix monitor "everything" independently and doesn't handle any "pushing" of data?

If not, then the question really is does Zabbix monitor Oracle Forms?

Any help would be appreciated.

There is no such thing like something which "make sense to push data into Zabbi".
Zabbix it is monitoring infrastructure which can monitor any metrics which have string/text or numeric values.

Using zabbix you can monitor everything which can produce text/numric values. It can be even number buckets of water transported from point A to B by bunch of dwarfs ..

If not, then the question really is does Zabbix monitor Oracle Forms?

Any help would be appreciated.

Please start reading zabbix documentation.
