integration between Zabbix and external python script

[TAR]

Hi all,
I have a python script, This script periodically enters my switches and checks the status of interfaces if one interface is down then this script should send an alarm trigger to my Zabbix server and my Zabbix server should display this trigger as an alarm so the monitoring team can be noting it and fix this interface.
So, is there any advice on how I can achieve this connection between my python script and the Zabbix server .. Thanks in advance

Just use parameter 'UserParameter' in agent config file

If your Python script is externally scheduled, you can use a Python package like py-zabbix (https://github.com/adubkov/py-zabbix) to send the interesting values from your script to Zabbix items of type Zabbix trapper. Then you need to configure the triggers for those items to raise problems when needed.
