Using host group info in webhook

[martr]

We are using Zabbix in a multi-customer environment (providing managed services). We are using host groups to designate which customers different hosts belong to. We would like to integrate a 3rd party helpdesk by sending http requests via Zabbix webhook, whenever certain events take place on hosts (as described here: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../media/webhook).

We're trying to include the Zabbix host group info in the webhook calls so that our helpdesk would know, which customer the host belongs to that triggered an event. Which input parameter should we use to have the host group info available in the webhook?

There seems to be an HOSTGROUP.ID macro, but I'm not sure whether it's available for triggered events (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ed_by_location). Furthermore, it would be better to have the actual host group name available, instead of some non-descriptive ID.

{TRIGGER.HOSTGROUP.NAME}

It seems to be exactly what we need, although I haven't tested it yet. Thank you!

Is it possible to filter on that? So only certain hostgroups trigger the webhook?

Hello, an approach to what you are trying to achieve could be using conditions in the trigger action:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/config/notifications/action

So in order to execute the webhook, the event must belong to certain hostgroup, and event severity higher than... following the logic that suits better.

Other (and probably better option) would be the use of tags with the same logic. Instead of specify each hostgroup in conditions, you could use a tag like "notifications: webhook". and match that once.

Hope it helps.

That's perfect, fvilarnovo, thank you!
