    Propagating alerts from Zabbix instance without direct internet access?

    Hi, I'm just trying out Zabbix, as a way to monitor a TrueNAS server in a research lab that's part of a university. Due to restrictions on what can be on the university's LAN, I have set things up such that the TrueNAS server is on it's own private LAN, with a university-managed Windows workstation that is on both networks (the university LAN and my private LAN) that want to try to use to propagate monitoring alerts from the TrueNAS system to email, slack, etc. At the moment, I have the Zabbix appliance running in a VM on the TrueNAS server, monitoring through SNMP.
    Things that I've considered trying:
    • Have the Zabbix server publish an RSS feed with alerts that's checked by a script on the Windows system every x minutes, and use some other basic alert system to manage sending alerts based on new events in the RSS.
    • Run Zabbix in docker on the windows workstation, and have it directly monitor the TrueNAS system. This might entail calling University IT and trying to convince them to allot NAT traffic on the port, because they have a history of blocking ports with NAT-like traffic from VMs.
    Any other ideas?
    Hopefully my explanation of the scenario is clear enough.
    Thanks for your help.​
