Applications are the best source of information about when something goes wrong. Good error handling code would detect an event. When an error is detected, I would like to immediately send an alert to Zabbix. Running a bunch of scripts via Zabbix at regular intervals is a lot of unnecessary overhead and if the interval is set to say, 5 minutes, then you might have to wait as long as 5 minutes to learn about the event. Having the application generate the alert as part of the error handlers in the code is preferred. FYI, we already do this with old monitoring software. All I want to do is replace the alerting code to send to Zabbix instead. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Mike
