Parsing json result and acting upon it

[rchav]

Hi and thanks in advance for any help you may provide. Using version 7.4 (docker).

I have a web api I want to monitor. It returns a json object where one of the elements contains a string that I want to parse. If the value of this string is X the result is ok, but if it is Y or Z, it is not and I will like to get an alert.

For the most part I was able to create the host and entered a web monitoring step. But I don't understand how to parse the json response.

I'm relatively new to zabbix.

You do not need a web monitoring. You need HTTP item, which gets your json, what you need to preprocess a bit to get the actual value, what you need and then you can build trigger(s) based on that value.
