Key Value or JSON from web server?

[bhlowe]

Hi,
I have a web app running in several places. I'd like to monitor and graph my custom data. I can request my API and return JSON or Key Value data as part of https check.

How do I get this simple data into Zabbix? I would rather not have to use the UserParameter and modify the agent. Being able to graph the data and compare it to other hosts is the desired goal.

Endpoint 1: https://host/api/state?mode=json
{
"build": 20170817,
"transcoders": 0,
"mem-max": 7589068800,
"state": "OK",
"up": 3,
"bytes-out": 546424224,
"mem-free": 365000664,
"bytes-in": 5000,
"version": "6.0.1",
"down": 0,
"connections": 2
}


Endpoint 2: https://host/api/state?mode=zabbix

myapp.build=20170817
myapp.transcoders=0
myapp.mem-max=7589068800
myapp.state=OK
myapp.up=3
myapp.bytes-out=546424224
myapp.mem-free=371305968
myapp.bytes-in=5000
myapp.version=6.0.1
myapp.down=0
myapp.connections=2


And of course if would like to check the state for not "OK" and send an alert.. or send an alert if I don't get a 200 response code.

This seems really basic and highly valuable.. But my zabbix expert and I are struggling with the best way. Any pointers appreciated!

Currently, for this tasks, I'm writing scripts in python. But now you can try to use zabbix 3.4 for this. It allows parsing json, xml and text inside zabbix.
