I'd like to share a small open source project: Zabbix Digest.
The problem
Zabbix alerts are great, until one of them gets lost in a busy inbox.
A problem that fired once and is still active a day later is easy to miss.
The answer
Zabbix Digest sends you a daily email with the active problems from a Zabbix dashboard (your own or a shared one), but stays silent when there are none.
The idea works best when Zabbix Digest is silent on most days - but if a digest email arrives, then you probably missed something.
Keep the dashboard empty when things are fine: for long-standing problems, open a ticket and acknowledge or suppress the problem in Zabbix.

Features
- Per-user access with the user's own Zabbix API token, so everyone sees only what Zabbix allows them to see.
- Self-service web UI: log in with an API token or an email link, manage subscriptions, preview the digest, send a test message.
- Optional per-subscription filters that narrow the Problems widget filter: minimal severity, hide acknowledged, hide suppressed.
- Error notifications if a digest can't be prepared (invalid token, missing widget and so on).
- Optional weekly or monthly reminder, sent only when no digest went out for that period, so you know the service is alive.
- Docker Compose setup, including a demo profile with a Zabbix API stub and a test mailbox, so you can try it without touching your Zabbix.
- Email out of the box; other delivery channels through external adapters.
