Send Notification

How to send a notification

There are 3 options to send a notification:

  1. Via ZBXsend
  2. Via command line tools like curl
  3. Via REST in your own tools/applications
 

1. Via ZBXsend

 

  • Install ZBXsend (See ZBXsend page)
  • Adjust the configuration file
  • Call ZBXsend with your notification data as command line parameter
 

zbxsend \
	-i '<IDENTIFIER/INSTANCENAME>' \
	-a '<APITOKEN>' \
	-u '<APIKEY>' \
	-r '<RECIPIENTID>' \
	-e <EVENTID> \
	-s <STATUS> \
	-l <SEVERITY> \
	-t '<TITLE>' \
	-x '<TEXT>' \
	-n '<HOSTNAME>' \
	-g '<HOSTGROUP>' \
	-y '<HOSTTYPE>'

2. Via command line tools like curl

 

  • Open a terminal
  • Pass the right parameters to curl
 

curl -XPOST \
  https://api.zbxalert.com/v1/message \
  -H "X-ZBXalertAPI-Token: k7jR8HiKBsy9ciagqNz8rDg1ZAtRtHy5Sbg3dIHLBjtDa0allNQO9ehK5bjURblvdwTZrvqXq6vXMxvikbpHaX0NzknCe7pZxh8kQyzwozRtPnshvhbQfdPuixRxeLbA" \
