Zabbix connector instance value parameters

The following table displays the Zabbix connector instance value parameters that you can fill in, as needed, when creating a Zabbix connector instance.

ParameterDescription
api\_endpoint\_suffixSet this value based on your Zabbix server web interface installation: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/installation/frontend\#welcome-screen Default value: /zabbix/api\_jsonrpc.php \[For Apache Server\]
debug

Set to true to enable debug logs.

Default value: false

enable\_batch\_processingIf batch processing is enabled, metrics details are fetched in batch with 1000 \(can be altered by setting appropriate value to - 'max\_hosts\_per\_batch' parameter\) hosts per batch.Default value: false
groupidsProvide the host group IDs. These IDs will be used to fetch metrics from the hosts attached to the specified groups. This applies only if `enable_batch_processing` is set to true.
logPayloadForDebug

Determines whether to print the raw log payload. Set to true only for debugging purposes, as printing the raw payload quickly fills up the MID Server logs.

Default value: false

max\_fetch\_interval\_minConfigured from the 'max\_fetch\_interval\_min' parameter: If the time exceeds 'max\_fetch\_interval\_min', fetching starts from 'max\_fetch\_interval\_min' before the current time; for an INITIAL run without 'lastMetricSignature', the time is set to 'max\_fetch\_interval\_min' before the current time.Default value: 180 minutes
max\_hosts\_per\_batchIf batch processing is enabled, metrics details are fetched in batch with 1000 \(can be altered by setting appropriate value to - 'max\_hosts\_per\_batch' parameter\) hosts per batch.Default value: 1000
offset\_minSpecifies the time offset in minutes for adjusting the fetch start time relative to the current time.Default: 5 minutes
portPort number for the Zabbix server to connect to.Default value: empty
protocolProtocol to use when connecting to the Zabbix server.Default value: http
with\_triggersIt will fetch the trigger information.Default value: false

Note: When monitoring a large number of hosts in Zabbix, fetching massive metric data can impact performance and cause API timeouts; enabling batch processing (enable_batch_processing = true) mitigates this by fetching metrics in batches (default: 1000 hosts, configurable via max_hosts_per_batch), though it increases network calls and must be used when monitoring 10,000+ hosts or facing performance issues.
