Zabbix
Use this skill for Zabbix production monitoring reads: API health checks,
monitored host inventory, current or recent problems, problem-state triggers by
severity, and concise incident summaries that can feed R29 cards. Zabbix tells
us what is broken; local or SSH maintenance skills investigate and remediate on
the affected host.
This v1 skill is read-only. Do not acknowledge, suppress, close, update, or
delete Zabbix objects through this skill. If a later task adds write operations,
each write must be amber/red, require an exact operator grant through F8/F14,
and include the Zabbix event id and action in the approval text.
Credential Rules
Set or update the API token in this order:
- Browser admin: open the active HybridClaw admin URL ending in
/admin/secrets and set
ZABBIX_API_TOKEN.
- Browser
/chat or TUI fallback:
/secret set ZABBIX_API_TOKEN "<zabbix-api-token>".
- Local console fallback:
hybridclaw secret set ZABBIX_API_TOKEN "<zabbix-api-token>"
For live calls, run the helper to build a gateway http_request payload and
pass only the emitted httpRequest object to the built-in http_request tool.
The helper sets bearerSecretName: "ZABBIX_API_TOKEN" for authenticated
Zabbix methods so the gateway injects the bearer token server-side. It never
prints Authorization headers, token values, usernames, passwords, or Zabbix
session tokens.
When a terminal-side live smoke test is needed, pass --live to the same
http-request command. It posts the same httpRequest object to the HybridClaw gateway
/api/http/request route and stops after the first Zabbix 401/403 response.
Set HYBRIDCLAW_GATEWAY_URL and HYBRIDCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN only for gateway
access; do not store those as Zabbix credentials.
Do not call Zabbix with curl when the gateway http_request tool is
available. Do not ask the user to paste a Zabbix API token, username/password,
or session token into chat.
If the operator has a tenant-specific frontend path, pass it with --base-url
or set ZABBIX_BASE_URL in the runtime environment. The helper accepts both
https://zabbix.example.com/zabbix and
https://zabbix.example.com/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php and normalizes both to the
JSON-RPC endpoint. HTTPS is required by default. Use only for a
trusted local or private Zabbix frontend where plaintext HTTP is an intentional
operator choice.
