Technical requirements

For this chapter, we are going to need our Zabbix server, preferably how we set it up throughout this book, though any Zabbix 7 server with some alerts on it will do.

We will also need access to a few external services, as follows:

• Slack (free, to an extent):

  https://slack.com/

• Microsoft Teams (free, to an extent):

  https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-teams

• Opsgenie (free, to an extent):

  https://www.atlassian.com/software/opsgenie/

• Telegram (free):

  https://telegram.org/

We will not cover how to set up the services themselves, only how to integrate them with Zabbix. Make sure you have set up the required service by following a guide and that you have some knowledge of the services in general.
