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 5 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)
- Microsoft Teams (free, to an extent)
- Opsgenie (free, to an extent)
- Telegram (free)
We will not cover how to set up the services themselves, but 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.
