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

    Table 1. Connector instance value parameters
    Parameter Description
    api_endpoint_suffix

    Set 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_processing If 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
    groupids Provide 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_min Configured 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_batch If 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_min Specifies the time offset in minutes for adjusting the fetch start time relative to the current time.

    Default: 5 minutes
    port Port number for the Zabbix server to connect to.

    Default value: empty
    protocol Protocol to use when connecting to the Zabbix server.

    Default value: http
    with_triggers It 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.
