Zabbix 4 Network Monitoring - Third Edition

Extracting content from web pages

When creating the web-monitoring scenario, we extracted content from a page to be reused later. With simpler agent monitoring, it's still possible to extract some content from a page. As a test, we could try to extract the text after remembers me for and up to days. Click on Create item again, and fill in the following:

• Name: Zabbix remembers me for
• Key: web.page.regexp[127.0.0.1,/zabbix/index.php,,"Remember me for.(\d.)",,\1]
• Type of information: Character
• Applications: ZABBIX

When you've done that click on the Add button at the bottom.

The item key works with Zabbix server page contents at the time of writing. If the web page gets redesigned, consider it an extra challenge to adapt the regular expression. ...
