Zabbix + Memtro

Ask Zabbix what is alerting now, which hosts are affected and what an item measured.

Connect Zabbix with your frontend's host and an API token, and Memtro reads current problems with severity, hosts and acknowledgement, event history, hosts, maintenance windows and items with their recent values. The hourly sync writes each new problem event into memory. When you ask, and once an administrator has granted them by name, it can comment on, acknowledge, re-grade, suppress, rank or close problems, set maintenance windows, turn monitoring of hosts, triggers or items off or on, and add hosts. Maintenance and disabling silence alerts, closing a problem or deleting a host is permanent, and configured Actions may notify people.

In Memtro

What you can do with Zabbix in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Zabbix tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Current problems by minimum severity, host, host group or acknowledgement, with tags and the latest message
  2. 02Trigger events over a time window, including resolved ones, with severity and hosts
  3. 03Hosts with monitoring and maintenance state, host groups, templates, triggers and maintenance windows
  4. 04An item's values over a window, with min, max and average for numeric items, and the hourly sync writes each new problem event into memory
  5. 05When asked and granted, comments on, acknowledges, re-grades, suppresses or ranks problems, or closes one by hand for good, and configured Actions may notify people
  6. 06When asked and granted, creates, changes or permanently deletes maintenance windows, turns hosts, triggers or items off or on, which silences their alerts, and adds or permanently deletes hosts

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Zabbix. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Add a comment to a problem
  2. 02Acknowledge a problem
  3. 03Unacknowledge a problem
  4. 04Change a problem's severity
  5. 05Suppress a problem, until a time or indefinitely
  6. 06Unsuppress a problem
  7. 07Close a problem by hand
  8. 08Mark a problem as the cause of others
  9. 09Mark a problem as a symptom of another
  10. 10Put hosts or host groups into a maintenance window (suppresses their alerts)
  11. 11Change a maintenance window's times, hosts or groups
  12. 12Delete a maintenance window (permanent)
  13. 13Turn monitoring of a host on or off
  14. 14Add a host to monitoring
  15. 15Delete a host and its history (permanent)
  16. 16Enable or disable a trigger
  17. 17Enable or disable an item
In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Zabbix is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Zabbix logoZabbix + Memtro
  • Which high-severity problems are unacknowledged right now?

  • What alerted on db-prod-02 overnight?

  • What was the CPU load on web-01 over the last 24 hours?

  • Which hosts are in maintenance at the moment?

  • Put db-prod-02 into maintenance from 22:00 to midnight tonight

01

Morning on call

The on-call engineer at Northwind asks what happened overnight. Memtro reads Zabbix events for the last twelve hours and lists four problems, three resolved, and one disk space warning on db-prod-02 still open and unacknowledged since 03:40.

02

Taking ownership

Priya Nair asks Memtro to acknowledge the db-prod-02 disk problem with a note that she is extending the volume. Memtro acknowledges it as the token's user, and any Zabbix Action set up for updates may notify the team.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Zabbix most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Zabbix is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Also in Engineering and operations

Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withHost and API token
  1. 1

    Needs Zabbix 5.4 or later (7.0 or later recommended), and a dedicated user whose role allows API access, with read access to the host groups wanted and read-write only where problem actions should work. Maintenance, host, trigger and item changes need an Admin or Super admin user type with read-write on those host groups

  2. 2

    In Zabbix open Users → API tokens → Create API token, name it Memtro, choose that user, add, and copy the token: it is shown once

  3. 3

    In Connections → Zabbix in Memtro type your frontend's name in Host only, with no https://, path or port, and paste the API token. The host must be a public DNS name with a publicly trusted certificate

  4. 4

    Ask which high-severity problems are unacknowledged right now

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Zabbix tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Zabbix?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add a comment to a problem; acknowledge a problem; unacknowledge a problem; change a problem's severity; suppress a problem, until a time or indefinitely; unsuppress a problem; close a problem by hand; mark a problem as the cause of others; mark a problem as a symptom of another; put hosts or host groups into a maintenance window (suppresses their alerts); change a maintenance window's times, hosts or groups; delete a maintenance window (permanent); turn monitoring of a host on or off; add a host to monitoring; delete a host and its history (permanent); enable or disable a trigger; enable or disable an item. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Zabbix connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Zabbix data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded. An hourly sync anchors recently changed Zabbix records into memory as entities.

How do I connect Zabbix?+

Host and API token. Needs Zabbix 5.4 or later (7.0 or later recommended), and a dedicated user whose role allows API access, with read access to the host groups wanted and read-write only where problem actions should work. Maintenance, host, trigger and item changes need an Admin or Super admin user type with read-write on those host groups.
