Easy configuration of Zabbix alerts

Manage alerts

With DataForge, your users can configure on their own, which alerts they wish to receive from the Zabbix server.

No administrator privileges or skills are needed, only the corresponding permission in DataForge

Users can individually configure the minimum severity (per hostgroup) of problems they wish to be alerted of. Alerting settings can optionally be applied to all subgroups of the selected hostgroup.

Act quickly and and avoid false alarms

Put hosts in maintenance

DataForge allows users with the according DataForge permissions to put hosts and hostgroups in maintenance on the press of a button.

This way, you can avoid false alarms, for example in the case of an unplanned restart of a server.

Contrary to the configuration of reports directly in the Zabbix frontend, you don’t need to enter a concrete description, start or end date for the report period: The hosts & hostgroups will simply be put in or out of maintenance at your command.
