IntelliTrend Mobile for Zabbix
About our app
What is IntelliTrend Mobile for Zabbix?
IntelliTrend Mobile for Zabbix is a mobile app specially designed for real-time monitoring and access to your Zabbix servers. The app allows its users to access their Zabbix servers from their mobile devices and check the status, manage problems or view key performance metrics. Our app is optimized for use in different company structures: It supports both individual users or large companies with multiple users and servers.
Online documentation is available for all features of the app.

Zabbix 7.2 support
Starting with app version 7.6.0, IntelliTrend Mobile has added support for Zabbix 7.2. However, due to an issue in Zabbix 7.2.0, this does not yet work in Zabbix Direct mode.
We have contacted Zabbix about this issue and suggested a fix, which is likely to be included in the upcoming Zabbix patch release 7.2.1. Once the problem has been resolved by Zabbix, the app will seemlessly start working again with the new Zabbix version.
DataForge, as well as Zabbix versions older than 7.2 are not affected by this issue.
Zabbix 7.2 removed support for passing the authentication token within the JSON request content, now requiring to use a Bearer token in the HTTP Authorization header.
The Zabbix API however does not include the necessary Authorization header in its Access-Control-Allow-Headers header.
This prevents all clients respecting CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) from using the Zabbix API, including our mobile app.
This does not affect most other API integrations (such as DataForge, or third-party automation scripts) because those usually do not need to respect CORS rules.
To learn more about the issue, visit ZBX-25732.
If you have not yet upgraded to Zabbix 7.2, we recommend that you stay on 7.0 or lower until a patch has been released.
To check whether a patch has already been released, visit the ticket at ZBX-25732.
If you have already updated to the latest Zabbix 7.2 version and are encountering this issue, you can also apply a temporary workaround:
Simply override the following line (around line 18) setting the CORS header at the top of the api_jsonrpc.php file on your Zabbix frontend server (this file is usually located at /usr/share/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php or /usr/share/zabbix/ui/api_jsonrpc.php):
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type');
This line should be changed to include the Authorization header as follows:
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization');
Alternatively, you can set this header in the configuration of your web server / reverse proxy. Following is an example for the reverse proxy nginx:
proxy_hide_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers;
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type, Authorization";

Keep an eye on your systems – no matter where you are
IntelliTrend Mobile offers two modes of operation
Zabbix Direct and DataForge Mode
Zabbix-Direct Mode
The Zabbix Direct mode in the IntelliTrend Mobile App allows a direct connection to your Zabbix server using the Zabbix API. It is an app subscription-based service. This option is ideal for individual users or organizations interested in easy and direct access to their Zabbix servers.
This mode supports an unlimited number of Zabbix servers, which users can easily switch between. Different user accounts can also be created for the same Zabbix server.
The app provides access to a configurable dashboard and allows users to manage issues, view data and receive push notifications for specific events. Historical data can be displayed in charts and predefined graphs are also supported. Using our media type, native push notifications can be received from Zabbix alerts.
The app offers a free 30-day trial.
DataForge Mode
The DataForge mode extends the functionality of Zabbix-Direct with additional features, such as self-provisioning, user-defined alarms or user-defined reporting for more transparency. The latest version even offers AI-based anomaly detection. DataForge mode does not require an app subscription. This mode is particularly well suited for enterprise users, companies with multiple Zabbix servers or system integrators and MSPs who want to provide mobile access and reporting to their customers. In addition to access via the app, DataForge also includes a web-based frontend.
When using DataForge mode, the app connects to a DataForge server via the HTTP-based DataForge API. The DataForge server then establishes a connection to a Zabbix server via the Zabbix API. The DataForge server is available as a cloud service or self-hosted. DataForge supports horizontal scaling, HA setups and role-based access control, making it an ideal choice for any organization using Zabbix.
The app can be used directly without registration.
