Zabbix Globalscrips

In Zabbix, Global Scripts are a set of user-defined scripts that can be used for various automation or custom actions across the entire Zabbix system. These scripts are typically written in languages like Bash, Python, or others and are used to extend the functionality of Zabbix. They are useful for executing actions such as sending notifications, performing external checks, or automating responses to certain triggers.

Global Scripts are disabled by default , we need to enable it before we can use the global scripts. To enable we need to make changes in the zabbix config file as follows :

sudo nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

In the config file we will set the parameter EnableGlobalScripts to 1 to enable global script execution.

EnableGlobalScripts=1

Save & exit the file and restart the services to apply the config changes done .

sudo systemctl restart zabbix-server
