title: Using Zabbix to monitor Restful call
body: <p>I want to use Zabbix to make a Restful GET call periodically and check a return value.</p>
  
  <p>For example I have a URL like <a href="https://mysite/api/performCheck" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://mysite/api/performCheck</a>. This endpoint returns JSON data that would look something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{ "status": 0 }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If the status is 0 it indicates the site is performing as expected while none zero values would indicate an error code.</p>
  
  <p>I would like Zabbix to make this restful call every 5 minutes and check that the value of "status" is 0. If the value is not zero I want Zabbix to send an alert.</p>
  
  <p>How do I configure the Zabbix server with this type of robotic job?</p>
