I have started reading their API document a few days, we need to using [Host](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/api/reference/host/get), [Host Group](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/api/reference/hostgroup/get), and [Item](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/api/reference/item/get). Follow the API document, I think we need a new `fetcher` to process all the Zabbix hosts and metrics data. At the `fetcher` processing, we need to follow these steps. 1. Creating a new schedule task to query their API, similar to Prometheus fetcher. 1. User needs to provide their Zabbix user account at the configuration, so we could access their API after [login](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/api/reference/user/login). 2. User needs to provide metrics conversion mapping, such as `MAL`. We need to use item API to get all these host metrics data and convert them to the meter system. 3. Using host group and host API to get The necessary data, to build the service or service instance data. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
