Transforming and extracting data with Zabbix pre-processing

This one-day advanced training course is designed for engineers who are already familiar with Zabbix and want to gain a deeper understanding of how to efficiently transform and manipulate data before it is stored or evaluated.

This training focuses entirely on Zabbix’s data preprocessing functionality. It covers advanced preprocessing steps such as regular expression parsing, JSONPath and XMLPath extraction, value mapping, custom JavaScript functions, error handling, and transformation pipelines. The course is intended to help participants build cleaner, more flexible, and more scalable monitoring setups by optimizing how incoming data is prepared. Even experienced users will gain new techniques to streamline complex data ingestion scenarios.

The course includes a mix of theoretical instruction and guided hands-on exercises using a dedicated virtual lab environment provided by our team. You’ll configure items with multiple preprocessing steps, handle real-world examples such as API responses and SNMP outputs, and troubleshoot common pitfalls in preprocessing chains. The lab environment is available for the full day and remains accessible for 24 hours after the course, giving you extra time for additional practice and review.

All participants will receive comprehensive course materials, including theoretical overviews, lab instructions, and sample configurations. These resources will serve as a lasting reference and practical toolkit for your work with Zabbix going forward.

Upon completion of the Advanced Data Preprocessing with Zabbix training, participants will have the skills and knowledge needed to optimize incoming data, reduce reliance on external scripts, and increase the flexibility and accuracy of their monitoring setup. This course is especially valuable for Zabbix administrators and engineers who work with diverse data sources, APIs, or devices that require advanced formatting and transformation prior to monitoring.
