  • Attacker's perspective: how external researchers think and what internal teams miss
  • Practical defense strategies at code, server & browser level

imagine you need to monitor many different http/s microservice endpoints
you can create them using the zabbix gui, or note them down in a simple yaml dict. this automation uses ansible to utilize the zabbix api to create zabbix http/s checks with graphs and alert trigger

health_checks:
    - check_url:              "https://www.example.com/blog/"
    - check_url:              "https://api.example.com/endpoint/search?query=token"
      check_searchstring:     "Results for: token"
    - check_url:              "https://api.example.com/long/running/api"
      check_timeout:          "10s"
    - check_url:              "https://api.example.com/special/returncode"
      check_returncode:       "200,206"
