How do I configure Zabbix to send different types of alerts to Telegram

1. Create a Telegram Bot

- Use @BotFather on Telegram to create a new bot by sending the command `/newbot`.
- After creating the bot, you will receive a token that is necessary for API access.

2. Obtain Chat IDs

- Personal Notifications: Use @myidbot to get your personal chat ID. Start a chat with it and send `/getid`.
- Group Notifications: Add your bot to the group and send `/getgroupid@myidbot` in the group chat to get the group ID. Make sure to also send `/start@your_bot_name` to activate the bot in the group[2][3].

3. Configure Zabbix Media Type

- In the Zabbix web interface, navigate to Administration > Media types and create a new media type:
- Name: `telegram_notification.py`
- Type: `Script`
- Script name: `telegram_notification.py`
- Set the parameters to include:
- `{ALERT.SENDTO}` for the chat ID
- `{ALERT.SUBJECT}` for the subject of the message
- `{ALERT.MESSAGE}` for the alert content[1][2].

4. Set Up Alert Actions

- Go to Configuration > Actions and create a new action:
- Name: `Telegram notification`
- Subject: Customize it, e.g., `#{HOSTNAME}: {TRIGGER.NAME} {TRIGGER.STATUS}`
- Message: Customize the message format, for example:

    Value: {ITEM.VALUE} {TRIGGER.STATUS}
    Date: {EVENT.DATE} Time: {EVENT.TIME}
