Accepts requests on a configurable set of URLs then forwards the GET query parameters or POSTed JSON body to Zabbix Server (as a JSON value), with optional JMESPath transformation.

Use with Zabbix 4.0 or later and Trapper Items of type log, then configure further processing of the JSON body in Zabbix using Dependent Items and JSON preprocessing.
