Support for Zabbix

:optdepends:    - zabbix server

:configuration: This module is not usable until the zabbix user and zabbix password are specified either in a pillar
    or in the minion's config file. Zabbix url should be also specified.

    .. code-block:: yaml

        zabbix.user: Admin
        zabbix.password: mypassword
        zabbix.url: http://127.0.0.1/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php


    Connection arguments from the minion config file can be overridden on the CLI by using arguments with
    ``_connection_`` prefix.

    .. code-block:: bash

        zabbix.apiinfo_version _connection_user=Admin _connection_password=zabbix _connection_url=http://host/zabbix/
