I would infer that sipnagios is already Zabbix compatible, right now.

However, Zabbix seems not to gather historical performance data from
external checks.
Anyway, Zabbix will DO show the output of sipnagios in GUI, so at least
you'll see the latest performance point (eg you will see in GUI all the
performance values of the last call).
