Add zabbix datasource in Grafana's "Data Sources" menu (see Data Sources docs for more info) and setup your Zabbix API url.
Important! Change Access to direct!

Note for Zabbix 2.2 or less

Zabbix API (api_jsonrpc.php) before zabbix 2.4 don't allow cross-domain requests (CORS). And you can get HTTP error 412 (Precondition Failed). To fix it add this code to api_jsonrpc.php immediately after the copyright

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST');
header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 1000');

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'OPTIONS') {
	return;
}

before

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/include/func.inc.php';
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/include/classes/core/CHttpRequest.php';

Full fix listing. For more info see zabbix issues ZBXNEXT-1377 and ZBX-8459.
