| − | Each ''type'' of items has a different set of ''keys'' (functions). You can find the complete list on Zabbix documentation:

| − | * List of items (v2.2): https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/config/items/itemtypes
| |
| − | * Item's key for ''Zabbix agent'' (v2.2): https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/config/items/itemtypes/zabbix_agent

| |
| − | To monitor a log file I'm using:
| |
| − | * Item type: '''zabbix agent (active)''' => the client will report all changes to the server, client's does NOT wait for server interrogation: it's pro-active
| |
| − | * Key: '''logrt''' => to handle log files rotation

Vocable
Key points:
- Zabbix configuration rely on templates = set of applications, items, triggers and actions.
- Each template has a list of applications
- Each application has a set of items = datasource
- Each item has some triggers = conditions to raise an event with a specific alert level and type
- Each trigger is bound to some actions = action to perform on when the trigger event is sent. A trigger can rely on many items.
- Each host belongs to one or more groups. Each group has some related templates they apply to their hosts
Access templates
→ Configuration menu >> Templates
Don't forget to choose the group of template you want to see.
Create new template
You can request a new template creation from the template menu:
→ Configuration menu >> Templates >> Create template
Then, you just have to fill up the forms:
- Tab 1 Template : Give a template a name. Template name = Visible name
- Tab 2 Linked templates : If you plan to use Linux then create a link to Template OS Linux. Otherwise, create a link to Zabbix agent.
- Tab 3 Macros : nothing to do over here !
