Key points:
Zabbix configuration rely on templates. This is the monitoring principle:
- A templates is a set of applications, items, triggers and actions
- Each template has a list of applications
Each application is either a specific type of data or a dedicated software.
- Each application has a set of items
Each item is bound to a specific property | event of the related application.
- Each item can be bound to one or many triggers
When all the trigger's conditions are meet it will:
- Create a specific Zabbix event
- Set an alarm level. Alarm will disapear automatically when conditions are back to normal
- 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 !
