| |
| − | Zabbix configuration rely on '''templates'''. This is the monitoring principle:

| − | [[File:ZabbixPrinciple_01.png|1024px|caption|Zabbix template principle]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | # A '''template''' is a set of applications, items and triggers
| |
| − | # Each ''template'' has a list of '''applications'''. An ''application'' is either a specific type of data or a dedicated software.
| |
| − | # Each ''application'' has a set of '''items'''. An ''item'' is bound to a specific property or event of the application.
| |
| − | # Each ''item'' can be bound to one or many '''triggers'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | → A trigger can be bound to items that belong to different applications.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Example: item X occured 3 times in less than 10mn, and item Y occured within last 5 mn.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When all the trigger's conditions are meet it will:
| |
| − | * Create a specific Zabbix event
| |
| − | * Set an alarm level. Alarm will disappear automatically when conditions are back to normal

| |
| − | <big>Action</big>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[File:ZabbixPrinciple_02.png|512px|caption|Zabbix action principle]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Each '''action''' is bound to some ''trigger(s)''.
| |
| − | * An ''action'' will take decision(s) when its conditions are meet. It can:
| |
| − | ** Run command on remote host (kill application, reboot, etc.)
| |
| − | ** Send emails and alert users
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <big>Hosts and groups</big>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Each '''host''' belongs to one or more '''groups'''.
| |
| − | * Each ''host group'' has some ''templates'' they apply to their ''hosts''

Vocable
Reminder, you need to know Zabbix vocable. See Zabbix vocable.
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 !
