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, triggers and actions
 
# 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: Trigger ex: 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 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''

Vocable

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


Access templates

Zabbix template access

→ 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:

Zabbix template 01 create template

→ 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.


Zabbix create template tab2


  • Tab 3 Macros : nothing to do over here !
