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 !


How to create a new application and related item, triggers, actions?

Key points:

  1. Each template has a list of applications.
  2. Each application has a set of items = datasource
  3. Each item has some triggers = conditions to raise an event with a specific alert level and type
  4. Each trigger is bound to some actions = action to perform on when the trigger event is sent

  • Access applications' list
