Hi,

I was wondering if there is any plan to add some items to the base zabbix distrib. I know we can extend the thing with user agent but this is the easiest way and can be said for all the monitoring so lets get to some exemples :



dnschk[domain,type, server] and dnschkperf[domain,type,server]

check a dns server for the ip of the type (MX A etc..).
the normal version return the ip(s)/name(s) gathered, the perf version return the time the server took to answer.

DNS is critical to network infrastructures so it can be an handy tool :)




The second set of items i'd love is

httpanswer[domain,url,regex]

that check a page (domain for http 1.1 hosting) and return true/false if it find the regex submited.

This one comes handy to monitor web applications without the need to put an agent on the server.
