There are .repo files located here as well.... you could wget these into /etc/yum.repos.d, and then in theory an install of Zabbix 1.8.3 would be as simple as running 'yum install zabbix zabbix-server zabbix-agent'<br />

<b>Zabzen</b> is an OpenSource tool designed for large zabbix network with lots of servers (I use it for 1500 servers), it performs rapid configuration ready to be imported in Zabbix from:<ul><li>a list of servers or a list of databases instances MYSQL / ORACLE / MSSQL (csv file)</li>
<li>a META Template used as a input model</li>
</ul><br />
<img src="http://www.coreit.fr/images/stories/database.png" border="0" alt="" /><br />
It ouputs one XML file with hundreds of servers ready to be imported in Zabbix (and for example for Oracle, it produces also the tnsnames.ora file). <br />

			<description>Here is my template that I created to monitor ColdFusion 9 services.  Sometimes the services like to stop running so I created a Template that will monitor them and trigger when any state besides running occurs. 
 
Built on Zabbix 1.8.2 running on CentOS 5.5 
 
Enjoy :)</description>

Does someone used zabbix to monitor a <b>checkpoint utm-1 edge X </b>firewall? I have the mib from checkpoint (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2620) but none of OIDs are working.<br />
<br />
But I'm sure that snmp is working because I'm able to retrieve &quot;simple&quot; OIDs like sysUpTime, SysName, etc and even CPU load (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.2 - 5 min).<br />
<br />
But I'm not able to get, for instance, WAN traffic. I did a snmpwalk and got lots of values, but how to identify which one is the one that I need?<br />
<br />
TIA,<br />
<br />
Bob</div>
