Template Gallery

All,

I've starting preparing for Zabbix 1.4 by testing 1.3.6 in my lab. I'm very impressed with the template export/import features. This will greatly benefit the richness of the Zabbix user community.

Here is a template export of what I use to monitor a Cisco PIX. Does anyone else have templates to share?

Many thanks!

I created a special section in ZABBIX Wiki for XML templates:

http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/doku.php?...trib:templates

Feel free to contribute! Your templates will have a great chance to be included into official ZABBIX distribution.

Thanks for your work.

Template galery is really great thing!!
Thanx to all!

But it would be very nice in future, to have some scripts which will prepare xml data for zabbix dynamicaly, not staticaly.

I mean, that snmpwalk host | somemagiccommand > template.xml would be good idea

or

cat nagios.conf | somemagiccommand2 >hosts.xml is next idea ..

Maybe better than use pure commands like snmpwalk could be using configs from nagios, mrtg or cacti which have better discovery now ...

Have you found a way to do this yet?
I have a lot of data that needs to go into my zabbix install and to do it manually is going to take days.

I'll be needing this also... the 3000+ hosts I've got will take a little more than just days of pointing/clicking to get running ;)

I've written a complete config builder for Nagios that should really be 90+% of the work towards generating importable Zabbix configs. All that needs to be done is modify the output stanza to change from nagios syntax to wrap with appropriately-formatted Zabbix XML tags. Maybe add in custom-modified graphs for the host based on a template membership, etc.... I love this stuff!

I'll have to get familiar with the available options and such, but if anyone else wants to take a gander at this first, feel free to hack away at this:

If no one beats me to completing this, I'll post this to the wiki after it's done enough to make me happy!

Cheers,

I added a template for monitoring MS SQL Server to the wiki

http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/doku.php?...trib:templates

It is based on SQL 2005 but most everything should work on SQL 2000 as well.

If you have more than one instance you need to change the services and perf_counter checks to the names of the instance

SQLServer = MSSQL$<Your Instance Name>
SQLAgent = SQLAgent$<Your Instance Name>
ReportServer = ReportServer$<Your Instance Name>
MSSQLServerOLAPService = MSOLAP$<Your Instance Name>



Up next is my exchange template which I am still fine tuning.

This is a great resource thanks.

FYI

I've posted a new export on the Zabbix Wiki templates page. It is for monitoring the temperature of Dell servers running OpenManage and the Windows SNMP service. This is especially handy for administrators that have machines mounted in the top portion of colo cages. Some of our machines are 25 C warmer than our average just because of where they are located in the datacenter. It's also interesting to watch corporate hardware get warmer over the weekend when the building is running on limited climate control.

I'm currently monitoring temperature mostly on Dell PowerEdge 1850, 1950, and 2950 hardware.

Main board temperature
OID = .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20.1.6.1.1

Backplain temperature
OID = .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20.1.6.1.5

Note that the return values need a 0.1 multiplier.

Hi Coder,

What specifically about the template do you need help with?
