Hosts

Host statuses

  • Monitored
  • This is normal host status. ZABBIX monitors all hosts having this status. Values received by zabbix_trapperd will be accepted and stored in the database.

  • Not monitored
  • ZABBIX will not monitor hosts having this status. Values received by zabbix_trapperd will be ignored.

  • Unreachable
  • A host becomes unreachable if and only if a network error (host unreachable, connection refused, unknown host, etc) occurred during retrieval of monitored parameter. Once a host became unreachable ZABBIX will not try to request any values within next 60 seconds. Then, if a parameter is retrieved successfully, ZABBIX will change host status to MONITORED. Otherwise, the host will not be checked within next 60 seconds. And so on.
