Simple checks

Simple checks

Simple checks are normally used for agent-less monitoring or for remote checks of services. Note that ZABBIX Agent is not needed for simple checks. ZABBIX Server is responsible for processing of simple checks (making external connections, etc).

All simple check accepts two optional parameters:

  • ip - IP address. Dafult value is 127.0.0.1
  • port - Port number. If missing, standard default service port is used.

Examples of using simple checks:

ftp,127.0.0.1,155
http,11.22.33.44
http_perf,11.22.33.44,8080

List of supported simple checks:
