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:
| Key | Description | Return value | Comments |
| icmpping | Checks if server accessible by ICMP ping | 0 - ICMP ping fails
1 - ICMP ping successful | One of zabbix_server processes performs ICMP pings once per PingerFrequency seconds. |
| icmppingsec | Return ICMP ping response time | Number of seconds
Example:
0.02 | |
| ftp,<ip>,<port> | Checks if FTP server is running and accepting connections | 0 - FTP server is down
1 - FTP server is running | |
| http,<ip>,<port> | Checks if HTTP (WEB) server is running and accepting connections | 0 - HTTP server is down
1 - HTTP server is running | |
| imap,<ip>,<port> | Checks if IMAP server is running and accepting connections | 0 - IMAP server is down
1 - IMAP server is running | |
| nntp,<ip>,<port> | Checks if NNTP server is running and accepting connections | 0 - NNTP server is down
1 - NNTP server is running | |
| pop,<ip>,<port> | Checks if POP server is running and accepting connections | 0 - POP server is down

| ssh,<ip>,<port> | Checks if SSH server is running and accepting connections | 0 - SSH server is down
1 - SSH server is running | |
| tcp,<ip>,port | Checks if TCP service is running and accepting connections on port | 0 - the serivce on the por
t is down
