systemd is a software suite that provides an array of system components for Linux operating systems. Its main aim is to unify service configuration and behavior across Linux distributions.
This template is designed for the effortless deployment of Systemd monitoring by Zabbix via Zabbix agent 2 and doesn't require any external scripts.
Requirements
Zabbix version: 7.4 and higher.
Tested versions
This template has been tested on:
Systemd 252
Configuration
Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.
Setup
Setup and configure zabbix-agent2 compiled with the Systemd monitoring plugin.
Set filters with macros if you want to override default filter parameters.
