2 Quickstart guides

After you have installed Zabbix and its web interface, it is time to start monitoring.

Use these quick guides to start monitoring popular resources:

Quickstart guides focus on using official Zabbix templates for monitoring. A template is a pre-configured set of monitoring elements. A template allows to scale monitoring—you can test a template on a single monitoring target (device, app, etc), tweak it, and then apply it to multiple similar monitoring targets.

While templates are fine for out-of-the-box monitoring, you may also be interested in customizing its elements.

To better understand the basic elements that make up a template, consult Basic configuration.
