As a long time Nagios user, Zabbix has come a long way to the point I've started to evaluate it in house. The plethora of templates is a godsend (it was Exchange 2007 monitoring that got me started to look for Nagios alternatives), but I've noticed there are errors in some of the more standard ones that come with Zabbix (1.6.5) and from the template wiki.
For example, Template_Windows has a perf_counter[\Physical Disk(_Total)\Avg. Disk Read Queue Length] and a perf_counter[\PhysicalDisk(_Total)\Avg. Disk Read QUeue Length], with the first being invalid (on Windows 2003 at least). the second ha a slight case typo in QUeue. Same holds true on a couple of the Exchange 2007 counter (SmtpSend and Receive -- one has a custom multiplier, the other none, both counters return similar values).
Is there a common way to submit updates or corrections for templates both to the wiki and back to Zabbix in general? I really appreciate the work everyone has put into the templates and would like to contribute back my corrections for review and incorporation.
