    Several (advanced) Questions

    can somebody tell me how to do the following :

    1) Create a website checker for the 5 domains we run? Not by using a trigger or item by host, but preferbly create a host per website.

    So when clicking monitoring we get a list of hosts with there triggers being green/white/unavailable/red. Is there a way to add the websites there as hosts?

    If this isn't possible, I have tried adding a item for a certain server for each website like :

    {Paris:net.tcp.service.perf[http,80.85.129.113,80].last(0)}<1

    This doesn't work properly for some reason. I would prefer a www.website.com instead of ip anyway.

    If it's not possible to add these checks as a host, can somebody tell me how to get a website check working correctly for a windows host with this item?

    2) Check to see if 4 other websites with https (port 443) work.

    Would it be possible to make a trigger like : if asked for username and password dialogue = service is up, if no reply on this https port = service is down?

    3) Anybody using ServersCheck with zabbix? I'm using this software with a serial based tempature meter. Would be awesome if I could get the temp/humidity sensors to work with zabbix.

    4) I would like to have all windows event logs with a warning or error be sent to my email. Has anybody got zabbix to get windows eventlogs and send them to email/media? Is there a FAQ or HowTo available for this?

    1) Make a host called "www.website.com", put "www.website.com" in its DNS name. Make a ping or service item for it. Make a trigger on that item.

    2) You could probably make a simple little script on your Zabbix server for this.

    3) A script could probably do this. We need more information.

    4) Yes, it's possible. There are several threads on the forum about this.

      Thanks, I tried that, but I was unable to manualy create items that worked.

      Can you tell me what to do for this? Create item --> Simple check http<80>
      Numeric? unitS? multiplier?


      2) You could probably make a simple little script on your Zabbix server for this.
      I have no knowledge whatsoever about unix, any idea's where I could find some help/scripts for this?

        1) Yes, simple check, numeric. You're on the right track, the manual and some trial and error will help.

        2) Er... maybe look around in the forums for a bit, to get a feel for how these things work?
