Aplications and Scenarios

[Yello]

Hi,
In my initial exploration of zabbix I have done it by configuring a web scenario. However, under hosts I also see that applications and items can be configured.

I have created an application called "Web Service" and have been looking at adding an item to it, which seems analogous to a service. The Item dialogue allows a key to be selected, one of which is web.page.perf. This seems to duplicate what my web scenario is doing.

Can someone clarify the difference here? i expected to be able to link the web scenario to the item and then to the application. That doesn't seem to be the case so I'm a little confused...

Note: I'm using the zabbix appliance.

David

Hi,
Am I right in thinking that applications and items are agent related while scenarios are agentless, such as http requests?

Hi,
Does no answer to my supposition mean that I am right or so far off that it's just a lost cause?

Aplications and Scenarios

Web Scenario has no items.
All items to check in the scenario are defined within scenario itself.

It is linked to the application though - when you create it, you have to chose an application.
