Hello,
First of all, sorry for my poor english.
I'm currently testing Zabbix, and I can't figure out how to have a screen linked to a host, that will show graphs generated by a LDD rule.
I will try to explain what I have done so far :
In a template ("OS AIX template") :
- I wrote a LDD rule that discover hard drives (hdisk) on an AIX server, and prototype item that return IOPS for each hdisk (bases on iostat). This works great.
- I also made a graph prototype that charts this IOPS for each hdisk.
- I applied this template to one host (server), so I have (say) 10 IOPS graphs (one for each hdisk in my server).
- I also created a graph for this particular server, containing all hdisk IOPS in one graph.
Now, I would like to make a screen with all the IOPS graphs for one server, and I want this screen to be linked to the server ("host"). i.e when I click on the host (in a map for instance), I want to be able to have a direct link to this screen.
Problems I have at the moment :
- Only screens that are defined in a template are linked to hosts that use this template.
- Screens defined in template can not contain graphs for LDD items, since LDD items are only defined when the template is applied to a particular host.
- I can create a screen containing all the IOPS graphs for a particular host, but it seems I have no way to link this screen to this host.
Do I misunderstand something, or is there no way to do want I would like with Zabbix 2.0 ?
Thanks for your help.
