Uptime Monitoring of Zabbix Server

[hyprem]

Hi there

I am currently having a LAB Project from my School and the want me to proove them the Uptime of zabbix. I am able to monitor the speed with the Documentation here:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/web_monitoring/example

However there is nothing about Uptime. Does anyone have a hint for me?

Cheers

If you want to monitor the uptime of each server using the Zabbix agent, an item key called system.uptime is provided.

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/config/items/itemtypes/zabbix_agent

Since it is also set to the host registered by default on the Zabbix server, please refer to the setting.

Dear Atsushi

Thanks for your reply. The only thing what I need is to show thath the zabbix server itself has a uptime of 90%. So I wonder if there is a way of the example shown here: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...toring/example to define the output as percentage of success wich also means uptime then. So if the login check works for several Days it shows only the speed but not the uptime of this Scenario.

Whether or not the web monitoring succeeded and the success rate are not related to the system availability.
Do you want to calculate the success rate?

uptime refers to the time since server startup.
If you want to measure it, please look at system.uptime.
Web monitoring setting is unnecessary.

What is the thing you want to monitor?
Please tell me more what you want to monitor a little more specifically.

You are totally right, sorry about the confusion.
So in my Project I have to guarantee that the Zabbix Dashboard has a availability of 95%. I also have to show it. Since Zabbix is running on a Ubuntu Server in a Datacenter its no problem its available 99.99%.
For this Project I have created a second Dashboard and I need to show a Graph in percentage of the availability of the Zabbix webseite. So I wonder if I can calculate the percentage of success of the web Scenario and declare it as availability.

Hi, you can also check the tutorial with the screenshots by Vasily Ignatov on SpiceWorks > How to: Website uptime and downtime monitoring with Zabbix. Also: have you tried to use a Grafana plugin? It helped me visualize all Zabbix metrics.
