Monitoring SLA using alerts

[rdenadai]

Hi,
is there anyway in Zabbix to monitoring SLA changes in the same way we check services?

I mean, send an email to some user, when the SLA value for an specific item is low than the agreed?

Thanks for the help

There is no option to send any notifications based on SLA, at least for me. I was also looking for the same and tried so many options in zabbix.

But, there is a workaround for this, You can use Discovery to check service uptime and create one action to send notification.

Thanks,
Jitendra

Thanks for the answer... i realized that there's no option for this... so i'll take the hard way, build a script to try to automate that, a python script called from zabbix or outside... still not decide about that.

but thanks!

Hello,

It is good to hear from you.

My only request is to please share that script once created because i never worked on scripts.

Thanks,
Jitendra

If anyone can tell that is there any way to monitor Service UPTIME using DNS names and a way to send notification of Service uptime in zabbix?

DNS Service

jeetusjeet,
Use the key:

net.dns[<ip>,zone,<type>,<timeout>,<count>]

net.dns[8.8.8.8,www.yourdomain.com,1,2)

create an item with this key and then a trigger to go into a problem state if it equals 0
