    Few zabbix questions

    I have just installed zabbix and it seems to be a very powerful and flexible monitoring solution. My current problem is lack of documentation on some of the features. So I figured that I might as well ask questions here.
    1. What are applications and what are they used for?
    2. Templates are hierarchical and I think it would be nice to assign multiple templates to a single host (such as MySQL server running on Red Hat assigned MySQL and Red Hat templates). Since it seems to be impossible to accomplish with templates, is there a way to assign items/triggers/actions to a group?
    3. The default MySQL template has some items to monitor MySQL. One of the items is queries per second. This value is calculated by the MySQL server as average of the whole server run. I would like to graph dynamic changes of server load. For this I would like to graph something like "Current value of MySQL questions minus last recorded value of MySQL questions divide by interval between checks" how would I go about something like this?

    OK, I think I figured out MySQL by doing delta (speed per per second) on mysql.questions. What about the rest of my questions?

      Looks like I host groups are there only for display purposes... So how would I go about having hierarchical templates?

          I have to say this is not a very helpful answer. How do you link templates?
          So far all I can see is that I can daisy chain templates, but that doesn't solve my problem.

            Ah. I see. OK, but linking doesn't solve the problem I described, since each particular template can only link to one other template. Is there a way to do (or simulate) "multiple inheritance"?

              No many-many template support

              Currently Zabbix does not support linking multiple templates to a host.

              These links may help you:

                Hi Team,

                I am looking forward to monitor a postgres database which is installed in a containerized environment.

                Can you please let me if we can monitor the same without agent.
