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?
