How to include webchecks without Hosts

[miramira007]

Hellau together,

im a dummy with zabbix. i want to have an good start up with monitoring some web applications. in first time i will check some different web applications without adding hosts. can i do this?

i just want to categorize my webchecks like this:
LICENCE:
webapp 1
webapp 2
webapp 3

The webapps to the category LICENCE are on different servers, so i want to monitor them without adding Hosts.

Someone a idea how to monitor this webapps practically?

Please help,

Create a dummy host in Zabbix (named "web check" for example) and create your web checks on it.

You must have an host to perform a web check so that's as close as you can get to have web checks without creating an host for each.

Thank your for your answer,

but, if you are creating a hosts you must add the ip/dns, i cant fill this place with a useful information. should i maybe use localhost then for the dummy host?

Is this a conveniently way to monitor web apps?

You can use localhost (by default zabbix uses 127.0.0.1, which is fine).

Is this a conveniently way to monitor web apps?

I'm using it when I need to monitor only a single URL without any host attached to it, it works fine this way.

If you need to monitor different hosts with the same web check, you should use different hosts with a template (way quicker and efficient).

It depends on your needs really ;-)
