Monitoring Zabbix Server
Hello Guys,
I need help with the configuring the Item that monitor Zabbix server.
I have created an item that check the status of the Zabbix server via systemctl but when I stop the server (apache it up at this time) it doesn't alert about the status of the Zabbix server because the zabbix server doesn't handle any requests from agents. Then I have tried to do it via Simple check (via port) but it didn't solve this issue too. The server will not show any new alert because it is stopped.
Of course it is visible in the Web dashboard but my colleagues are using some tools like Zabbix Vue or Nagstamon.
Sure these tools is very comfortable but when the zabbix server is down they don't show any errors like "connection error" or something else, they are showing cached result of the last check. It can confuse, since people can think that anything is ok and their tools are showing a correct results of checks.
