Hi all,
i am new to this forum because i just started ti use Zabbix a few weeks ago. I already have a basic setup and some custom checks and Zabbix is fun i think. But as i come from Icinga/check_mk i have to learn and try out a lot. That's why i would like to ask what would be the best approach for a specific monitoring task because i would like to use the best way Zabbix is offering. I read about Macros and stuff but i still might miss something.
I have a couple of server who run different number of services. The services always consist of 2 processes. The number of services on each host are different.
The first service has two commandlines:
/path/to/{$NAME1}/process1
/path/to/{$NAME}1/process2
The second service also has two commandlines:
/path/to/{$NAME2}/process1
/path/to/{$NAME21/process2
and so on.
Of course i could define the checks for each proc.num[commandline] by hand for each service and host but there might be a much better way which a Zabbix Pro would use.
So, i would like to know of there is a elegant way by using Macros, Template, Discovery or whatever i don't know yet to minimize the configuration work.
Thanks in advance!
Rregards,
Martin
