    Zabbix - newbie questions -

    Hello everyone,

    I'm new to Zabbix and I have a few questions. Apologies if these are already answered somewhere...


    1. Is it possible to remove or mute a false positive of a host ? E.g. A temp sensor that doesn't exist reading 0 all the time. How can I mute it forever or remove it ?


    2. I wanted for some network switches to bump up the reading of bits sent/received to 30s instead of 3m. I managed to do this by re-importing the switch template on top of the original one, but I then had to "unlink and clear" all devices using that template and re-link. Is there a more efficient way to do this ? Say I have 50 HP switches and I want to increase the frequency of reads of a specific value.. how do I do that for all switches without having to go one by one ?


    3. How can I create a manual trigger ? e.g. I got a few temp sensors from the network switches... how can I set an alert off when temp goes over a certain threshold ? Not necessarily the template's threashold, something I want to set. e.g. 35 C.


    4. Say a make a simple bash script to return a value on a host. How can I plug that in on a chart in Zabbix ?

    1. how is that temp sensor defined.. via discovery? then tweak discovery rules to not find it or add an override which ignores things ...



    2. why reimport? just change the value in template, it will affect all the hosts, where it is linked.

    Another benefit of using templates is when something has to be changed for all the hosts. Changing something on the template level once will propagate the change to all the linked hosts.
    3. depends on how trigger is configured... if it is using user macros for thresholds, you can override that macro value on host level and then for this host, triggering level changes. Or you can just add new trigger to host directly, it will be for this one host only...

    4. zabbix_sender is a tool that allows sending data to items. you just need to define that item (type -> zabbix trapper) and send your data ...


    Really a questions, that can be answered by reading a manual...
