Only monitor processes when application is installed.

[Fr1ts1e]

Hi,

I am looking to find a way to create an item that only starts monitoring a process when the application that usage that process is installed.

For example some apache servers we have. The item should do something like when 'system.sw.packages[apache2]" is 1 then monitor the apache process.
If "system.sw.packages[apache2]" = 0 then do nothing.

Is this possible in Zabbix?

Regards,
Frits

Discovery is the keyword you should look for in documentation...

Looks like the systemd.unit.discovery is only supported under Zabbix Agent 2. We are unfortunately on a lower version.

But you can always write your own scripts to do similar work... UserParameters are for such cases... Or install agent2 ... That's not really a "higher version". It is just a different version and can replace classic agent.
You have options, just need to pick the one(s) you want to use...
