Triggers and items

[vivek17apr]

I have created an item in zabbix for monitoring of port 22 and sshd service.

The rule of the item is net.tcp.service[ssh,,22]

The name of the item is SERVICE_SSH

Now the issue is how do we add this item for triggers in our zabbix setup.

I have around 500 hosts in our setup. How to setup those triggers for all the hosts in setup.

I have to setup around 5-6 alerts for different services too. I am using version 3.2.

Awaiting quick updates as this is a bit urgent.

Thanks,
Vivek

You should be adding this into a template to apply to the 500 devices you have.

Then when you create the trigger it should look like this...

{TemplateName:net.tcp.service[ssh,,22].last(0)}<1

This will alarm when the number of service ports for port 22 fall below 1.

Thanks for the answer.

Want to know the exact procedure of adding a trigger.

Is it template>item>trigger?

If you have added a sample template, can you please help me with an example?

Yes, you create the template first.
Create the Item for the SSH service in the template.
Then create the Trigger to alarm when the Item crosses your threshold.
Then apply that template to the servers you want to monitor SSH on.
