Building things from scratch - No data showing

[walterg74]

I am trying to build my own templates and items, etc.

This is what I've done so far:

- Create a new template, not linked/cloned from any other
- Created 3 items for that template, to check CPU utilization
- Created an aplpication called CPU Availavility that contains these 3 items
- Created a simple trigger that goes off when free cpu goes below a certain
level
- Created a Host linked to this new template, and put it in a new host group

After doing all that, I go to monitoring, but it doesn't even show up...

What am I missing?

What version of Zabbix do you use ?

When you go to Monitoring > Latest Data for your host, is there anything in the "Last check" column ?
When you go to Configuration > Items for your host (not your template), are items marked as "not supported" ?

What if you run zabbix_server with logging level set to debug ?

The problem was that I created the item, and didn't change the return type. I left the 64 bit integer default and it returned in fact a float. After I changed that it didn't show "unsuppoerted" and the data came up.

This prog. is excellente...

Gonna go see how I have to go about to monitor network devices (routers, switches, etc)
