[zabbix]

I all, I'm new with zabbix and I'm very gratefull with anyone how can help me to start.I'm reading the documentation for 1.1 but I have some difficulty. I have a zabbix agentd and server on my pc and I want to be segnaled when the processor reach the 100%.What are the step to execute?The manual is not clear? Thanks all

There is no straight forward answer to that. Search the forums for "processor load" for more discussion relating to this topic.

The short answer however, it can't be done in the direct manner you are wanting. You could trigger if idle is less than 5% for instance quite easily and that would yield about the same as what you are looking for.

that of processor load was only an example. the real problem is that I'm unable to link user-media-item and triggers.Someone can help me to configure zabbix for a generic purpose?thanks

trigger -> action -> alert media (email, sms, etc)

The alert will only be sent if the severity level is appropriate for that email.

- first you must include "localhost" as a host.
- Then add a new item to that host (or link the host with a default template).
- Go to "monitoring" -> "latest data" to verify that the server gets values for your new item(s).
- Go to "configuration" -> "triggers" and create a new trigger for your item
- go to actions and create one for your trigger.
- I suppose you got your media "email" running?

This should be all you need to get a simple monitoring!
Seems very complicated, but if you begin monitoring about 40 items on about 20 hosts or so, you'll be happy with all the opportunities zabbix gives you!


Good Luck!
