Hi,
I was wondering if there is any plan to add some items to the base zabbix distrib. I know we can extend the thing with user agent but this is the easiest way and can be said for all the monitoring so lets get to some exemples :
dnschk[domain,type, server] and dnschkperf[domain,type,server]
check a dns server for the ip of the type (MX A etc..).
the normal version return the ip(s)/name(s) gathered, the perf version return the time the server took to answer.
DNS is critical to network infrastructures so it can be an handy tool
The second set of items i'd love is
httpanswer[domain,url,regex]
that check a page (domain for http 1.1 hosting) and return true/false if it find the regex submited.
This one comes handy to monitor web applications without the need to put an agent on the server.
