Zabbix version 7.4 7.2 7.0 6.4

Source: templates/app/process

OS processes by Zabbix agent

Overview

This template is designed to monitor processes by Zabbix that work without any external scripts. Most of the metrics are collected in one go, thanks to Zabbix bulk data collection. For example, by specifying "zabbix" as macro value, you can monitor all zabbix processes.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.4 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

CentOS Linux 8
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

Install and setup Zabbix agent.

Custom processes set in macros:

{$PROC.NAME.MATCHES}
{$PROC.NAME.NOT_MATCHES}

Macros used

Name	Description	Default
{$PROC.NAME.MATCHES}	This macro is used in the discovery of processes. It can be overridden on a host-level or on a linked template-level.	`<CHANGE VALUE>`
