Zabbix for Beginners- 05- Working with Zabbix - Part 4 - Auto Discovery

Computer Based Training for all

Einstein:"If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough" For most people who are beginners in IT, learning new technology seems a bit scary. My goal is making the problem simple and giving the step-by-step solutions. So at CBT4All, we cover Academic and Professional issues and try to handle them step-by-step in the simplest way. I'm not claiming that these pages are complete or perfect, but I try to do my best just for helping. Please corporate with me to improve it...

MAP: Helps to have an overview of your infrastructure You can check all of your connectivity in one screen. Needs to be configured. Steps:

1. TAP: Think and plan (my term!). Think about the criteria you need to relay on. As I want to check only the availability, so I would ping the hosts.
2.  Add the Template ICMP Ping to your hosts.
3. Create new map or like me use the exist map (Configuration → Maps)
4. Add the hosts and change the symbol if you want to
5. Create a link between your hosts and Zabbix Server and add the trigger you want

1. Create new screen
2. Select row and columns
3. Choose what do you want to show
