Zabbix 4 Network Monitoring - Third Edition

Creating test items and triggers

Let's create some test items and triggers that we can use for our SLA's. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Configuration | Hosts and click on Create host. Normally, items such as these would reside in different hosts, but for our test setup a single host will be best. Enter IT services in the Host name and Group fields and make sure no other groups are selected in the Groups select box, then click on the Add button at the bottom.
2. Switch to IT services in the Group drop-down menu, click on Items next to IT services, then click on Create item. This way, we create three different items with these settings:

• • Name: Code repository service
  • Type: Zabbix trapper
  • Key: code_repo
  • New application: IT services
