Zabbix has a bunch of processes internally, and we've already covered a few; we enabled IPMI and VMware pollers, as well as SNMP trappers. For several of these, we're also able to configure how many processes to start. How can we know whether one process is enough or maybe we should have a hundred of them? We'll discuss general guidelines per type a bit later, but a very important thing to know is how busy the currently running processes are. There're internal items for this purpose as well. For these items, the general syntax is as follows:
zabbix[process,<type>,<mode>,<state>]
The parameters in the preceding code are explained as follows:
- The first parameter, process, is a fixed keyword.
- The second parameter, ...
