Hi,

We have two Zabbix servers monitoring each other.

Primary monitors itself, Secondary and all other hosts.  Secondary monitors itself and primary only.  The goal is that if there is an issue with the primary server the secondary should alert us and vice versa.

To this end, we've added an item to count the number of Zabbix Server processes "proc.num[zabbix_server]" with an associated trigger "{Template App Zabbix Server:proc.num[zabbix_server].last()}=0" to alert us should the Zabbix Server processes fail, i.e. Zabbix Server down.

I think this would be a good addition to the default templates, it's also useful to be able to trend the process count over time to see when modifications to the process counts are made, for example increasing pollers etc.

The same applies to the Zabbix Proxy template.
