initial "rules" for the new zabbix templates at https://zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/specs/ZBXNEXT-973 |
Comment by Andrew Howell [ 2012 Feb 05 ] |
Just read the spec, great Can I suggest that templates should use macros for trigger thresholds that people may want to change for individual hosts (such as load average, or number of processes) |
Comment by dimir [ 2012 Feb 06 ] |
Yep, we are keeping that in mind for new templates. |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2012 Apr 19 ] |
New set of templates was integrated into trunk revision 26979, more to come. |
Comment by Andrew Howell [ 2012 Apr 21 ] |
Any chance they could be put somewhere so we can import them? |

I have noticed three issues with the new templates. (1) Template SNMP Disks lacks graph prototypes for discovered storages. Graph prototypes can be defined in the same way as for Mounted filesystem discovery in Template OS Linux. (2) Same as the above issue with Template SNMP Processors. (3) The default graph width of 400 pixels is not enough for disk space usage graphs, because partition/filesystem/volume names can be quite long. |

Changing assignee. |

(4) SNMP values sysName, sysDescr, sysContact, sysLocation as well as data from 'uname -a' could be used to populate corresponding host inventory fields by default. |

(5) Templates FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Mac OS X lack low level discovery rules for network interfaces. |

(6) There is a graph for Zabbix Server Performance in the Template Application Zabbix Server. This graph currently displays only one value - items processed per second. Previously there was Zabbix queue value on that graph too. |

(7) There are unsupported items in Template OS Windows: Should "system[procrunning]" be changed to "proc.num[,,run]"? |
Comment by Jens Berthold [ 2012 May 04 ] |
The PerfCounter keys depend on the operating system language. They should all be changed to the corresponding numbers: |
Comment by Sergey Syreskin [ 2012 May 05 ] |
proc.num item accepts only 2 parameters for Windows hosts. Example: proc.num[] - works, proc.num[,] - works, proc.num[,,] - ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED. Thanks, Jens, numerical perf_counters work well. |
Comment by Sergey Syreskin [ 2012 May 05 ] |
(8) In Template OS Windows in graph prototype for disk usage items for total disk space and free disk space should be interchanged with eachother, otherwise disk usage graph is incorrect. |
Comment by Kendall Green [ 2012 May 16 ] |
Can new templates for items and formulas associate device class from MIB/OID snmpwalk for discovery policy to automatically create inherit groups of hosts, items, applications, and services? Perhaps this is already being integrated into advanced discovery? |
Comment by Sergey Syreskin [ 2012 Jul 02 ] |
There are no predefined graphs for memory usage in OS templates. |
Comment by Eugene Varnavsky [ 2012 Oct 03 ] |
I made a template for APC Network Management Card 2. |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Oct 04 ] |
please, create a new zbxnext and attach it there you can also upload it in zabbix.org wiki and link to it from https://zabbix.org/wiki/Zabbix_Templates |
Comment by Sergey Syreskin [ 2012 Nov 15 ] |
In Template OS Linux the Incoming/Outgoing traffic items (net.if.in/out) have a user multiplier of 8. As I understand, that means that traffic is counted in Bytes. However the unit for these items is "bps", which means "bit per second". If I am correct, units should be changed to "Bps" - "Bytes per second". Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kbps The same applies to other OS templates. |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Nov 15 ] |
no, it's the other way around |
Comment by Sergey Syreskin [ 2012 Nov 15 ] |
Oh, stupid me! |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Dec 08 ] |
i guess we can close this one, other problems should go in new issues |
Comment by Paul D. Walker [ 2014 Apr 22 ] |
Sorry to reply to an older, closed issue Jens Berthold, where did you find the number mapping between the performance counter names and the corresponding number? edit: nevermind. Answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5581859/retrieve-performance-counter-value-in-a-language-independent-way the mapping is kept here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\009 |
