Creating maps to keep an eye on infrastructure
Maps in Zabbix are a great way to get an overview of infrastructure. For instance, they’re amazing for following traffic flows or seeing where something is going off in your environment. They’re not only super-useful for network overviews but also for server management overviews, and even for a lot of cool customization.
Maps are super useful, and we use them a lot in environments we build. Since we love maps so much, we’ve also taken the liberty of opening a feature request suggesting some collected map improvements to make them even better: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-7680.
Getting ready
We will need our Zabbix server, our SNMP-monitored host, and the templates from the previous recipe.
How to do it…
Follow these steps:
- Let’s start this recipe off by navigating to Data collection | Templates and selecting our Custom Linux by SNMP template.
- Go to Discovery rules...
