Solaris by Zabbix agent

Overview

It is an official Solaris OS template. It requires Zabbix agent 7.0 or newer.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

• Solaris OS

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

Install Zabbix agent on Solaris OS according to Zabbix documentation.

Macros used

Name	Description	Default
{$AGENT.TIMEOUT}	The timeout after which the agent is considered unavailable. It works only for the agents reachable from Zabbix server/proxy (in passive mode).	3m

Solaris: Zabbix agent availability	Monitoring agent availability status	Zabbix internal	zabbix[host,agent,available]
Solaris: Zabbix agent ping	The agent always returns 1 for this item. It could be used in combination with nodata() for the availability check.	Zabbix agent	agent.ping
Solaris: Get filesystems	The vfs.fs.get key acquires raw information set about the file systems. Later to be extracted by preprocessing in dependent items.	Zabbix agent	vfs.fs.get
