=== Monitoring SME servers ===
If you installed zabbix-server on your SME, you'll certainly want to monitor itself. For this, you'll have to install zabbix-agent, and configure it to send reports on localhost:
If you want to monitor SME Servers with zabbix, you'll first need to install the agent as explained earlier, then
configure the agent to send informations to your server. For example, to monitor you local server (the one running zabbix-server):
db configuration setprop zabbix-agent Servers localhost
db configuration setprop zabbix-agent Servers localhost
signal-event zabbix-agent-update
signal-event zabbix-agent-update
Then, just add a host in zabbix, pointing to localhost. Remember, the default mode for the agent is active mode only, so you'll have to name this new host <hostname>.<domain.tld>, then enter 127.0.0.1 in the IP address field.

Now you can start adding items (type agent (active)) to this new host.

You can download [http://sme.firewall-services.com/downloads/zabbix/zabbix_SME.xml.zip here] an XML export of the templates I use to monitor some servers. Just extract the archive, and import it in zabbix (using the Import/Export menu of zabbix configuration)
It'll create some new templates in zabbix:
*Template_SME is for agents running in active mode (default of the contrib)
*Template_SME_dynip is for agents running in passive mode (I use it to monitor SME Servers with a dynamic IP address)
If you use one of this template, it'll configure a lot of items, graphs, triggers. Of course, you'll need to adjust it to your needs.
Those two templates are based on other templates you can use for other hosts (non SME):
*Template_all uses only icmp checks. It'll enable latency graphs and triggers if latency is too high or if the host is down
*Template_nutUPS can monitor the status of your UPS. It needs the UserParameters ups.load ups.battery.charge ups.status and ups.model which are allready configured on the agent on SME.
