Written by Rahul, Updated on September 10, 2019

Zabbix server is rich in template tools which contain lots of predefined templates which we can easily be used with your hosts. As you are on this page, you may have already configured Zabbix server on your server and Zabbix client on remote systems to be the monitor. You can refer to tutorials for the installation of Zabbix Server and Zabbix client on Linux and Windows server.

    Thanks for writing this article. It helped a lot in setting up an Asterisk Agent. Your pictures are very easy to understand. Would be nice to know more about active and passive agents.
