Building maps in Zabbix
Maps in Zabbix are a visual representation of your infrastructure. In maps, it is possible to see where the problems are in a visual way. Maps are a kind of interactive network diagrams where we connect individual elements with lines that can show us when a host is unreachable.
Getting ready
For this Zabbix recipe to work, we need a Zabbix server and a host with on server and host a Zabbix client installed. We also need to have the Zabbix server templates attached to the server and the Linux OS templates attached to both hosts. We obviously also need a Zabbix account with super administration rights.
How to do it...
Go in the Zabbix menu to Configuration | Maps.
We will see that there is already a map available. We can edit this one but in this case we will just start with a new map; so click the Create map button.
When we create a new map, we get a window where we have to give a name to our map. We can fill in the Name here of our network.
The Width and Height probably...
