To provide monitoring for network devices like switches and routers, Zabbix offers specific models for the device chassis and network interfaces. These models help monitor various aspects of network devices. Starting from Zabbix 3.4, templates are provided for many families of network devices. These templates cover a range of monitoring and inventory collection tasks for network devices. Here's an overview of what these templates offer:
Chassis Monitoring: - Chassis fault monitoring, including power supplies, fans, and temperature. - Overall chassis status monitoring. - Chassis performance monitoring, including CPU and memory items. - Chassis inventory collection, gathering information like serial numbers, model names, and firmware versions.
Network Interface Monitoring: - Monitoring network interfaces using standard MIBs like IF-MIB and EtherLike-MIB. - Tracking interface status, interface traffic load, and duplex status for Ethernet interfaces.
These network device templates are available in the following ways:
In New Installations: You can find these templates in the Zabbix frontend under Data collection → Templates.
Upgrading from Previous Versions: Templates can be found in the zabbix/templates directory of the downloaded latest Zabbix version. Import these templates manually from this directory through the Zabbix frontend by going to Data collection → Templates.
If you decide to import the new out-of-the-box templates, it's recommended to update the @Network interfaces for discovery
global regular expression. This can help filter out unnecessary interfaces during the discovery process. You can update it with the following expressions to exclude loopback and null interfaces on most systems:
Result is FALSE: ^Software Loopback Interface
Result is FALSE: ^(In)?[lL]oop[bB]ack[0-9._]*$
Result is FALSE: ^NULL[0-9.]*$
Result is FALSE: ^[lL]o[0-9.]*$
Result is FALSE: ^[sS]ystem$
Result is FALSE: ^Nu[0-9.]*$
This way, you can ensure that only relevant network interfaces are discovered and monitored by Zabbix.
Here is the continuation of the list of device families for which templates are available in Zabbix:
Template name | Vendor | Device family | Known models | OS | MIBs used | Tags |

This completes the list of device families and associated templates available in Zabbix for network device monitoring. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
Templates zijn ontworpen met het volgende in gedachten:
Alle ontdekte netwerkinterfaces hebben een trigger die de operationele status (link) bewaakt, bijvoorbeeld:
{$IFCONTROL:"{#IFNAME}"}=1 en last(/Alcatel Timetra TiMOS SNMP/net.if.status[ifOperStatus.{#SNMPINDEX}])=2 en (last(/Alcatel Timetra TiMOS SNMP/net.if.status[ifOperStatus.{#SNMPINDEX}],#1)<>last(/Alcatel Timetra TiMOS SNMP/net.if.status[ifOperStatus.{#SNMPINDEX}],#2))
waar Gi0/0 staat voor {#IFNAME}. Op die manier wordt de trigger niet meer gebruikt voor deze specifieke interface.
