Zabbix Template: Linux by Zabbix agent

This is an official Linux template. It requires Zabbix agent 7.0 or newer.

Notes on filesystem (FS) discovery: - The ext4/3/2 filesystem reserves space for privileged usage, typically set at 5% by default. - BTRFS allocates a default of 10% of the volume for its own needs. - To mitigate potential disasters, FS usage triggers are based on the maximum available space. - Utilization formula: 'pused = 100 - 100 * (available / total - free + available)' - The FS utilization chart, derived from graph prototypes, reflects FS reserved space as the difference between used and available space from the total volume.

You can discuss this template or leave feedback on our forum https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-suggestions-and-feedback/387225-discussion-thread-for-official-zabbix-template-for-linux

No new trigger will be fired if this interface is down. 3. last(/TEMPLATE_NAME/METRIC,#1)<>last(/TEMPLATE_NAME/METRIC,#2) - the trigger fires only if the operational status was up to (1) sometime before (so, does not fire for "eternal off" interfaces.)
