This is a sample list of network-related metrics and incidents, monitored by Zabbix out of the box. See the full list in template descriptions. You can extend/customize the scope of monitored objects by adding new items, writing custom data collection scripts, building custom templates, etc
Use out-of-the-box templates to monitor all popular vendors' devices
Out-of-the-box templates come with preconfigured items, triggers, graphs, applications, screens, low-level discovery rules, web scenarios, etc
Key features and benefits
Flexible and extendable data gathering
Calculated and aggregated metrics. For example: sum of traffic between two ports on a network switch.
Preprocess collected data. For example: use regexp to extract some specific metric from legacy device.
