Common Zabbix Monitoring Items: Chinese‑English Reference Guide
This article provides a Chinese‑English reference of frequently used Zabbix monitoring items, covering host groups, system metrics, file checks, network traffic, CPU/memory usage, and service checks, helping users configure and customize their Zabbix monitoring views.
Recently I have been researching the Zabbix network monitoring software and found its functionality satisfactory, but mature Chinese Zabbix forums are scarce, so I consulted the English user manual. I believe the software’s greatest strength is its customizable views that display host performance parameters and network status, and it also allows users to define monitoring items according to their specific needs.
Common Zabbix items with Chinese‑English correspondence:
HostGroups (设备组) → Hosts (设备) → Applications (监控项组) → Items (监控项) → Triggers (触发器) → Actions (告警动作) → Medias (告警方式) → UserGroups (用户组) → Users (用户)
Zabbix can monitor the following items: system.localtime system.run (remote command execution) web.page.get[localhost,,80] Date: Server: Last-Modified: ETag: Accept-Ranges: Content-Length: Vary: Connection: Content-Type: web.page.perf[localhost,,80] web.page.regexp[localhost,,80,OK] vfs.file.exists[/etc/passwd] vfs.file.time[/etc/passwd,modify] vfs.file.size[/etc/passwd] vfs.file.regexp[/etc/passwd,root] vfs.file.regmatch[/etc/passwd,root] (search file content) vfs.file.cksum[/etc/passwd] vfs.file.md5sum[/etc/passwd] net.tcp.dns[127.0.0.1,localhost] net.tcp.port[,80] system.hostname system.uname system.users.num log[logfile] eventlog[system] kernel.maxfiles kernel.maxproc
File system monitoring: vfs.fs.size[/,free] vfs.fs.inode[/,free] vfs.dev.read[sda,operations] vfs.dev.write[sda,sectors] net.tcp.listen[80]
Network traffic monitoring: net.if.in[lo,bytes] net.if.out[lo,bytes] net.if.total[lo,bytes] net.if.collisions[lo]
CPU/Memory usage monitoring: vm.memory.size[total] proc.num[inetd,,,] proc.mem[inetd,,] system.cpu.switches system.cpu.intr system.cpu.util[all,user,avg1] system.cpu.load[all,avg1] system.cpu.num[online] system.swap.size[all,free] system.swap.in[all] system.swap.out[all] system.uptime system.boottime
Zabbix service monitoring: net.tcp.service[ssh,127.0.0.1,22] net.tcp.service.perf[ssh,127.0.0.1,22]
