Zabbix – Monitor an LDAP server
Access the Zabbix server dashboard and add the LDAP server as a Host.
Open your browser and enter the IP address of your web server plus /zabbix.

• Default Password: zabbix
After a successful login, you will be sent to the Zabbix Dashboard.
On the dashboard screen, access the Configuration menu and select the Host option.
On the top right of the screen, click on the Create host button.
Enter the following information:
• Host Name – Enter a Hostname to identify the LDAP server.
• Visible Hostname – Repeat the hostname.
• Group – Select the name of a group to identify similar devices.

Here is the new image with our configuration.
Next, we need to associate the host to a monitoring template.
Access the Templates tab on the top of the screen.
Click on the Select button and locate the template named: TEMPLATE APP LDAP SERVICE
Click on the Add button.
After a few minutes, you will be able to see the initial result on the Zabbix Dashboard.
