Zabbix Template for Asus WRT Merlin Routers

LICENSE VERSION


OVERVIEW

If you want to monitor your Asus SOHO router with a Zabbix agent, this template provides some useful monitoring items, triggers, graphs and more. It targets Asus WRT routers with the Merlin firmware installed.
The release comes with two templates, one for passive Zabbix Agent checks and one for active checks.

The main focus is on monitoring specific Asus WRT Merlin router items.


REQUIREMENTS


SETUP

  • Configure the Zabbix Agent configuration file:
    • Use Server= parameter with your Zabbix Server IP/Hostname
    • Add AllowKey=system.run[*] parameter (necessary for custom checks)
    • Add AllowRoot=1 parameter (necessary since no Zabbix user is created)
      Zabbix forum discussion



For general Linux items, it is recommended to link your host to the official Linux template, which provides several items for monitoring, including CPU, memory, disk and bandwidth information.
