# Linux by Zabbix agent

## Overview

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

#### Notes on filesystem (FS) discovery:
- The ext4/3/2 FS 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.

## Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

## Tested versions

This template has been tested on:
- Linux OS

## Configuration

> Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the [Templates out of the box](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.0/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box) section.

## Setup

Install Zabbix agent on Linux OS following Zabbix [documentation](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.0/manual/concepts/agent#agent-on-unix-like-systems).
