In this chapter, we will look at the built-in capability of Zabbix to monitor web pages. We will check different sections of a web page and monitor it for failures, as well as monitoring download speed and response time. We'll also find out how Zabbix can extract a value from a page and then reuse that value. Besides more advanced scenarios and step-based solutions, we will also explore web-monitoring-related items that are available for the Zabbix agent.

In this chapter, the following topics will be covered:

• Monitoring a simple web page
• Logging into the Zabbix interface
• Authentication options
• Using agent items
