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.
- Asus WRT Router with Merlin firmware
- Entware installed
- Zabbix agent installed
- You can try my Zabbix Agent installation script
- 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=1parameter (necessary since no Zabbix user is created)

- Use
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.
- This template has only been tested with Asus RT-AC86U / RT-AC87U / RT-AX86U routers running an Asus Merlin firmware.
- It should also work with other Asus routers.
