### Enable Zabbix FreeNAS Monitoring
- On FreeNAS server enable **SNMP** by going to **Services --> SNMP** and set it to **Running** and **Start Automatically** and enable **SSH** by going to **Services --> SSH** and set it to **Running** and **Start Automatically** (**Figure 7**).
**Figure 7**
- On FreeNAS server, under **Services**, click on **SSH --> Actions** and ensure **Log in as root with password** and **Allow password authentication** checkboxes are checked and click the **Save** button (**Figure 8**).
**Figure 8**
- On FreeNAS server, under **Services**, click on **SNMP --> Actions** and note the **Community** string (default is **public**) or change as required and optionally set the **Log Level** to **Info** if you wish to get more information out of FreeNAS and click the **Save** button (**Figure 9**).
**Figure 9**
- Using WinSCP or scp download the following file from the FreeNAS server:
```
/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/FREENAS-MIB.txt
```
- Upload the **FREENAS-MIB.txt** file to the Zabbix Docker server in the following directory:
```
/opt/zabbix-docker/zbx_env/var/lib/zabbix/mibs
```
- Restart the Zabbix docker stack:
```
cd /opt/zabbix-docker && docker-compose down
cd /opt/zabbix-docker && docker-compose up -d
```
- On the Zabbix server navigate to **Administration --> General --> GUI drop-down --> Macros** (**Figure 10**)
**Figure 10**
- Ensure the **Value** field of the **{$SNMP\_COMMUNITY}** Macro is set to **public** or whatever value you set the FreeNAS Community string from above and click the **Update** button (**Figure 11**).
**Figure 11**
- Using a web browser download the following templates from Zabbix Share:
###### SNMP Intefaces discovery

- On the Zabbix server navigate to **Configuration --> Templates --> Import** and import each of the templates you downloaded above ensuring the **Rules** are set like below before each import (**Figure 12**):
**Figure 12**
- On the Zabbix server navigate to **Configuration --> Hosts --> Create Host**
- In the **Host** tab, fill out the **Host name**, **groups** and **interfaces** where 1**92.168.xxx.xxx** is the IP of your FreeNAS host (**Figure 13**)
**Figure 13**
- In the **Templates** tab, ensure you link the **Template Module ICMP Ping** and the **Template SNMP FREENAS 11** templates and click the **Update** button (**Figure 14**)
**Figure 14**
- Wait 10-15 minutes before Zabbix starts pulling data from the FreeNAS server. If successful, **Monitoring --> Hosts** should show the FreeNAS server listed with **SNMP** turned green (**Figure 15**)
