====== Check if systemd service is running via Zabbix ======
===== Zabbix version 4.0.39 =====

Firstly the zabbix agent running on the server must be allowed to execute remote commands, so update your //zabbix_agentd.conf// by setting

  EnableRemoteCommands=1

Restart zabbix agent.

Then you can create an item of type "Zabbix agent", type of information "Text" and with following expression:

  system.run["systemctl is-active myservice.service"]



Now create a trigger from this Item. Add the following Expression and change the hostname to yours

  {host1.example.org:system.run["systemctl is-active gobgpd.service"].iregexp(inactive)}=1

If using a template trigger, replace the host with template name:
  
  {Role bgp host:system.run["systemctl is-active myservice.service"].iregexp(inactive)}=1
