# 1 Zabbix agent template operation

Steps to ensure correct operation of templates that collect metrics with [Zabbix agent](/manual/concepts/agent):

1. Make sure that Zabbix agent is installed on the host. For active checks, also make sure that the Zabbix server/proxy address is added to the 'ServerActive' parameter of the agent [configuration file](/manual/appendix/config/zabbix_agentd#serveractive).
2. [Link](/manual/config/templates/linking#linking-a-template) the template to a target host (if the template is not available in your Zabbix installation, you may need to import the template's .yaml file first - see [Templates out-of-the-box](/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box) section for instructions).
3. If necessary, adjust the values of template macros.
4. Configure the instance being monitored to allow data sharing with
Zabbix.

A detailed description of a template, including the full list of macros, items, and triggers, is available in the template's README file (accessible by clicking on a template name). 

The following templates are available:
