## Switch to "Templates" tab and add Blackboard Learn templates. "Template Learn Application Single Agent" template should be deployed on only one of the application nodes if you're running load balanced configuration. This is so Zabbix don't collect system-level duplicate data from every node. However, it also means the system-level information will be available only when you look at the node that you deployed the single agent template to. For database server, deploy "Template Learn Linux" or "Template Learn Windows" template only. Other templates do not apply to database server.

## Switch to "Macros" tab and add the following:
##* \{$BB_HOME}, where Blackboard Learn is installed.
##* \{$DISK}, a mount drive to be monitored (ex. xvda, sda). Run "cat /proc/diskstats" from the command line to determine this value. This is only required for Linux.
