Make sure your host has a hsotname of ip address configured. This must be the address of the Fronius device to monitor ## Overview Introduction ============ This [Zabbix](https://www.zabbix.com/) template allows monitoring of Fronius devices such as inverters, dataloggers and smart loads through the [Fronius Solar API V1](https://www.fronius.com/en/photovoltaics/products/all-products/system-monitoring/open-interfaces/fronius-solar-api-json-). [![graph of solar usage showing energy used and generated](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wilsonwaters/zabbix-fronius/master/doc/fronius-graph.png "Example graph")](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wilsonwaters/zabbix-fronius/master/doc/fronius-graph.png) The template uses Zabbix dependent items to reduce the number of API calls made to the device. One API call is made and multiple dependent items use javascript pre-processing to parse the required field from the response.
