To set the threshold for monitoring items in Zabbix, you can follow the steps below:

Log in to the web interface of Zabbix.
Navigate to the “Configuration” tab and then select either “Host” or “Template” to locate the monitoring item for which you want to set a threshold.
Click on the monitoring item for which you want to set the threshold, and then go to the “Triggers” tab.
On the “Triggers” tab, you can configure the expression of a trigger to generate an alert when the monitored item reaches or exceeds a specified threshold. In the expression, you can use functions, operators, and macros to define the conditions of the threshold.
After setting up the trigger expression, you can choose the priority, notification method, and other configuration options for the trigger.
After saving the settings, Zabbix will monitor the monitored items based on the threshold conditions you set, and trigger alert notifications when the threshold is reached or exceeded.

By following the steps above, you can set thresholds for monitoring items in Zabbix and receive alert notifications promptly to address issues in a timely manner.
