  - new template

List of templates:

Notes and Guidelines:

Each template has own version tag which is the copy of the whole zabbix-templates package version tag in which last changes has released
Each template in the description field has the last modification date and internal version
If it is something which needs to be done to use those templates it is described in each template within description notes
Naming convention for the items names, applications and triggers must adhere naming convention using 2-4 letter abbreviations:
```
<CLASS>::<Name>
<CLASS>::<SUBCLASS>::<Name>
```
Items Examples:
```
HW::CPU
MEM::Total Memory
NET::ICMP::Loss
NTP::WTS::Clock Frequency Adjustment
```
Above provide a parseable name, allowing us to distinguish between and categorise those objects. Such convention allows to handle use the pattern in alarming layer allowing on define actions. For example, send all trigger with SYS:: in the beginning name of the template to exact team. Such pattern is possible to use as part of the general interface on communication with external services.
Do not use {HOSTNAME} macros in triggers. In web frontend from Monitoring -> Triggers table has "host" column with the host name of the the active trigger. Repeating second time this hos name in the trigger name it is waste of space on the web page.
All zabbix agent items should be specified as zabbix agent (active) items.
All graphs resolution needs to be 1200x300.
All SNMP items should be as SNMPv2 and {$SNMP_COMMUNITY} as SNMP read community name.

Reason of use in all templates the same graphs resolution, item types and SNMP protocol version and community name is to provide easy way to change those settings across all templates is someone may need this.
