In this article, we’ll explore how to use Zabbix to monitor a MikroTik device via SNMP, using specific templates that allow you to visualize the status of interfaces and their performance. Read on to understand how to use network monitoring to ensure the correct operation and performance of devices in an infrastructure employing the SNMP protocol.
A well-designed monitoring dashboard is the key to helping users process, interact with, and analyze data. Done right, it allows key decision-makers to track metrics and gain insights in an organized, easy-to-read format, while giving technical teams complete visibility into IT performance at a single glance. Done wrong, it creates information overload, with too much of everything – too many graphs, colors, widgets, and other sources of information, making it at best deceptive and at worst completely useless.
In order to stay on top of a constantly-evolving cybersecurity landscape, the European Union has made the Network and Information Security (NIS2) Directive the cornerstone of their efforts to guarantee a uniform level of cybersecurity across all member states.
Introduced in 2020 and coming into effect on January 16, 2023, the NIS2 Directive is a continuation and expansion of NIS, the previous EU cybersecurity directive. NIS2 strengthens NIS, expands its scope, and introduces new requirements to help protect vital infrastructure, critical services, and key sectors from cyber threats.

Zabbix is dedicated to monitoring IT infrastructures based on predetermined thresholds, such as servers, networks, and applications. Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into Zabbix as a complement allows a user to mitigate alerts based on these predetermined thresholds, offering possible causes and solutions to problems. This can help a user resolve incidents more efficiently.
