In this blog post, I will cover Docker container monitoring with Zabbix. We will use the official Docker by Zabbix agent 2 template to make things as simple as possible. The template download link and configuration steps can be found on the Zabbix Integrations page. If you require a visual guide, I invite you to […]

In this article, I will try to cover the theoretical models on monitoring your vehicle fleet with minimal to no cost at all by using the ELM327 microcontroller, a python library to process the collected data and a Zabbix proxy running on a small Raspberry Pi device to store and sent the collected metrics to […]

Zabbix Agent 2 enables our users to monitor a whole set of new systems with minimal configuration required on the monitored systems. Forget about writing custom monitoring scripts, deploying additional packages, or configuring ODBC. A great use-case for Zabbix Agent 2  is monitoring one of the most popular NoSQL DB backends – MongoDB. Below, you […]

There are many monitoring solutions and monitoring tools that you can use for different monitoring tasks. But in this post and video, we will focus only on Zabbix and the top five features making Zabbix the best choice to monitor your home office as well as enterprise instances or projects.

PostgresSQL is one of the supported database engines that Zabbix uses to store all configuration data and history. The popularity of Postgres makes it a very sought-after Database engine for Zabbix. TimescaleDB is a great extension to Postgres that empowers Zabbix with native partitioning functionality and data compression, which saves a lot of disk space […]

Zabbix recently released the new 5.2 version with awesome new features overviewed in the video, such as hashicorp vault, IoT monitoring, improved performance, granular permission system, and much more. The upgrade to the latest Zabbix 5.2 is fast and easy.

Sometimes we need much more than collecting generic data from our servers or network devices. For high-frequency monitoring, we need functionality to offload сore components from the extensive load. Throttling is the exact thing that will allow you to drop repetitive values on a Pre-processing level and collect only changing values.

Zabbix proxy is a major component in the whole Zabbix architecture. As a result, very often failure of one proxy can lead to dramatic results in all monitoring setup causing a storm of events and problems.

Multi-tenant architecture quite often is a primary requirement. When we think not only about monitoring our own infrastructure, but also about providing monitoring as a service for our customers, many questions come up in terms of design and required software functionality.

SNMP is one of the most used monitoring types inside Zabbix. But it is also one of the most frustrating tools to configure for newcomers. Even experienced guys tend to make simple mistakes during configuration, which later lead to a lot of issues with flapping items, interfaces, false-positive notifications, or even worse.

One of the most technically experienced Zabbix trainers – Dmitry Lamberts reveals his five important improvements that were included in Zabbix 5.0 LTS release. Read the recap from Zabbix Online Meetup in English where Dmitry shared his advice on new features.

Maps — one of many visualization options inside the Zabbix, a way to display your collected data, show the problems and create your topology. A map is more than a simple picture. It includes many small but very useful key features.
