It’s a very well known fact that Zabbix can only be installed on Linux. But what if you are in a Windows environment and getting a Linux machine is not so simple or even possible? This can obstruct the implementation of Zabbix, or at least significantly delay it. Not only that, building a POC outside of the future environment makes data procurement a lot more complicated. Is there a way to work around this and get Zabbix as close to Windows as we possibly can?
With the release of Zabbix 7.4, Zabbix users will be able to further extend their existing resource discovery workflows and enjoy a wastly improved user experience when it comes to configuring Zabbix entities. In addition, the latest release introduces multiple dashboard and network map improvements which will further enhance the visualization of infrastructure and resources.
Our Premium Partners at the ATS Group work with a large federal government agency in the United States. They primarily provide storage and compute-as-a-service for the agency, which relies on them to stay up and running at all times.

Created in 2010 following the merger of the Ministry of Transport and Water Management and the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning, and Environment, the ministry works to create an efficient network of roads, railways, waterways, and airways, effective water management to protect against flooding, and improved air and water quality.
If you find yourself needing additional flexibility when it comes to database monitoring, Zabbix agent 2 may be exactly what you need. Keep reading to see which features make it ideal for database monitoring and find out how to best use them for your own purposes.
As IT infrastructures grow increasingly complex, efficiently analyzing monitoring data and accelerating incident response have become critical challenges for operations teams. This post explores a few innovative applications of DeepSeek when integrated with Zabbix.
Many years ago, maybe around 2017 or 2018, one of my ex-colleagues (Hi, Kevin!) said that I would probably even use Zabbix to come up with the winning lotto numbers. Just to strike back, I did exactly that with a small “easter egg” in Zabbix containing the lotto numbers – a quick bash script feeding the Zabbix item.
When monitoring environments, we sometimes need to rely on third-party tools to better manage functionality and optimize responses to alerts. Let’s explore how to integrate Zabbix with PagerDuty, a real-time incident management solution designed to improve the reliability of digital services, including best practices and configuration details.
In today’s fast-paced, interconnected IT world, simply waiting for something to fail before fixing it isn’t good enough. A proactive approach to monitoring, which aims to identify and address potential issues before they escalate into major disruptions, is a necessity rather than a luxury.
Hosts, items, and triggers are some of the most basic concepts in Zabbix. To successfully configure their monitoring workflows, Zabbix users need to have a clear understanding of how these entities are used. This article is aimed at Zabbix beginners and should help anyone better understand the basics of Zabbix while providing guidance on how to start monitoring your initial set of hosts.
One of the great advantages of Zabbix is its extensible and modular architecture. This allows the platform to be enhanced with third-party modules, significantly expanding its functionalities without compromising the stability of the core system. The ECharts-Zabbix module is an excellent example of this flexibility in action.
Installing Zabbix from packages can feel overwhelming, due to the availability of different configuration options. The detailed and comprehensive documentation certainly helps to check the purpose of these multiple options, what values can be set in their fields, and if one is required for your planned deployment. There are quite a few official Zabbix blog posts about Zabbix in containers, and this post is aimed at showcasing how additional Zabbix components can be easily set up in a docker environment, along with docker run and docker compose examples.
