How To

As a Zabbix partner, we help customers worldwide with all their Zabbix needs, ranging from building a simple template all the way to (massive) turn-key implementations, trainings, and support contracts. Quite often during projects, we get the question, “How about making configuration backups of our network equipment? We need this, as another tool was also […]

Native integration between two leading open-source tools – Zabbix for network monitoring and rConfig for configuration management, delivers substantial benefits to organizations. On one side, Zabbix offers a platform that maintains a Single Source of Truth for network device inventories. It provides real-time monitoring, problem detection, alerting, and other critical features that are essential for […]

One of the new features in Zabbix 7.0 LTS is proxy load balancing. As the documentation says: Proxy load balancing allows monitoring hosts by a proxy group with automated distribution of hosts between proxies and high proxy availability. If one proxy from the proxy group goes offline, its hosts will be immediately distributed among other […]

In this blog post, I’ll guide you through building your own template to monitor the latest Zabbix releases directly from the Zabbix UI. Follow the simple walkthrough to know how.

In this article, we will explore the capabilities of the new asynchronous modules of the zabbix_utils library. Thanks to asynchronous execution, users can expect improved efficiency, reduced latency, and increased flexibility in interacting with Zabbix components, ultimately enabling them to create efficient and reliable monitoring solutions that meet their specific requirements.

The frontend is what we use to login into our system. The Zabbix frontend will connect to our Zabbix server and our database. But we also send information from our laptop to the frontend. It’s important that when we enter our credentials that we can do this in a safe way. So it makes sense […]

Scripts can extend Zabbix in various different aspects. If you know your ways around a CLI, you will be able to extend your monitoring capabilities and streamline workflows related to most Zabbix components.

My name is Mark Vilensky, and I’m currently the Scientific Computing Manager at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. I’ve been working in High-Performance Computing (HPC) for the past 15 years.

In this article, we will introduce you to the main capabilities of the newly released official zabbix_utils library and provide examples of how to use it with Zabbix components.

Zabbix 6.4 introduced major improvements to SNMP monitoring, especially when it comes to collecting large numbers of metrics from a single device. This is done by utilizing master-dependent item logic and combining it with low-level discovery and newly introduced preprocessing rules. This blog post will cover the drawbacks of the legacy SNMP monitoring approach, the […]

Zabbix is highly regarded for its ability to integrate with a variety of systems right out of the box. That list of systems has recently been expanded with the addition of Event-Driven Ansible. Bringing Zabbix and Event-Driven Ansible together lets you completely automate your IT processes, with Zabbix being the source of events and Ansible […]

In the previous Kubernetes monitoring blog post, we explored the functionality provided by the Kubernetes integration in Zabbix and discussed use cases for monitoring and alerting to events in a cluster, such as changes in replicas or CPU pressure.
