Preprocessing is a great tool to make data collection precise and crystal clear. That’s why we prepared some great examples of how you can use that tool to achieve the same.
Some integration might require complex operations and data processing. So, at a certain point, if you have never used the API, you might need to use the API to solve some integration issues.
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.
Zabbix proxies allow you to monitor a remote location, a DMZ, and even use cases as using proxies to ‘convert’ passive checks into active or move some load from your Zabbix server towards the proxies is a common solution.
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.
Being on duty in a 24×7 IT team might not be fun. Planning duty schedules in Excel, having a shared on-call phone, or searching relevant information in a sea of emails makes it even worse. There is a better way. Integrating the lightweight alerting app SIGNL4 with Zabbix makes the life of an on-call engineer easier, and it allows the IT manager to see what’s going on at any time.
In this post, we’ll discuss how to secure your data sent through Zabbix from the database frontend to the database and the other way around.
The new whitelist and blacklist functionality in Zabbix 5.0 may help to secure your environment. Learn how and why using this functionality in the following blog post.
This post outlines how to use Zabbix and iLert with multiple on-call teams, where each team is responsible for a set of host groups in Zabbix, and therefore, will only receive alerts for the services it is responsible for. But first, let’s start with the basic needs when being on-call.
Zabbix supports many different monitoring approaches for different infrastructures. Data collection and analysis are just a part of the job. Once the data is collected, we need to set up proper notification channels and notify end-users of any problems or try and remedy the issues in an automated manner.
