Integrations

This week’s blog entry comes to us from Nyein Chan Zaw, who is based in Bangkok, Thailand and works as an Infrastructure Specialist for Green Will Solution. Read on to see how he uses his integrating a Modbus protocol with Zabbix to monitor data from temperature, humidity, and smoke sensors — and display their metrics […]

In this article, we will explore a practical example of using the zabbix_utils library to solve a non-trivial task – obtaining a list of alert recipients for triggers associated with a specific Zabbix host. You will learn how to easily automate the process of collecting this information, and see examples of real code that can […]

Zabbix plays a crucial role in monitoring all kinds of “things” – IoT devices, domains, cloud infrastructures and more. It can also be integrated with third-party solutions – for example, with Oxidized for configuration backup monitoring. Given the nature of Zabbix, it usually contains a lot of confidential information as well as (more importantly) some […]

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 […]

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.

Monitoring Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources is crucial for maintaining optimal performance, security, and cost-efficiency. By continuously monitoring resources such as compute instances, storage, databases, and networking components, you can proactively identify and address potential issues before they escalate, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery.

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.

Cloud-based service platforms are becoming increasingly popular, and one of the most widely adopted is Amazon Web Services (AWS). Like many cloud services, AWS charges a user fee, which has led many users to look for a breakdown of which specific services they are being charged for. Fortunately, Zabbix has an AWS Cost Explorer over […]

In this blog post, we will talk about maintaining and storing the Zabbix API session key in an automated fashion. The blog post builds upon the Close problem automatically via Zabbix API subject and can be used as extra configuration for this particular use-case. The blog post also shares a great example of synthetic monitoring […]

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 […]

Recently, Whatsapp pushed their new privacy policy where they announced to share more data with Facebook, causing an exodus to other platforms, where Signal is one of the more popular ones, among Telegram. Both are great alternatives, but I prefer Signal due to the open-source part, end to end encryption, and last but not least: […]
