In this blog post, we will talk about aggregating different kinds of devices that are disconnected from the general network. Finding out how many devices per kind are “down” right now. This can be useful in the Internet Service Provider type of situation.
Most Zabbix users use proxies, and those running medium to large instances might have encountered some performance issues. From this post and the video, you will learn more about the most common troubleshooting steps to resolve any proxy issues and to detect them as sometimes you might be unaware of an ongoing issue, as well as basic performance tuning to prevent such issues in the future.
In this post and the video, you will learn about a proper approach to getting the most out of Zabbix and optimizing the underlying MySQL Database configuration to improve performance while working with a database-intensive application such as Zabbix.
The low-level discovery was introduced in Zabbix 2.0 and still belongs to one of the all-time favorites. Before LLD was available, adding items was all manual work. For example adding new disks, new interfaces, network ports on switches and everything else was all manual labor. And then LLD came around and suddenly we were able to ‘discover’ entities, and based on those discovered entities we can add new items, triggers, and such automatically.
In today’s topic let’s talk about section “Administration” => “Queue”.
Zabbix queue also called delayed metrics represents data that is currently missing inside the monitoring tool.
In this blog post, you will learn how to set up MySQL partitioning using existing community resources. If you wish to learn more about Zabbix MySQL database partitioning, check out this blog post for an extensive guide below.
This guide is meant to work for all most prominent MySQL features including MySQL 8, MariaDB or other MySQL forks. So whichever version or type you are running, this guide should be able to get you up and running.
In the previous blog posts, we created a Zabbix Server with a new user, a media type, and an action. In the 2nd blog post, we continued with creating and configuring a Zabbix Proxy. In the last part of this series of blog posts, we will install the Zabbix Agent on all of the 3 nodes we have running.
In the previous blog post, we created a Zabbix Server setup, created several users, a media type, and an action. But today, we will install on a 3rd node the Zabbix Proxy. This Zabbix Proxy will have its database running on the same host, so the “node-3” host has both the MySQL and Zabbix Proxy running.
Today we are focusing more on the automation of installation and software configuration instead of using the manual approach. Installing and configuring software the manual way takes a lot more time, you can easily make more errors by forgetting steps or making typos, and it will probably be a bit boring when you need to do this for a large number of servers.
This topic is related to template development from scratch, bulk data input, and a lot of dependable items having different preprocessing steps each.
