Website and web application monitoring can vary from simple use cases to complex multi-step scenarios. To fully cover the scope of modern website monitoring requirements, Zabbix has introduced Browser item, a new item type that brings with it multiple accompanying improvements for simulating browser behavior and collecting website metrics.

Zabbix 7.0 is so fast that in a small environment such as What’s up, home? it gets bored. Very bored. What does Zabbix do when it gets bored? It uses its new Selenium-based Browser item type and plays some Rock-Paper-Scissors against this blog site.

In my previous article, where we explored the TCO and ROI of open-source software, I raised topics that sparked substantive discussions, new research, and renewed insights. It is undeniable that we live in an era where collaboration and connectivity go beyond trends. They represent the foundation of current technology, especially in a world based on […]

Zabbix is an open-source monitoring tool designed to oversee multiple IT infrastructure components, including networks, servers, virtual machines, and cloud services. It operates using both agent-based and agentless monitoring methods. Agents can be installed on monitored devices to collect performance data and report back to a centralized Zabbix server.

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 […]

In recent years, the debate around total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investment (ROI) for open-source solutions has intensified, particularly within the scope of technology operations. With increasingly complex IT infrastructures and pressure to optimize costs, the choice between open-source and proprietary solutions has become a crucial strategic decision. By using a platform […]
