Can you monitor the regular use of facial cream with Zabbix? Of course, you can! Here’s how. This same method could be very useful for monitoring if the elderly remember to take their meds or so.
Monitor and react to unexpected or faulty outputs from your monitoring targets by using Zabbix validation preprocessing. In case…
Welcome to my weekly blog about how I monitor my home with Zabbix. Like Batman, I have a casual day job as a monitoring tech lead, and by night I tinker around with my home Zabbix. (Except that Batman does not do monitoring, or who knows.)
This week, I advanced my project on multiple fronts, so welcome to this little smorgasbord of different topics. In my future posts, I will go deeper into each topic as my project goes forward.
Analyze your incoming metrics and look for interruptions in continuously increasing or decreasing metrics with the monoinc and monodec…
In my previous blog post, I wrote about how I monitor my home with Zabbix. This week, I am showing how I utilize Grafana to visualize the data collected by Zabbix and what are my plans to further improve all this.
Automate host creation and monitoring with Zabbix network discovery. Creating hosts for a large number of monitoring endpoints can…

It’s free, it’s open-source, and scales to whatever needs you might have.
Configure and deploy flexible business services and monitor the availability of your business and its individual components. The availability…
In this blog post, I will cover Docker container monitoring with Zabbix. We will use the official Docker by Zabbix agent 2 template to make things as simple as possible. The template download link and configuration steps can be found on the Zabbix Integrations page. If you require a visual guide, I invite you to check out my video covering this topic.
Track the creation of new entities, updates to the existing configuration, and potential intrusion attempts with Zabbix audit log.…
We say Zabbix is a universal monitoring system, which is true. In many cases, the Zabbix potential is limited only by knowledge and the ability to use all the functions properly. That is why various training materials, including books, are so important. Nathan Liefting and Brian van Baekel recently presented their new Monitoring Cookbook on Zabbix 6.0 features and made a huge contribution to the existing knowledge pool. One of the book’s authors kindly agreed to tell us more about the issue.
