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 by way of JavaScript preprocessing – how to emulate a scenario in an automated fashion and get alerted in case of any problems.
In this blog post, you will learn how to set up manual ticket creation through the use of Zabbix frontend scripts. We will use Jira Service Desk as an example, but this guide should work for any type of service desk or help desk system, as we can apply this technique for other systems in a similar fashion.
Overrides is an often overlooked feature of Low-level discovery that makes the discovery of different entities in your environment so much more flexible. In this blog post, we will take a look at how overrides work and how we can use them to extend our Low-level discovery rules with additional logic.

When you have devices spread across different locations and monitor these with a single Zabbix instance, you’ll encounter a challenge managing the various latencies to each location, especially when these locations span the world. Ping times can vary wildly from 10ms to 500ms and more depending on the internet connections.

New improvements might be unnoticed by many Zabbix users since they come to scalability, rather than to new features or some aspects of the user interface experience. However, these improvements might be beneficial for those Zabbix users who run really large instances.
In earlier Zabbix versions, we had three categories of things we could manage inside the instance — triggers, calculated items, and aggregated items. Each of them had its own syntax, so we could not be sure what syntax to use in a certain case. That’s why we introduced the unified syntax for every category inside the monitoring tool that will ease up the documentation task and the configuration process. To appreciate the innovation, we need to recap these three categories in Zabbix.
