Given self-isolation and no chance to get back to the latest news in person or at events and conventions, I decided to have a quick sit-down with the one and only Alexei Vladishev, the CEO and founder of Zabbix, to check how things are going, what we plan for the future, what the current situation in the company is, and so forth.
Maps — one of many visualization options inside the Zabbix, a way to display your collected data, show the problems and create your topology. A map is more than a simple picture. It includes many small but very useful key features.
Low-level discovery (LLD) functionality allows you to dynamically monitor all your environment for metrics that can change from time to time, and also can be and are different between multiple servers. Zabbix monitoring software will connect to the device, check for entities that exist on it, and based on discovery output create regular items and triggers.
Zabbix Monitoring Solution is now available through Red Hat Marketplace, an open cloud marketplace that makes it easier to discover and access certified software for container-based environments across the hybrid cloud. Through the marketplace, customers can take advantage of responsive support, streamlined billing and contracting, simplified governance, and single-dashboard visibility across clouds.
Opensource ICT Solutions designed integration with Zabbix that makes it possible to monitor a big environment and use Opsgenie to centralize alerting and make the on-call scheduling for managers a lot easier. Read more and learn how to set up the integration in this post.
Network discovery is a good feature to simplify your daily routine on maintaining rapidly changing environment. Active registration is good, but it is limited only to hosts with Zabbix agent, while network discovery does not have any limitations.
With calculated items, you can create calculations based on other items. The values will be periodically calculated based on an arithmetical expression and done by the Zabbix server – nothing is performed on Zabbix agents or proxies.
Aggregate checks allow you to gather data from items within one or multiple host groups. Therefore, you can get overall information about your group, instead of one single host.
SNMP is the main protocol for monitoring network hardware which may be used in Zabbix — an all-in-one solution for monitoring a large number of objects in static (changing slowly) networks.
