If you are tired of administering the infrastructure on your own and would prefer to gain time to focus on real monitoring activities rather than costly platform upgrades, you can easily lift and shift your MySQL-based Zabbix installation stack to Oracle Cloud.
It is not a secret that Zabbix maintains package repositories for multiple GNU/Linux distributions to make installing the software and staying up to date with the latest releases as easy as possible. To make use of the official Zabbix packages one should follow the instructions on https://www.zabbix.com/download. In this article, we would like to talk about some common points of confusion that people have when using Zabbix packages.
Zabbix is a universal open-source enterprise-level monitoring solution, therefore Zabbix has all the enterprise-grade features included: SSO, distributed monitoring, Zabbix Insights, advanced security, no data storage limits, and much more. Zabbix 5.2 offers over 35 new features and functional improvements.
Today we are talking about a use case when it’s impossible to find a proper way to write a recovery expression for the Zabbix trigger. In other words, we know how to identify problems. But there is no good way to detect when the problem is gone.
In this lab we will use a bash environment and utilities ‘curl’ and ‘jq’ to perform Zabbix API calls, do some scripting.
Zabbix API calls can be used through the graphical user interface (GUI), no need to jump to scripting. An application to perform API calls is called Postman.
Sometimes we need much more than collecting generic data from our servers or network devices. For high-frequency monitoring, we need functionality to offload сore components from the extensive load. Throttling is the exact thing that will allow you to drop repetitive values on a Pre-processing level and collect only changing values.
Zabbix Summit 2020 was supposed to be the greatest Zabbix event of the decade – we planned to celebrate the 10th anniversary Zabbix Summit. But the very different 2020 circumstances intervened, and we had to adjust to the new reality and shift our focus. It so happened that in 2020 we held not the tenth anniversary but the first online Zabbix summit.
Alexander Sergunin is a man of a kind. He leads a sales team in Zabbix, takes an active part in the Zabbix activities, and creates a friendly and productive atmosphere in the Zabbix office. At Zabbix Summit Online 2020, he will talk about professional services the Zabbix team offers. We asked Alexander how Zabbix and clients’ requirements have changed over the eight years he worked in the company.
