Monitoring large and distributed networks poses relevant challenges to Zabbix administrators as it requires to analyze different and complex failure scenarios. Simple approaches can help to improve default templates to get rid of notification floods, false positives, and other misleading alerts, and to let Zabbix driving you to the right root cause.
Today we will share knowledge on how to detect if time settings are off your Windows or Linux machine.
It’s easy to miss critical messages when you get tons of them every day from various platforms. The out-of-the-box Zabbix monitoring and alerting functionality makes it possible to focus on the most important alerts. Learn the best practices on how to set and use Zabbix notifications.
Remote commands are powerful yet underestimated feature of Zabbix to react on trigger-based events and fix basic issues automatically. However, they require a specific and complex setup to be used in a real-world environment.
Learn how to use Zabbix actions and remote commands in a productive environment and how to make your setup simple and robust.
After completing several stages to strengthen security procedures, Zabbix proudly announces that it has joined the CVE Program to assign CVE IDs to vulnerabilities affecting Zabbix products and projects.
In this post, we will consider a setup for legacy networks, which is, combined with some API calls to the DNS server, allows for updating the entries automatically and facilitating an automatic failover. This presentation was delivered by Brian van Baekel, an experienced consultant and Zabbix trainer at Opensource ICT Solutions B.V., The Netherlands during Zabbix Conference Benelux 2020.
Why do we recommend upgrading to the latest version? Zabbix 5.0 goes with improved stability, performance, and security, as well as provides technical support for the next five years. What’s important, Zabbix 5.0 supports TimescaleDB, which is designed to enhance performance and compresses the data.
Open-Future is a company based in Nossegem (Belgium), focused exclusively on the open-source market. Read the case showing how the company upgraded to Zabbix 4.4 and migrated from PostgreSQL table partitioning to PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB to ensure Zabbix support.
This guide describes how to integrate Zabbix 4.4 with Mattermost using the Zabbix Webhook feature and provides instructions on setting up a media type, a user and an action in Zabbix.
The case about how Apache Corporation put Zabbix to work helping satisfy special requirements in the Oil & Gas industry where it is common to have more than one industrial automation supplier across multiple production and processing facilities. Consolidated monitoring of complex IT infrastructure, OEM industrial devices/services, custom applications, and integration with other open-source solutions.
SNMP is one of the most used monitoring types inside Zabbix. But it is also one of the most frustrating tools to configure for newcomers. Even experienced guys tend to make simple mistakes during configuration, which later lead to a lot of issues with flapping items, interfaces, false-positive notifications, or even worse.
