Japan IT Week is the largest IT exhibition in Asia. Every year over 1400 companies join this event to present their products to the IT industry, to share their business knowledge and to gain new business opportunities. By now the last day of Japan IT Week is over and we want to share with you our experience of participating in this great event.
Zabbix team participated in the Latvian Big Cleanup Day 2012 on Saturday, April 21.
So far, upgrading from one development 1.9 release or 2.0.0 release candidate to another was not officially supported. Only…
This year Zabbix Company were sponsors at the RTU Karjeras Diena (Career Day) exhibition, which was organized by the students from Riga Technical University (RTU). Apart from being a sponsor of the event, the company also had its own booth and gave a presentation on Zabbix.
This is the interview I gave to Ludovic Valentin a few days ago. He is the maintainer of Monitoring-FR, very well known resource for those interested in monitoring solutions in France.
The first day of CeBIT has started in Hannover, and Zabbix has arrived there.
Here at the University of Hawaii at Manoa ITS department, we recently began using Zabbix. Before adopting Zabbix, we monitored our resources with a loosely integrated mix of several software components, including Cacti, MRTG, and uPortal. Having used this old system for quite a while, we have a considerable amount of data which is valuable for trending. So how do we switch to this great Zabbix system but retain all of our trending statistics? The instructions here describe how to convert data from either Cacti or MRTG and import it directly into Zabbix.
We are always curious to know where and how our software is used. Then add a natural desire for perpetual competition. Now you should understand why about 2 months ago we had asked all our newsletter readers to report us their Zabbix dashboard indicators.
We didn’t expect that so many of you will notice that small ad at the bottom of Christmas Eve’s newsletter inviting to take part in the competition 🙂 And so we were pleasantly surprised to receive so many replies.
There was not much time for blog articles during the conference. Or after that. But from the on-site experience and feedback it seems that the very first Zabbix conference was just a bit short of amazing.
Zabbix conference starts tomorrow. But many guests have already arrived, and preparation works are happening. Here’s a small insight with images into various processes.
The encoding, database and the dog
Zabbix provides a network map feature, where images may represent triggers, hosts, host groups etc. They may show current status, problem count and lots of other data. There are some default images that may be used in the maps, and users may also upload their own. This uploading has been a problem in the past.
