Zabbix is being constantly improved – functionality, usability and also performance wise. Let’s look at some practical effects on what all these performance improvements have provided in 1.8 series.
As some might recall, Zabbix 1.8 alone was promising a huge performance improvement. Back in February we actually got a confirmation on that, thanks to Zabbix user verwilst. In the first part, let’s rehash what we found out that time regarding upgrade from 1.6 to 1.8.1.
Zabbix has proven itself successful as an IT monitoring solution when there is a need to oversee the health of hundreds and thousands of servers. However, there is no reason to think that such a powerful system can only do just that – monitor computers. In the first such post today, we will try to uncover the potential of how Zabbix can be used in a multitude of different ways.
I spent a couple of wonderful days at FrOScon 2010 conference recently. I was mostly interested in NoSQL track due to possible implementation of a high performance storage for Zabbix historical data. However after a few presentations I realized that the topic requires more in-depth research, there are so many NoSQL engines around each with its own functionality and feature set.
Tap, tap… anybody out there? Zabbix, while being a really great monitoring solution, did not have that many things…
Zabbix 6.4 introduced major improvements to SNMP monitoring, especially when it comes to collecting large numbers of metrics from a single device. This is done by utilizing master-dependent item logic and combining it with low-level discovery and newly introduced preprocessing rules. This blog post will cover the drawbacks of the legacy SNMP monitoring approach, the benefits of the new approach, and the steps required to deploy bulk SNMP metric collection.
With just a few days remaining until Zabbix Summit 2023, our series of speaker interviews draws to a close as we talk to Opensource ICT Solutions trainer and consultant Nathan Liefting about how he worked with Adan Mohamed of Boldyn Networks to monitor the London Underground with Zabbix.
To help everyone in our community get up to speed with Zabbix Summit speakers and their topics, we’re continuing our series of interviews and sitting down for a chat with Marianna Portela of Brazilian mass media conglomerate Globo. Read on to get a preview of her Summit speech topic and see how she uses Zabbix to bring massive live events to millions of users around the globe.
Servers are the foundation of a company’s IT infrastructure, and the cost of server downtime can include anything from days without system access to the loss of important business data. This can lead to operational issues, service outages, and steep repair costs.
Viewed against this backdrop, server monitoring is an investment with massive benefits to any organization. The latest generation of server monitoring tools make it easier to assess server health and deal with any underlying issues as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Your company’s network is the glue that bonds your enterprise together. The technology of networking is growing more stable and reliable all the time, but it doesn’t mean you can leave your network unattended – quality network monitoring is an absolute must-have.
With Zabbix Summit 2023 almost upon us, we’ve prepared a short and direct interview with Summit presenter Dr. Hiroshi Abe. Dr. Abe, a Research Engineer at the Toyota Motor Corporation, will share his thoughts about how Zabbix is the ideal solution when it comes to monitoring green power and distributed edge computing.
In preparation for Zabbix Summit 2023, we sat down for a short chat with Rihards Olups, a SaaS Architect at Nokia and a man who has devoted his career to battling the problem of alert fatigue.
Zabbix Summit 2023 is just around the corner, and with that in mind we’ve decided to whet your appetite by providing a sneak peek at just a few of the distinguished speakers who have graciously agreed to present at this year’s Summit in the form of a short and direct interview. Read on to hear from Giedrius Stasiulionis, an IT Solution Expert at SEB Bank and a true master of log monitoring.
