How to use Remote command functionality in Zabbix and what to keep in mind. Real life scenario of pro active monitoring of Windows services, to automatically start services that were stopped for any reason. And then use escalation support to notify people, if remote command did not help.
Julio Cesar Hegedus is currently responsible for a project to build a large Zabbix environment that supports multi-site fail-over. At Zabbix Summit 2019 he will focus on the lessons learned with Zabbix, sharing positive and negative aspects.
Being an experienced Zabbix expert, Wolfgang Alper has implemented a variety of creative projects. At this year’s Summit, his presentation will reveal how “Deutsche Telekom Technik GmbH” integrated lots of Zabbix-Server instances into their existing IBM NetCool ticket system. The main goal was to reuse the entire existing infrastructure and the attached business processes to work with alarms created by Zabbix.
We have asked Wolfgang a few questions about creativity while working with Zabbix.
With item pre-processing added to LLD workflow and new javascript pre-processing step, it’s possible to monitor a directory for its file changes.
Understanding website performance and Apache uptime should begin with external monitoring, i.e. Zabbix, which allows you to discover problems from a user’s perspective. Such problems involve:
With new preprocessing steps added to Zabbix in nearly every release, it became obvious that it’s impossible to predict every business case, so we had to come up with a universal solution. This, in turn, raised an important question – which embedded scripting language/engine to use.
Every monitoring system has to deal with three kinds of performance-related challenges.
Firstly, a good monitoring system must receive, process and record incoming data very quickly. Every microsecond counts here. This may not seem obvious from the start but when your system becomes large enough all the tiny fractions of seconds add up to become seconds if not minutes.
Munich Transport Corporation (MVG) is a division of an integrated service provider including electricity, gas and water utilities, as well as transportation services. Providing a daily service used by thousands of Munich residents and tourists, the company seeks for options to detect errors as fast as possible and efficiently deal with them.
Zabbix Team is very happy to announce the release of Zabbix 4.2!
Does Zabbix 4.2 answers The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Monitoring? Well, let’s have a closer look!
Zabbix Conference LatAm 2019 will take place on April 25-27 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. We asked Daniel Nasiloski, one of the announced speakers, to tell more about his speech, that promises to be really interesting.
