The heart and soul of a Zabbix Summit is the wide range of expert speakers who show up each year to share their experience, knowledge, and discoveries. Accordingly, we’re continuing our series of interviews with Summit 2024 speakers by having a chat with MariaDB Sales Engineer Anders Karlsson. He’ll grace our stage at Summit 2024 to talk about his 4 decades of work experience and share how he uses a variety of Zabbix features to monitor MariaDB clusters and MariaDB MaxScale.
As the Vice President of Compliance and Policy at fTLD Registry Services, Heather Diaz is a security expert with over a decade of experience in ensuring the legal, compliance, and strategic alignment of the top-level domains .Bank and .Insurance. She is a compliance and ethics professional and leads the policy and security compliance functions at fTLD.
We sat down with her to learn more about how Zabbix makes her job easier, why she appreciates the inherent flexibility of our solutions, and how she works with our team to help make sure fTLD’s domains are as secure as they can possibly be.

October means different things to different people – it’s springtime in the Southern Hemisphere, autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and Summit time if you’re a member of the Zabbix community! Summit time, of course, means the biggest of all Zabbix events, gathering the global Zabbix community in one place to have fun together and learn as much as we can from each other. Zabbix Summit 2024 will take place on October 3-5 in Riga at the Radisson Blu Hotel Latvija. Keep reading to find out more about what you can expect this year.
For a few years, I’ve been monitoring 3 Digital Ocean servers with Datadog and using Datadog DogStatsD to submit custom metrics to Datadog. I am a big fan of Datadog and will continue recommending them. However, it became a bit too expensive for my needs, so I started looking for alternative options.
At Zabbix, we’ve championed the open-source movement, with its emphasis on openness, transparency, and cooperation, from day one. Because of this, prospective customers and partners often have questions about the security of our product – the fear being that open-source software is somehow less secure than proprietary software.
The objective of this project was to establish a robust and integrated environment for the continuous monitoring of code quality and performance metrics. To achieve this, SonarQube, an open-source platform for the continuous inspection of code quality, was installed on AlmaLinux. Following its setup, SonarQube was seamlessly integrated with Zabbix, an enterprise-class open-source distributed monitoring solution, to enable the dynamic monitoring of various projects. This integration aimed to provide our team at Zen Networks with real-time visibility into key metrics such as bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells for ongoing projects.
QU!CK Scan & Go, a startup specializing in self-service markets, required a monitoring system that could allow a comprehensive view of operations. Read on to see how Zabbix provided them with a solution that positively impacted their operations as well as their finances.
A top-level domain (TLD) is the part of a URL that comes after the last dot in a domain name. While most are familiar with the first TLDs of .com, .net, and .org, there are more than 1,400 TLDs. fTLD Registry (fTLD) is a global coalition of banks, insurance companies, and financial services trade associations who ensure the .Bank and .Insurance TLDs are governed in the best interests of the financial sector and their customers.

As Zabbix got the new fantastic Selenium-based synthetic web tests, you will now have a new component to monitor. How do you monitor Selenium? With Zabbix, of course! If you are impatient, feel free to download my very bare-bones example template.
An audit improves the security of a product, specifically the “non-repudiation” aspect in threat-models (risks are reduced when threat-agents cannot deny they did malicious activity). Zabbix 5.0 already had audit functionality, which received a major rewrite in 6.0 and several updates since then. In this blog post, we will go through them and get an overall picture of what has changed (and why).
