Can you monitor the signal strength of different Wi-Fi devices that are connected to your (home) router with Zabbix? Of course you can! This is a really quick post that also shows how ChatGPT or any LLM can boost your productivity when doing this kind of thing.
Monitoring data storage systems is the key to keeping modern IT systems running smoothly. With the rapid growth of data and the need for instant access, using high-performance solutions like Pure Storage FlashArray is not just an advantage – it’s a necessity. However, even the most advanced systems require careful oversight regarding their performance and health. Good monitoring helps find problems early and makes it possible to use resources more efficiently. In this article, we will explore how to set up monitoring for the Pure Storage FlashArray storage system with Zabbix using our new templates.
One of the most critical clients of our Premium Partners at the ATS Group is a large MSP that acts as a service and administration platform for their own clients, providing them with hardware, software, engineers, support staff, metrics, and reporting.
In this article, we’ll explore how to use Zabbix to monitor a MikroTik device via SNMP, using specific templates that allow you to visualize the status of interfaces and their performance. Read on to understand how to use network monitoring to ensure the correct operation and performance of devices in an infrastructure employing the SNMP protocol.
A well-designed monitoring dashboard is the key to helping users process, interact with, and analyze data. Done right, it allows key decision-makers to track metrics and gain insights in an organized, easy-to-read format, while giving technical teams complete visibility into IT performance at a single glance. Done wrong, it creates information overload, with too much of everything – too many graphs, colors, widgets, and other sources of information, making it at best deceptive and at worst completely useless.
In order to stay on top of a constantly-evolving cybersecurity landscape, the European Union has made the Network and Information Security (NIS2) Directive the cornerstone of their efforts to guarantee a uniform level of cybersecurity across all member states.
Introduced in 2020 and coming into effect on January 16, 2023, the NIS2 Directive is a continuation and expansion of NIS, the previous EU cybersecurity directive. NIS2 strengthens NIS, expands its scope, and introduces new requirements to help protect vital infrastructure, critical services, and key sectors from cyber threats.
Zabbix Conference Benelux 2025 is right around the corner, which means that it’s time for another interview with a Conference presenter. This week, we’re talking to Rick van der Ploeg, a Zabbix consultant and expert at Opensource ICT Solutions. We asked him about the road that led him to Zabbix and how frontend scripts can open the door to enhanced Zabbix functionality.
Our Premium Partners at the ATS Group have a regional telecom provider on the West Coast of the United States as one of their key clients. The provider covers a massive geographical area on a limited budget and serves thousands of (primarily rural) customers.
This year’s Zabbix Conference Benelux is rapidly approaching, and to whet our audience’s appetite we sat down for a short interview with one of the conference’s featured presenters. Open Source Consultant Ivo Schooneman works for our Certified Partner Xifeo ICT B.V., and we quizzed him about how he got started in the open-source movement, what led him down the path to Zabbix, and how he sees Zabbix and MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) fitting into a new world of connected and smart devices.
Zabbix is dedicated to monitoring IT infrastructures based on predetermined thresholds, such as servers, networks, and applications. Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into Zabbix as a complement allows a user to mitigate alerts based on these predetermined thresholds, offering possible causes and solutions to problems. This can help a user resolve incidents more efficiently.
