In the previous blog posts, we created a Zabbix Server with a new user, a media type, and an action. In the 2nd blog post, we continued with creating and configuring a Zabbix Proxy. In the last part of this series of blog posts, we will install the Zabbix Agent on all of the 3 nodes we have running.
A big data analytics engine can be used to optimize large and complex Zabbix installations: keeping track of the amount and kind of problems over time, top alert producers, and much more. You can employ Splunk to optimize and analyze vital Zabbix runtime parameters, such as ‘unsupported items,’ repeatedly happening host availability issues, misconfigured agents, and Zabbix Queue entries.
In this post, a new approach with Zabbix in High Availability is explained, as well as discussed challenges when implementing Zabbix using Docker Swarm with CI / CD and such technologies as Containers, Docker Swarm, Gitlab, and CI/CD.
Top of the line point-to-point microwave equipment manufacturer SAF Tehnika has partnered with Zabbix to provide NMS capabilities to its end customers. SAF Tehnika appreciates Zabbix’s customizability, scalability, ease of template design, and SAF products integration.
In this lab, we will list all devices which are not reachable by a monitoring tool. This is good when we want to improve the overall monitoring experience and decrease the size queue (metrics which has not been arrived at the instance).
Morningstar, the world’s leading supplier of solar controllers for remote solar power systems, has partnered with Zabbix to provide pre-configured integration of their data-enabled solar power products with the Zabbix network monitoring solution. Now, both power system data and network performance metrics integrate seamlessly to allow remote solar systems to be monitored and managed from a single software platform on the premise or in the cloud, using solutions from Zabbix.
Zabbix is a universal open-source enterprise-level monitoring solution, therefore Zabbix has all the enterprise-grade features included: SSO, distributed monitoring, Zabbix Insights, advanced security, no data storage limits, and much more. Zabbix 5.2 offers over 35 new features and functional improvements.
Today we are talking about a use case when it’s impossible to find a proper way to write a recovery expression for the Zabbix trigger. In other words, we know how to identify problems. But there is no good way to detect when the problem is gone.
Preprocessing is a great tool to make data collection precise and crystal clear. That’s why we prepared some great examples of how you can use that tool to achieve the same.
Zabbix proxy is a major component in the whole Zabbix architecture. As a result, very often failure of one proxy can lead to dramatic results in all monitoring setup causing a storm of events and problems.
Zabbix chief trainer – Kaspars Mednis – is working on new training program development, teaching hundreds of students a year, and practicing Zabbix all ways around.
We wanted to find out Kaspars professional advice on mastering Zabbix and asked to reveal the topic he will speak about on Zabbix Summit Online 2020.
Zabbix supports many different monitoring approaches for different infrastructures. Data collection and analysis are just a part of the job. Once the data is collected, we need to set up proper notification channels and notify end-users of any problems or try and remedy the issues in an automated manner.
