Zabbix team participated in the Latvian Big Cleanup Day 2012 on Saturday, April 21.
So far, upgrading from one development 1.9 release or 2.0.0 release candidate to another was not officially supported. Only…
Zabbix agent currently supports only one server in active mode – the first host from the Server configuration parameter is used. While for most users that is enough, some installations require a more advanced approach with the agent being able to report to multiple servers in the active mode.
This year Zabbix Company were sponsors at the RTU Karjeras Diena (Career Day) exhibition, which was organized by the students from Riga Technical University (RTU). Apart from being a sponsor of the event, the company also had its own booth and gave a presentation on Zabbix.
Well… when we wrote that second day of CeBIT 2012 was very busy, we had not seen the third day yet. In retrospective, second day wasn’t that busy, actually.
This is the interview I gave to Ludovic Valentin a few days ago. He is the maintainer of Monitoring-FR, very well known resource for those interested in monitoring solutions in France.
The first day of CeBIT2012 was extremely busy and very productive for the Zabbix team.
We were pleasantly surprised to meet lots of old friends – thank you all for visiting us.
We also made new friends from many countries across the world, and we hope for a long lasting cooperation with every one of you.
The first day of CeBIT has started in Hannover, and Zabbix has arrived there.
While it is possible to monitor various aspects of virtual environments with current versions of Zabbix, it does require some time to set it all up and isn’t as integrated as it could be.
A more integrated experience for virtual environment monitoring is currently being considered for development. It might cover VMware, Xen, KVM (and possibly other environments), and include easy-to-set-up monitoring of both hypervisor and guest virtual machine statistics.
Here at the University of Hawaii at Manoa ITS department, we recently began using Zabbix. Before adopting Zabbix, we monitored our resources with a loosely integrated mix of several software components, including Cacti, MRTG, and uPortal. Having used this old system for quite a while, we have a considerable amount of data which is valuable for trending. So how do we switch to this great Zabbix system but retain all of our trending statistics? The instructions here describe how to convert data from either Cacti or MRTG and import it directly into Zabbix.
We are always curious to know where and how our software is used. Then add a natural desire for perpetual competition. Now you should understand why about 2 months ago we had asked all our newsletter readers to report us their Zabbix dashboard indicators.
We didn’t expect that so many of you will notice that small ad at the bottom of Christmas Eve’s newsletter inviting to take part in the competition 🙂 And so we were pleasantly surprised to receive so many replies.
Everything happens for the first time. This statement comes true with Zabbix rather often lately. Could be due to a rapid growth.
