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.

This week’s blog entry comes to us from Nyein Chan Zaw, who is based in Bangkok, Thailand and works as an Infrastructure Specialist for Green Will Solution. Read on to see how he uses his integrating a Modbus protocol with Zabbix to monitor data from temperature, humidity, and smoke sensors — and display their metrics on a Zabbix dashboard.
Time waits for no one, and as impossible as it may seem, one of the most consequential years in the history of Zabbix is already in the books. You can be forgiven for feeling at times like we were trying to cram a decade of events into a single year, which is why we’ve prepared this handy look back at the highlights of 2024 – just in case there’s anything you were too busy to notice as it happened!
SEB Bank is a major financial services group based in Stockholm, Sweden. It serves northern Europe, particularly the Nordic and Baltic regions. Known for its digital innovation and commitment to sustainability, SEB offers banking, investment, and financial advisory services to individuals, businesses, and institutions, focusing on long-term relationships and financial stability. This case study, which shows how Zabbix helped SEB solve its log monitoring challenges, discusses aspects specific to SEB’s operations in the Baltics, where distinct systems and structures are in place but are aligned with the group’s overall approach.
We have often seen Zabbix used as a simple tool for monitoring network assets as well as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure. While this concept is not incorrect, it is equally important to understand that with the advancement of Zabbix versions, more and more functionalities have been made available for other types of monitoring, enabling advanced data analysis and stunning visualizations through new and modern widgets in the frontend layer.
Zabbix 7.2 is out now and available for download! The latest Zabbix major release introduces a range of new visualization features and widgets while adding a variety of updated monitoring features to support new use cases and scenarios. Read more to find out about the latest Zabbix features and improvements.
Welcome to another episode of What’s up, home? weirdness! Who wouldn’t have their own NetBox at home – and who wouldn’t think of it as a home CMDB? I’ve just started experimenting with it. For those who do not know, a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is the source of truth for your inventory of stuff. In data centers, it keeps track of your servers, their cables, and everything else, telling you in which data center and which rack they are.
Website and web application monitoring can vary from simple use cases to complex multi-step scenarios. To fully cover the scope of modern website monitoring requirements, Zabbix has introduced Browser item, a new item type that brings with it multiple accompanying improvements for simulating browser behavior and collecting website metrics.
Zabbix 7.0 is so fast that in a small environment such as What’s up, home? it gets bored. Very bored.
What does Zabbix do when it gets bored? It uses its new Selenium-based Browser item type and plays some Rock-Paper-Scissors against this blog site.
In my previous article, where we explored the TCO and ROI of open-source software, I raised topics that sparked substantive discussions, new research, and renewed insights. It is undeniable that we live in an era where collaboration and connectivity go beyond trends. They represent the foundation of current technology, especially in a world based on APIs.
Zabbix is an open-source monitoring tool designed to oversee multiple IT infrastructure components, including networks, servers, virtual machines, and cloud services. It operates using both agent-based and agentless monitoring methods. Agents can be installed on monitored devices to collect performance data and report back to a centralized Zabbix server.
