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.
Multi-tenant architecture quite often is a primary requirement. When we think not only about monitoring our own infrastructure, but also about providing monitoring as a service for our customers, many questions come up in terms of design and required software functionality.
Zabbix Summit 2020 is around the corner, and we are starting the blog series to introduce you with the great minds that will be speaking at the event. Please meet the first speaker – our experienced trainer and acknowledged technical guru, an online meetup star, and the host of Zabbix Summit already for the second time in a row – Arturs Lontons.
Being on duty in a 24×7 IT team might not be fun. Planning duty schedules in Excel, having a shared on-call phone, or searching relevant information in a sea of emails makes it even worse. There is a better way. Integrating the lightweight alerting app SIGNL4 with Zabbix makes the life of an on-call engineer easier, and it allows the IT manager to see what’s going on at any time.
In this post, we’ll discuss how to secure your data sent through Zabbix from the database frontend to the database and the other way around.
Zabbix Summit is the only place to hear notable use cases of Zabbix and deep dive in technical solutions presented by worldwide Zabbix experts. Nine years in a row, we did our best in organizing the event, which gathered hundreds of visitors from tens of countries. This year, we are adopting the new rules and are switching to the online format.
The new whitelist and blacklist functionality in Zabbix 5.0 may help to secure your environment. Learn how and why using this functionality in the following blog post.
This post outlines how to use Zabbix and iLert with multiple on-call teams, where each team is responsible for a set of host groups in Zabbix, and therefore, will only receive alerts for the services it is responsible for. But first, let’s start with the basic needs when being on-call.
Opensource ICT Solutions designed a Python and Bash script for Zabbix that makes it possible parse SNMP traps to Zabbix without the use of net-snmp-perl. Read more and learn how to set up the scripts in this post.
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.
