Hello, everybody! This is Alex and in the spirit of our last interview with Alexei Vladishev, this time I decided to take a look behind the scene of our support team. Today we are going to discuss how our support team actually operates, how they are feeling in these trying times, how excited they are about Zabbix 5.0 coming out, and just get a general feel of their philosophy.
Zabbix Team is pleased to announce the release of Zabbix 5.0 LTS. It comes with a list of significant improvements in usability, security, and integrity.
This year Zabbix as a company marks the 15th anniversary. Tens of people worked hard to make Zabbix one of the world’s most demanded and recognizable monitoring tool. There are people, whose work was and stays crucial for the product to be valuable – the developers. We decided to speak to the two Zabbix old-timers who are working in Zabbix from the very beginning till now and ask questions about how Zabbix has been developed throughout the years as well to uncover the Zabbix developers’ every day.
Given self-isolation and no chance to get back to the latest news in person or at events and conventions, I decided to have a quick sit-down with the one and only Alexei Vladishev, the CEO and founder of Zabbix, to check how things are going, what we plan for the future, what the current situation in the company is, and so forth.
Maps — one of many visualization options inside the Zabbix, a way to display your collected data, show the problems and create your topology. A map is more than a simple picture. It includes many small but very useful key features.
Low-level discovery (LLD) functionality allows you to dynamically monitor all your environment for metrics that can change from time to time, and also can be and are different between multiple servers. Zabbix monitoring software will connect to the device, check for entities that exist on it, and based on discovery output create regular items and triggers.
Zabbix Monitoring Solution is now available through Red Hat Marketplace, an open cloud marketplace that makes it easier to discover and access certified software for container-based environments across the hybrid cloud. Through the marketplace, customers can take advantage of responsive support, streamlined billing and contracting, simplified governance, and single-dashboard visibility across clouds.
Opensource ICT Solutions designed integration with Zabbix that makes it possible to monitor a big environment and use Opsgenie to centralize alerting and make the on-call scheduling for managers a lot easier. Read more and learn how to set up the integration in this post.
Network discovery is a good feature to simplify your daily routine on maintaining rapidly changing environment. Active registration is good, but it is limited only to hosts with Zabbix agent, while network discovery does not have any limitations.
With calculated items, you can create calculations based on other items. The values will be periodically calculated based on an arithmetical expression and done by the Zabbix server – nothing is performed on Zabbix agents or proxies.
