In part one of this blog post, I will show you how to monitor Podman pods using HTTP agent item to retrieve data from the Prometheus Podman exporter. Let’s get started!

As IT infrastructures grow increasingly complex, efficiently analyzing monitoring data and accelerating incident response have become critical challenges for operations teams. This post explores a few innovative applications of DeepSeek when integrated with Zabbix.

Many years ago, maybe around 2017 or 2018, one of my ex-colleagues (Hi, Kevin!) said that I would probably even use Zabbix to come up with the winning lotto numbers. Just to strike back, I did exactly that with a small “easter egg” in Zabbix containing the lotto numbers – a quick bash script feeding […]

When monitoring environments, we sometimes need to rely on third-party tools to better manage functionality and optimize responses to alerts. Let’s explore how to integrate Zabbix with PagerDuty, a real-time incident management solution designed to improve the reliability of digital services, including best practices and configuration details.

In today’s fast-paced, interconnected IT world, simply waiting for something to fail before fixing it isn’t good enough. A proactive approach to monitoring, which aims to identify and address potential issues before they escalate into major disruptions, is a necessity rather than a luxury.

One of the great advantages of Zabbix is its extensible and modular architecture. This allows the platform to be enhanced with third-party modules, significantly expanding its functionalities without compromising the stability of the core system. The ECharts-Zabbix module is an excellent example of this flexibility in action.
