zabbix

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 […]

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, […]

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. […]

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 […]

In what has become a highly anticipated annual tradition, Zabbix employees, partners, users, and just plain fans from every corner of the globe showed up in Riga on October 4 and 5 for Zabbix Summit 2024, celebrating a very special open-source monitoring solution that unites us all.

Discover how our partners at ATS Group designed and implemented a custom Zabbix solution that allowed a large managed service provider (MSP) to monitor and manage a vast array of client devices across multiple data centers.

Zabbix plays a crucial role in monitoring all kinds of “things” – IoT devices, domains, cloud infrastructures and more. It can also be integrated with third-party solutions – for example, with Oxidized for configuration backup monitoring. Given the nature of Zabbix, it usually contains a lot of confidential information as well as (more importantly) some […]

October means different things to different people – it’s springtime in the Southern Hemisphere, autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and Summit time if you’re a member of the Zabbix community! Summit time, of course, means the biggest of all Zabbix events, gathering the global Zabbix community in one place to have fun together and learn […]

For a few years, I’ve been monitoring 3 Digital Ocean servers with Datadog and using Datadog DogStatsD to submit custom metrics to Datadog. I am a big fan of Datadog and will continue recommending them. However, it became a bit too expensive for my needs, so I started looking for alternative options.

At Zabbix, we’ve championed the open-source movement, with its emphasis on openness, transparency, and cooperation, from day one. Because of this, prospective customers and partners often have questions about the security of our product – the fear being that open-source software is somehow less secure than proprietary software.

The objective of this project was to establish a robust and integrated environment for the continuous monitoring of code quality and performance metrics. To achieve this, SonarQube, an open-source platform for the continuous inspection of code quality, was installed on AlmaLinux. Following its setup, SonarQube was seamlessly integrated with Zabbix, an enterprise-class open-source distributed monitoring […]
