What Is Zabbix?

Zabbix is an open-source client-server monitoring solution that is designed for use by organizations of all sizes. The Zabbix agent monitors the status of system resources through deployment on end systems.

The Zabbix monitoring platform makes it easy to track a whole infrastructure, from a single application process to a whole application and database. As far as monitoring enterprise class hardware is concerned, Zabbix is just as good.

Zabbix's main strength is the ability to monitor custom parameters unavailable via standard monitoring methods based on SNMP. Agent-based monitoring gives you complete control over anything happening on the end node. Zabbix also supports a large variety of other monitoring methods, including SNMP traps and GETs, WMI, SSH, JMX, ODBC, and others. It is capable of monitoring large environments using minimal resources.

Key Features Of Zabbix

Among Zabbix's benefits are its free platform, its consistent features such as Zabbix agents, notifications and remediation modules, and its robust GUI.

Money Saver

The open-source platform offered by Zabbix offers business and individual users the freedom to access source code freely without vendor lock-in. A monitoring platform, therefore, does not require a steep cost for businesses who intend to use it. Furthermore, the software allows for fast and seamless configuration and setup.

Zabbix Agent

With Zabbix, you can monitor anything from a server to a database seamlessly and effectively. A notable module is Zabbix Agent. It enables users to plan capacity expansions by providing reliable network monitoring tools and infrastructure management tools.

Module for Notification and Remediation

In addition to proactive notifications, this feature also supports automatic actions and all-encompassing communications. Users can subscribe to this module and get notifications. Responsible staff can then take any other necessary steps that are needed after receiving the important information. Using this module, it is possible to tailor the notification content based on its context. You can choose how you want to receive it, such as email, SMS, Jabber, or Ez Texting.

Easy-to-use and robust GUI

Even those with little or no technical knowledge can navigate Zabbit's friendly graphical interface. A huge range of configuration functionality enables vivid visualization. A dashboard featuring widgets, graphs, slideshows and drill-down reports provides an overview and visual overview of the entire IT environment.

I'm not big on to-do lists. Instead, I use e-mail and desktop folders and my online calendar. So when I walk up to my desk, I can focus on the e-mails I've flagged and check the folders that are monitoring particular projects and particular blogs. - Bill Gates
