What is Zabbix? How to Use It…

Hello,

In this article, I will share some information and my experiences with Zabbix.

Zabbix is a tool developed by Alexei Vladishev for monitoring network services, servers, services, and network hardware on endpoints. It is based on C and PHP.

With the ever-growing infrastructures today, managing these endpoints has become a significant challenge for system administrators. Any issue that occurs at an endpoint often becomes known only when it eventually leads to a noticeable problem. This is because systems and services have expanded so much that they are now difficult to monitor…

This is where Zabbix becomes a truly valuable tool for us. When Zabbix detects any abnormality on the hosts, services, or network devices you have defined, it can take a variety of actions within the framework you have specified, thanks to its system design.

I won’t go into how to install Zabbix because it is now available as an appliance, eliminating the need for manual installation. You can access the appliance versions here, allowing you to skip the installation process altogether :)
