About:
Zabbix is an enterprise-class open source distributed monitoring solution designed for real-time monitoring of millions of metrics collected from tens of thousands of servers, virtual machines, and network devices. It provides a robust backend for data aggregation and a flexible frontend for visualization, alerting, and reporting. Its core value proposition is delivering a single, centralized pane of glass for comprehensive IT infrastructure health and performance management.
Key Features:
  • Auto-discovery of network services, servers, and cloud instances
  • Flexible alerting and escalation scenarios with multiple notification methods
  • Advanced data visualization with customizable graphs, maps, and dashboards
  • Agent-based and agentless monitoring (SNMP, IPMI, JMX)
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring server health, CPU, memory, and disk usage across a hybrid infrastructure
  • Ensuring application performance and availability by tracking web services and databases
  • Tracking network device performance and bandwidth utilization
Alternatives:
  • Prometheus – Prometheus is pull-based and excels at time-series metrics, whereas Zabbix offers a more traditional all-in-one monitoring suite with built-in auto-discovery and visualization.
  • Nagios – Nagios is a highly extensible monitoring system, but Zabbix provides a more modern UI and native agent out of the box with less configuration for standard use cases.
