Zabbix is an open-sourcemonitoring software tool for diverse IT components, including networks, servers, virtual machines (VMs) and cloud services. Zabbix provides monitoring metrics, among others network utilization, CPU load and disk space consumption. Zabbix monitoring configuration can be done using XML based templates which contain elements to monitor.[2] The software monitors operations on Linux, Hewlett Packard Unix (HP-UX), Mac OS X, Solaris and other operating systems (OSes); however, Windows monitoring is only possible through agents.Zabbix can use MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle or IBM DB2 to store data.[3] Its backend is written in C and the web frontend is written in PHP. Zabbix offers several monitoring options:

Creates Zabbix templates for Windows PDH and provides Zabbix instance LLD for counter instances. This script automates the creation of Zabbix templates based on Windows Performance Counters and the dicovery of counter instances for Zabbix low-level discovery.

By default, Zabbix will wait 1 hour before collect information from the network interfaces. In order to test your configuration, access the Monitoring menu.

  • Simple checks can verify the availability and responsiveness of standard services such as SMTP or HTTP without installing any software on the monitored host.
  • A Zabbix agent can also be installed on UNIX and Windows hosts to monitor statistics such as CPU load, network utilization, disk space, etc.
  • As an alternative to installing an agent on hosts, Zabbix includes support for monitoring via SNMP, TCP and ICMP checks, as well as over IPMI, JMX, SSH, Telnet and using custom parameters. Zabbix supports a variety of near-real-time notification mechanisms, including XMPP.

Released under the terms of GNU General Public License version 2, Zabbix is free software.

History[edit]

Zabbix agent windows monitoring

Zabbix started as an internal software project in 1998. After three years, in 2001, it was released to the public under GPL,[4] three years later until the first stable version, 1.0, was released in 2004.

Features[edit]

  • High performance, high capacity (able to monitor hundreds of thousands of devices).
  • Auto-discovery of servers and network devices and interfaces.[10]
  • Low-level discovery,[11] allows to automatically start monitoring new items, file systems or network interfaces among others.
  • Distributed monitoring with centralized web administration.
  • Native high performance agents (client software for Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OS X, Tru64/OSF1, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7)
  • SLA, and ITIL KPI metrics on reporting.
  • High-level (business) view of monitored resources through user-defined visual console screens and dashboards.
  • Remote command execution through Zabbix proxies since August 2017,[12] up to Zabbix 3.4[13]

Development[edit]

Zabbix is primarily developed by a Zabbix LLC company.

The transformation of the Zone map destabilizes the fragile balance of forces in the Zone. Stalker clear sky windows 10. Hostilities for the new territories, artifact fields and spheres of influence flare up among groups.

Source code[edit]

Zabbix consists of several separate modules:

  • Zabbix Server, not supported in Windows,[15] performs the polling and trapping of data, calculates triggers and sends notifications to users, needs a database to store configurations and data.
  • Zabbix Agents, installed on the system that is to be monitored to reach out values like CPU/memory usage that can only be accessed from within the OS
  • Zabbix Frontend, web front-end used for setup, configuration and data browsing.
  • Zabbix Proxy,[16] not supported in Windows, allows to access to systems that can't be reached directly and reduce load on Zabbix Server.[15]

While the server, proxy and agents are written in C, the front-end is implemented in PHP and JavaScript. A Java gateway is also available since Zabbix 2.0.

Releases[edit]

Since the first stable version was released as 1.0, Zabbix versioning has used minor version numbers to denote major releases. Each minor release actually implements many new features, while change level releases mostly introduce bugfixes.

Zabbix version numbering scheme has changed over time. While the first two stable branches were 1.0 and 1.1, after 1.1 it was decided to use odd numbers for development versions and even numbers for stable versions. As a result, 1.3 followed 1.1 as a development update to be released as 1.4.
