Have you ever wanted a button to export specific data to CSV directly from Zabbix frontend? My friend Gregory and I have solved this problem.

Zabbix Agent 2 has been developed to provide additional benefits to our users – From a larger set of supported metrics to metric collection logic improvements and simplified custom monitoring plugin development. Let’s look at what new features Zabbix Agent 2 will receive in Zabbix 6.0 LTS. The full recording of the speech is available […]

The ability to define and execute scripts on different Zabbix components in different scenarios can be extremely powerful. There are many different use cases where we can execute these scripts – to remediate an issue, forward our alerts to an external system, and much more. In this post, we will cover one of the lesser-known […]

Did you know that Zabbix has an out-of-the-box template for collecting Oracle database metrics? With this template, we can collect data like database, tablespace, ASM, and many other metrics agentlessly, by using ODBC. This blog post will guide you on how to set up ODBC monitoring for Oracle 11.2, 12.1, 18.5, or 19.2 database servers. […]

In this blog post, we will talk about maintaining and storing the Zabbix API session key in an automated fashion. The blog post builds upon the Close problem automatically via Zabbix API subject and can be used as extra configuration for this particular use-case.

In this blog post, we will talk about aggregating different kinds of devices that are disconnected from the general network. Finding out how many devices per kind are “down” right now. This can be useful in the Internet Service Provider type of situation.

In today’s topic let’s talk about section “Administration” => “Queue”. Zabbix queue also called delayed metrics represents data that is currently missing inside the monitoring tool.

This topic is related to template development from scratch, bulk data input, and a lot of dependable items having different preprocessing steps each. If these keywords resonate with you, keep reading.

In today’s class let’s talk about where the disk space goes. Which items and hosts objects consume the disk space the most.

In this lab, let’s practice to create an on-screen report of the data (most recent metrics) which is very important for us. This post represents one technique how to advance from functionality under: “Monitoring” => “Overview”.

In this lab, we will list all devices which are not reachable by a monitoring tool. This is good when we want to improve the overall monitoring experience and decrease the size queue (metrics which has not been arrived at the instance).
