When monitoring environments, we sometimes need to rely on third-party tools to better manage functionality and optimize responses to alerts. Let’s explore how to integrate Zabbix with PagerDuty, a real-time incident management solution designed to improve the reliability of digital services, including best practices and configuration details.

Zabbix is an open-source monitoring tool designed to oversee multiple IT infrastructure components, including networks, servers, virtual machines, and cloud services. It operates using both agent-based and agentless monitoring methods. Agents can be installed on monitored devices to collect performance data and report back to a centralized Zabbix server.

If you’ve ever been part of a technical support team (or dealt with technical support as a customer, for that matter) you’re aware that there are as many different types of technical support teams as there are types of businesses.

There are many design choices to consider when we build our monitoring environment for high-frequency monitoring. How to minimize performance impact? What are the data retention policies with storage space in mind? What are the available out-of-the-box features to solve these potential problems? In this blog post, we will discuss when you should use preprocessing […]

Why do we recommend upgrading to the latest version? Zabbix 5.0 goes with improved stability, performance, and security, as well as provides technical support for the next five years. What’s important, Zabbix 5.0 supports TimescaleDB, which is designed to enhance performance and compresses the data.

Until Zabbix 2.0.7 proxies used a simple algorithm for their configuration synchronization – overwriting the old configuration with a new one. Even unchanged records were updated. It produced a lot of SQL updates even when there were no changes in configuration. It worked good enough until one user wanted to synchronize a heavy loaded proxy […]

The performance of Zabbix is being constantly improved, and there were significant performance improvements back in 1.8. Then pretty much every Zabbix 1.8 series release added some more benefits, reduced database access and so on. With the 2.0 release there are more performance benefits expected, but there’s so little time to gather some information… luckily, […]

Everything in the world of electronics gets smaller, while performance continues to grow. I know I should not compare those computers from 1960 with what we have now, but I still get amazed all the time. The thing about modern computers is that sometimes it is a waste of resources to see them using a small […]

So in part 1 we found out that Zabbix 1.8.1 provided significant performance improvements over 1.6, mostly because of reduced database access. But those who have been following “What’s new” section in Zabbix manual might be aware that both 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 promised even better performance. After 1.8, that sounds quite optimistic, doesn’t it? Let’s […]

Zabbix is being constantly improved – functionality, usability and also performance wise. Let’s look at some practical effects on what all these performance improvements have provided in 1.8 series. As some might recall, Zabbix 1.8 alone was promising a huge performance improvement. Back in February we actually got a confirmation on that, thanks to Zabbix […]
