preprocessing

In the previous Kubernetes monitoring blog post, we explored the functionality provided by the Kubernetes integration in Zabbix and discussed use cases for monitoring and alerting to events in a cluster, such as changes in replicas or CPU pressure.

Collect structured data in bulk and use Zabbix preprocessing to extract and transform the necessary metrics. Collecting data from custom monitoring endpoints such as web applications or custom in-house software can result in the collected data requiring further extraction or transformation to fit our requirements. Use Zabbix preprocessing to extract metrics from structured data: Extract […]

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 […]

In this post and the video, we will discuss deploying and configuring Zabbix 5.4 in a multi-tenant environment and how Zabbix is finally ready for real multi-tenant use cases thanks to multiple features.

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.

Sometimes we need much more than collecting generic data from our servers or network devices. For high-frequency monitoring, we need functionality to offload сore components from the extensive load. Throttling is the exact thing that will allow you to drop repetitive values on a Pre-processing level and collect only changing values.

Preprocessing is a great tool to make data collection precise and crystal clear. That’s why we prepared some great examples of how you can use that tool to achieve the same.

What are the different ways you can use Zabbix preprocessing and why you should consider implementing it in your environment? Let’s take a brief look at how Zabbix preprocessing has evolved and the technical nuances of transforming and storing your preprocessed data.

Processing of XML documents were never as easy as now. Xpath preprocessing is available as a native functionality without any third party scripts or modules. Write your xpath query and use it against your XML document to extract desired value.

With new preprocessing steps added to Zabbix in nearly every release, it became obvious that it’s impossible to predict every business case, so we had to come up with a universal solution. This, in turn, raised an important question – which embedded scripting language/engine to use.
