In this article, we’ll explore how to use Zabbix to monitor a MikroTik device via SNMP, using specific templates that allow you to visualize the status of interfaces and their performance. Read on to understand how to use network monitoring to ensure the correct operation and performance of devices in an infrastructure employing the SNMP […]

Zabbix 6.4 introduced major improvements to SNMP monitoring, especially when it comes to collecting large numbers of metrics from a single device. This is done by utilizing master-dependent item logic and combining it with low-level discovery and newly introduced preprocessing rules. This blog post will cover the drawbacks of the legacy SNMP monitoring approach, the […]

With just a few days remaining until Zabbix Summit 2023, our series of speaker interviews draws to a close as we talk to Opensource ICT Solutions trainer and consultant Nathan Liefting about how he worked with Adan Mohamed of Boldyn Networks to monitor the London Underground with Zabbix.

SNMP – Simple network management protocol is a networking protocol that is extremely prevalent in network hardware such as switches and routers, as well as a variety of other devices such as printers, power supplies and even regular server hosts. Depending on the device, a wide array of metrics can be retrieved by using SNMP […]

Can you monitor your mobile data usage with Zabbix? Of course, you can! By day, I am a Lead Site Reliability Engineer in a global cyber security company Forcepoint. By night, I monitor my home with Zabbix & Grafana Labs and do some weird experiments with them. Welcome to my blog about this project.

Zabbix team is pleased to announce the release of the latest Zabbix major version – Zabbix 6.4. The release delivers many long-awaited improvements, such as Just-in-time LDAP and SAML user provisioning; support of older Zabbix proxy versions for simplified proxy management and zero–downtime Zabbix upgrades; near-instant configuration sync across Zabbix agents and proxies, and much […]

Streamline your data collection, problem detection and low-level discovery by defining global regular expressions. 

Let Zabbix automatically discover and start monitoring your SNMP data points. Creating items manually for each network interface, fan, temperature sensor, and other SNMP data points can be a very time-consuming task. To save time, Zabbix administrators need to automate item, trigger, and graph creation as much as possible. Automate item, trigger and graph creation […]

Depending on your requirements, monitoring SNMP metrics can turn into quite a troublesome task. What if no out-of-the-box templates are available for my device? How can I find OID’s for my metrics and test them? What If I wish to avoid any kind of performance impact on my SNMP device during the testing period?

Opensource ICT Solutions designed a Python and Bash script for Zabbix that makes it possible parse SNMP traps to Zabbix without the use of net-snmp-perl. Read more and learn how to set up the scripts in this post.

SNMP is one of the most used monitoring types inside Zabbix. But it is also one of the most frustrating tools to configure for newcomers. Even experienced guys tend to make simple mistakes during configuration, which later lead to a lot of issues with flapping items, interfaces, false-positive notifications, or even worse.

Network discovery is a good feature to simplify your daily routine on maintaining rapidly changing environment. Active registration is good, but it is limited only to hosts with Zabbix agent, while network discovery does not have any limitations.
