What is Zabbix (highly Integrated Monitoring Integration scheme) _zabbix

Zabbix (Zæbix) is an enterprise-class open source solution based on the Web interface that provides distributed system monitoring and network monitoring capabilities.

Zabbix can monitor various network parameters, ensure the safe operation of the server system, and provide flexible notification mechanism for the system administrator to quickly locate/solve the various problems.
The Zabbix is composed of 2 parts, Zabbix server and optional component Zabbix Agent.
Zabbix server can provide monitoring of remote server/network status through Snmp,zabbix agent,ping, port monitoring, data collection, and so on, it can run in Linux,solaris,hp-ux,,aix,free BSD, Open Bsd,os x platform.

Zabbix Installation Use

The Zabbix agent needs to be installed on the target server being monitored, which mainly completes the collection of information such as hardware information or operating system-related memory, CPU, etc. The Zabbix agent can run in Linux,solaris,hp-ux,aix,free bsd,open BSD, OS X, TRU64/OSF1, Windows NT4.0, Windows (2000/2003/xp/vista ) and other systems.
Zabbix Server can monitor the service state of the remote server separately, and can also cooperate with the Zabbix agent, can poll the Zabbix agent to receive the monitoring data actively (agent mode), and can also passively receive Zabbix The data sent by the agent (in trapping mode).
In addition, Zabbix server also supports SNMP (V1,V2), which can be used in conjunction with SNMP software (for example, NET-SNMP).

Zabbix is a highly integrated monitoring integration solution, and configuration deployment is simple, most of the configuration can be completed on the web. As for the introduction of Zabbix, we'll talk about it later.

Contact Zabbix Since 2009, when the version in 1.8, after almost 5 years, Zabbix after 2.0,2.1,2.2 several versions, although most of the functions remain unchanged, but there are very obvious changes.

We look at the development trend of Zabbix, open Http://index.baidu.com/?tpl=trend&word=zabbix, you can see this month's daily average index in 258, the overall year-on-year growth of 928%, the chain growth of 10%. Nagios Monthly average index in 308, year-on-year growth of 13%, the chain 24%, can be seen Zabbix although less than the Nagios index, but according to this trend, a great deal more than nagios potential.

To observe the Zabbix and Nagios job requirements, on the 51job search Zabbix related positions, a total of 272, Nagios a total of 668.
Although the contact Zabbix time is very long, but in the middle of a considerable period of time did not go to configure, this is a review again, and take notes on the Ttlsa.
