Zabbix - A Quick Overview | Fundamentals of Zabbix

This is a quick overview of the widely used network monitoring tool Zabbix. I was going to install Zabbix in my lab to monitor my Physical Servers and Virtual Machines. I thought it would be a good idea to share some videos about Zabbix as well.

I will install Ubuntu server on Intel Nuc in the next video and then we will look at the step by step Zabbix installation on Ubuntu Server.

I configured my host with an SNMPv2 but upon searching in the template, I can't see any option for SNMPv2. I only have "Template Net Network Generic Device SNMP", not SNMPv2. Please help, thanks!

I am here for the doughnuts and sound effects.

Not a lot going on here other than looking at the Zabbix website. How do you apply hosts to templates? or is it the other way around?

What is your opinion about Nagios tool compare to Zabbix ?

[Eminchm]

can i install zabbix on my virtual infrastructure on vmware created virtual linux machine?

[chris_cloud]

Installing zabbix on nuc instead of running on vm is a bit naive. You still have a SPOF (more resiliant, but still). Did you consider running it in k8s cluster spanning on already existing infrastructure and maybe adding the nuc as the last straw of bulletproofing?

Great Intro, does it work on all platforms, is it free?

[cpunsb]

well explained bt atleast u need to show cpu utilization, disk memory
