A comparison to Nagios

[MikeJamieGavin]

For anyone setting up config files for Windows boxes, be aware that entries in the config file are case sensitive. For example, if your Zabbix folder is C:\Zabbix, and you create the log entry like:

your config will fail. If you change it to:

(note the uppercase Z) it will load.

In general Windows is case aware, but not case sensitive, so this can burn a seasoned Windows admin.

I installed this across my home network monitoring, raspberry pi, my phone and 4 virtual systems along with Grafana for server monitoring. My only mistake was installing an older server with newer clients and getting header issues, solved with deploying a 4.0 server... Fantastic tool that allows me to automate a lot of functions.

Thanks for another great video! Love to see more videos about Zabbix

[sabmayahai]

A perfect short video for understanding the look and feel of the zabbix monitoring system UI. Thanks!!

[cfisupply]

+1 for the getting started video. I'm working on building a home lab as well as another lab setup for a local group's "Tech Night".

Also interested in LibreNMS which has been mentioned in the comments. I'm trying to keep as much of the lab project as open sourced as possible.

[tylerlindberg]

Awesome video! We're having a LibreNMS vs Zabbix show-down at work. I'd love to see more on this NMS.

Yay for a video on Zabbix. Reminds me that I need to clean up and update mine

[daphbobo]

hello, I'm a fan of you channel, pretty good content. I agree Zabbix is simple abd powerful. I have used cacti, nagios and now been using zabbix for a few years. it's my eyes into the network performance, havnt upgraded to zabbix 4.0 though.. i've just upgraded to zabbix 3.4 about a year or so. I create my own templates to keep it simple and get just what i need and not all of it. the real trick is tuning zabbix and zabbix database. got about a thousand monitored devices.

[ShivohamTamilMeaning]

Thank you. Nice walk through.. much appriciated

[Amzouri]

you're a great man
God bless this abundant knowledge

How do I set up the web access. I have the agent install on my Windows server. But I am not stuck in the mud!

[connorcleveland]

Using zabbix 3.4 installed from Ubuntu apt repos. Does anyone know if the version on the ppa has the libcurl module compiled? I want to update to 4.0 with libcurl support but I didn't all the way through compiling from source. Also my zabbix agent on pfsense stopped working after the latest pfsense update that went to php 7 :(

Edit: Spun and migrated to zabbix 4 using their ppa with no issues and it is compiled with all the extras like libcurl support.

Will there be a video on how to set this up and begin monitoring our first servers?

[alpachino]

Struggling with the pfsense firewall rules a little. My external server needs to connect home and to the correct VLAN, but I just cannot get it to work...?

[tnkatsu]

Is it possible to get latency/packet loss data for a certain host from a pfSense box? The monitoring on pfSense itself isn't enough for getting a good picture of ISP faults and network congestion problems (unless I've overlooked something). Could I use Zabbix with pfSense to get this kind of data?

[TheMemcon]

Great video! Would love to see more Zabbix videos/tutorials.

[cesaramaral]

I need a help. I am looking for a way to verify if a website is up or down (code 200) or redirect. The problem is the amount of 150 sites. Any trick to do or I need to insert one by one as a host that belongs to a group. Thanks for your attention

[MrSupermansmother]

Thx again! Everytime i need some info im ending up on your channel. Great stuff

[lanceeilers]

Very Cool Tom, will have a look at it at a later stage - I need to get to the gym, but it kind of reminds me of net health, Concord etc we used in the Frame relay and Cisco networks,   in my previous life, thanks a bunch Tom ... just a quick question were you also experiencing performance and stability issues with xcp and xoa (cpu and mem high utilization), I recently ended up rolling back to version 7.4 and 5.28 and restoring my vdi's - I know there is some testing going on, with test patches   .... fun fun fun happy day's are here again Tom I was also wondering about that hole in your back yard, you could have rented a small digger loader (bob cat)  and possibly dug it up yourself, or if you feel really ambitious possible tried your hand at a  shovel would have saved you heaps of cash less foundation damage (possibly up and coming) .... part of life ... write it on your stomach and wipe it off ... have a great one,  cheers for ears and have a blessed season

I have Pfsense+Zabbix+Grafana is really cool thing to have.
