Zabbix is a software that monitors numerous parameters of a network and the health and integrity
of servers, virtual machines, applications, services, databases, websites, the cloud and more.
Zabbix uses a flexible notification mechanism that allows users to configure email-based alerts
for virtually any event. This allows a fast reaction to server problems. Zabbix offers excellent
reporting and data visualization features based on the stored data. This makes Zabbix ideal for
capacity planning.
Zabbix supports both polling and trapping. All Zabbix reports and statistics, as well as
configuration parameters, are accessed through a web-based frontend. A web-based frontend ensures
that the status of your network and the health of your servers can be assessed from any location.
Properly configured, Zabbix can play an important role in monitoring IT infrastructure. This is
equally true for small organizations with a few servers and for large companies with a multitude
of servers.
