9. Bundled package • True Open Source • Enterprise-friendly support pricing • Monitor anything • Distributed monitoring • Commercially Backed Competitive Benefits

10. Single Zabbix Node With a well structured set-up and powerful hardware, allows to process over 15000 new values per second, which is equal to monitoring of 50 000 devices against 15parameters with 50 second interval Performance

11. 800 000 times software was downloaded during 2012 Best of Breed Zabbix is nominated for the 2nd time among world’s best monitoring solutions according to Gartner Zabbix in Numbers 25 languages Zabbix interface is translated to

13. Server or a network device having IP or DNS name Any smart equipment Any application Host

14. Sources of Information Zabbix Agent Server polls Zabbix Agent (Active) Processed by Zabbix agent Simple check Executed by Zabbix server SNMP agent All SNMP versions are supported Trapper Used with Zabbix sender Log files Internal Zabbix health Aggregate Average/min/max for host group External check script[parameters] SSH Password and key authentication supported Telnet Calculated From existing data Item

15. Logical expression that can describethreshold or complex problem condition 6 severity levels may be assigned to a Trigger Trigger • visual representation - different colors for different severities • audio in global alarms - different audio for different severities • user media - different media (notification channel) for different severities • limiting actions by conditions against trigger severities

16. Syntax {host:key.function(param)}=0 {zabbix:system.cpu.load.avg(600)}>5 Operators -, +, /, *, <, >, =, #, |, and Functions min, max, avg, last, diff, count, delta, time, etc Not limited to single item or host {host1:item1}=1 and{host2:item2}>3 | {host3:item3}<0 Expression Constructor makes it easier to build complex expressions Trigger Expressions

17. Real problem: Disk is full Alarm Alarm Alarm • Investigates the real cause of multiple problems • Skips dependent notifications • Hides dependent triggers in the frontend Trigger Dependencies Alarm MySQL doesn’t respond CRM does’t respond Disk free space Host 1 = 0 Mb Linux on Host 1 stopped

18. Task: Average server room temperature is 12-14ºC. Alarmif temperature exceeds 20ºC and release alarm only if temperature goes below 15ºC. ({TRIGGER.VALUE}=0 and {server:temp.last(0)}>20)|({TRIGGER.VALUE}=1 and {server:temp.last(0)}>15) Trigger Hysteresis

19. Allows to compare current result with some result in the past Task: Compare average load on system CPU for 1 hour today with average load for the same period yesterday and notify if it is more than 2 times larger Example {server:system.cpu.load.avg(1h)} / {server:system.cpu.load.avg(1h, 1d)}>2 Relative Trigger

20. A template is a set of elements that can be conveniently applied to manage monitoring of multiple hosts.Nested templates allow to manage different hosts efficiently.

22. Data is gathered using various methods, including Zabbix native agents and agent-less options: SNMP ver.1, 2, 3, IPMI, trappers, SSH, Telnet. Any application that Customer depends on. Applications Middleware OS Collect data Network Hardware

23. Way to manage 200,000 devices and more Network discovery Auto-registration Low-level discovery Periodically search within IP+Port range for a certain reply Automated Device Management Action Condition Action New device arrives ! New file system added! Condition Action For existing Hosts Install Zabbix agent on a new device, provide Zabbix server location Create/delete Host and assign Template Create/delete Host and assign Template Periodically search on all Hosts for a new / missing components Create/delete Items for existing host

24. Response code, time, and speed (200; 5ms; 256kB/s) • Web scenarios, including login/logout, are supported • HTTP and HTTPS are supported • Check for pre-defined string [word/number] is supported Collect data | Web Monitoring

25. Relation database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, DB2, SQLite) • Unlimited amount of historical data • Support of NoSQL storages (like Cassandra) is coming • Reuse stored data at any time Store data

26. History • Built-in data reduction • Averaged historical data • Housekeeping • Long term storage • Per-item retention periods Manage data

27. Notification methods: • E-mail, SMS, & Jabber • Chat message • Command Execution • Event Acknowledgement function Flexible escalation Alert

28. Visualize | Dashboard

29. Simple graphs are created automatically, no need to set up • Complex graphs may visualize data from different sources Visualize | Graphs

30. Different available elements • Easy editing, Drag and Drop • Reference data along elements • Nested maps – ability to drill-down • UTF-8 support Visualize | Maps

37. Native agents. Written in C. • Small footprint, low system resource usage • Available for most platforms Zabbix Agent

38. Server Agent Passive mode Request: What to check? Request: CPU load Response: 1.95 Response: CPU load, ... Active mode Request frequency set by Agent, 120 sec. by default Zabbix Agent | Modes CPU load: 4.32 Buffer Fan speed (RPM): 3524 Higher Performance More secure Free diskspace: 13 Gb

39. Everything, Data and Configuration, is stored in DB. To back-up Zabbix, just back-up corresponding Zabbix DB • No DB changes within major versions (Front-end from 2.0.6 works great with Back-end 2.0.0) • Agents are backward compatible with Zabbix Server (Agent v.1.2 works fine with Zabbix Server 2.0.6) • Starting from Zabbix v.2.2, DB will be upgraded automatically when connected from Zabbix Server v.2.2 Trouble Free Maintenance
