Introduction to Zabbix
Zabbix is an enterprise-level open source solution based on WEB interface that provides distributed system monitoring and network monitoring functions.
Zabbix can monitor various network parameters to ensure the safe operation of the server system; and provides a soft notification mechanism to allow system administrators to quickly locate/solve various existing problems.
Zabbix consists of 2 parts, Zabbixserver and the optional component Zabbixagent.
Zabbixserver can provide remote server/network status monitoring, data collection and other functions through SNMP, Zabbixagent, ping, port monitoring and other methods. It can run on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OSX and other platforms superior.
Zabbixagent needs to be installed on the target server to be monitored. It mainly collects hardware information or memory, CPU and other information related to the operating system. Zabbixagent can run on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OSX, Tru64/OSF1, WindowsNT4.0, Windows2000/2003/XP/Vista) and other systems.
Zabbixserver can independently monitor the service status of the remote server; it can also cooperate with Zabbixagent, polling Zabbixagent to actively receive monitoring data (trapping mode), and can also passively receive data sent by Zabbixagent (trapping mode).
In addition, Zabbixserver also supports SNMP (v1, v2) and can be used with SNMP software (such as net-snmp).
