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

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

Elements Host 13 Item 14 Trigger 15 Template 20

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

Sources of Information Item 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

Trigger Logical expression that can describe threshold or complex problem condition 6 severity levels may be assigned to a 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

Trigger Expressions 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

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

Trigger Hysteresis Task: Average server room temperature is 12-14ºC. Alarm if 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)

Relative Trigger 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

Template 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.

Main Functions Collect 22 Store 25 Manage 26 Alert 27 Visualize 28

Any application that Customer depends on. Collect data 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 Network Hardware

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

Collect data | Web Monitoring 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

Store data 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

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

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

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

Trouble Free Maintenance 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
