1 The enterprise class monitoring solution for everyone

2 Today's topics Zabbix overview We met 2 years ago what's new? Uncommon uses

3 2 years for Zabbix Zabbix 2.0 out in May 13 maintenance releases of conferences and a branch in Japan

4 Zabbix mature by now Developed since 1998 First public release in years old next April

5 True open source Open Core

6 What's included Integrated solution Data retrieving Historical data storage Official web based frontend Alerting, discovery More

7 Components Server Database Frontend

8 Native agent

9 Choose the direction Request: CPU load Response: 1.95 Passive Request: List of checks Server Response: CPU load, Diskspace... Free diskspace on / : 13GB CPU load : 4.32 Fan 5 RPM : 3524 CPU 1 temperature : 34 Active

10 Agentless methods TCP checks SNMP IPMI SSH, telnet

11 Advanced methods Calculated Total free = used Aggregate Total free diskspace for all fileservers Average qps for all database servers 5000qps 1000qps 9000qps Aggregate value = 5000 qps

12 What's a problem? Extremely flexible problem conditions Functions last, min, max, avg, delta etc Comparison, math, boolean logic Check multiple values across several hosts 6 severity levels

13 Templating Template_MySQL MySQL server Queries per second Queries per second {Template_MySQL:qps.avg(300)}>5000 {Server:qps.avg(300)}>5000 Graph

14 Low level discovery Agent filesystems, network interfaces SNMP tables (interfaces, anything) Custom

15 Custom LLD data { "data":[ { "{#FSNAME}":"/sys", { "{#FSNAME}":"/proc", { "{#FSNAME}":"/", { "{#FSNAME}":"/home", ] "{#FSTYPE}":"sysfs"}, "{#FSTYPE}":"proc" }, "{#FSTYPE}":"ext3" }, "{#FSTYPE}":"ext3" }, }

16 LLD is awesome

17 It really is

18 Automatic inventory Hardware chassis details CPU frequency, vendor, model... PCI/USB device list MAC addresses Operating system name, architecture Installed package list

19 Multi-homed hosts

20 Alerting SMS Jabber/XMPP

21 Escalations Toggle power Via UPS Restart server via IPMI to management Restart service (if not acknowledged) to management (if not acknowledged) SMS to second level techsupport to second level techsupport to first level techsupport

22 Alerting conditions and contents Flexible conditions Include useful information Customise per recipient

23 Bundled frontend Monitoring Visualisation Configuration

33 Remote environments...

34 ...can be a problem

35 Solution Zabbix proxy Zabbix proxy

36 DMZ passive proxy Zabbix proxy

37 Web monitoring now over Zabbix proxy Active Zabbix proxy Passive Zabbix proxy

38 Monitoring Java applications? Apache Tomcat GlassFish

39 Java easy with Zabbix Apache Tomcat GlassFish Zabbix Java gateway

40 OpenFire heap memory

41 Zabbix Java gateway heap memory

42 Mix proxies and gateways Zabbix Java gateway Zabbix Java gateway Zabbix proxy Apache Tomcat

43 Extendability Run any command on the agent or server Run any command in response to events Feed timestamped data in Zabbix No language restrictions

44 Scalability Server, proxy and agent are written in C Server Real world installations with 40K-80K hosts and more Processing thousands of values every second...or > 2 million values/checks every 5 minutes

45 Server improvements for 2.2 Configurable amount of processes Pollers Trappers... In timers

46 Agent scalability Agent Uses less than a megabyte of RAM (736K on 64bit; excluding shared libraries)

47 Performance improvements Server More caching Actually, lots more caching Optimised database access

48 Performance improvements Proxy Data sending Long-term use

49 Performance improvements Agent Memory usage

50 Upgrade policies No database changes in one major release All old agents supported Automatic database upgrade coming in 2.2

51 Popularity Japan, Russia, Brazil... Financial, ISP, government, manufacturing... Other open source projects

54 Uncommon uses Some examples back from 2011, first Zabbix conference in Riga

55 Monitoring users on IRC

56 Weather forecast
