Setting Up Zabbix Monitoring
Zabbix is built to be flexible and should be able to monitor just about anything you could ever require. In this chapter, we will learn more about working with Zabbix to build a lot of different options for monitoring. We’ll go over them recipe by recipe so that you end up with a solid understanding of how they work.
We’ll cover the following recipes on the different monitoring types:
- Setting up Zabbix agent monitoring
- Working with SNMP monitoring the old way
- Setting up SNMP monitoring the new way
- Creating Zabbix simple checks and the Zabbix trapper
- Working with calculated and dependent items
- Creating external checks
- Setting up JMX monitoring
- Setting up database monitoring
- Setting up HTTP agent monitoring
- Using Zabbix browser items to simulate a web user
- Using Zabbix preprocessing to alter item values
