Zabbix 7 IT Infrastructure Monitoring Cookbook

Getting Things Ready with Zabbix User Management

In this chapter, we will work on creating our first user groups, users, and user roles. It’s very important to set these up in the correct manner, as they will give people access to your Zabbix environment with the correct permissions. By going over these things step by step, we will make sure we have a structured Zabbix setup before continuing on with this book.

As a bonus, we will also set up some advanced user authentication using SAML and LDAP to make things easier for your Zabbix users and provide them with a way to use the login credentials they might already be using throughout your company. We will go over all these steps in the order of the following recipes:

  • Creating user groups
  • Using Zabbix user roles
  • Creating your first users
  • Azure AD SAML user authentication and JIT user provisioning
  • OpenLDAP user authentication and JIT user provisioning

Technical requirements

We can do all of the work in this chapter with any installed Zabbix setup. If you haven’t installed Zabbix yet, check out the previous chapter to learn how to do so. We will go through our Zabbix setup to get everything ready for our users to start logging in and using the Zabbix frontend.

As mentioned earlier, Zabbix 7 introduces several changes. If you are migrating from Zabbix 6 or earlier versions of this monitoring platform, you have two options: you can navigate through the Zabbix documentation on your own, which is fine, or you can have this book at your disposal to expedite your adoption of the new and updated Zabbix features. For newcomers to Zabbix, this book is essential due to the learning curve of this product, which, although less steep than that of some competitors, still presents a challenge. As a Zabbix veteran starting to embrace Zabbix 7, you'll appreciate having this excellent reference on hand. What this book is not: a replacement for Zabbix documentation. It takes a practical approach as a "how to do it" reference, empowering you with the knowledge and skills to use Zabbix 7 effectively. Like many references of this nature, it is limited to the authors' examples. However, Nathan and Brian have assembled a comprehensive selection of excellent, common HOWTOs.

I love how this book takes you through the why and how of tasks I find myself doing often, but is still deeply technical. I’d definitely recommend it to new and seasoned Zabbix admins alike.

A web-based frontend ensures that the status of your network and the health of your servers can be assessed from any location. Properly configured, Zabbix can play an important role in monitoring IT infrastructure. This is equally true for small organizations with a few servers and for large companies with a multitude of servers.Zabbix is free of cost. Zabbix is written and distributed under the AGPL-3.0 license. It means that its source code is freely distributed and available for the general public.

I was fortunate to receive early reviewer access to the "Zabbix 7 IT Infrastructure Monitoring Cookbook." Similar to the previous editions, this book starts with the basics and guides you through setting up Zabbix 7 in your environment. It progresses to cover more complex aspects and addresses day-to-day operations and tasks.I highly recommend this book, as the previous versions greatly assisted me in implementing Zabbix in an enterprise with high availability requirements.
