Chapter 1: Getting Started with Zabbix and User Management

There have been quite a few changes to the Zabbix UI since 4.4 and earlier in this Zabbix 5 release. This book has been written completely with Zabbix 5, but while reading, you'll find some information detailing the differences between 4 and 5.

In this chapter, we will install the Zabbix server and explore the Zabbix UI to get you familiar with it. We will go over finding your hosts, triggers, dashboards, and more to make sure you feel confident diving into the deeper material later on in this book. The Zabbix UI has a lot of options to explore, so if you are just getting started, don't get overwhelmed. It's quite structurally built actually and once you get the hang of it, I am confident you will find your way without issues.

We will also work on creating our first user groups, users, and some advanced user authentication as a bonus. This way, we will make sure we have a structured Zabbix setup before...
