Overview of this book

This book is a perfect starting point for monitoring with Zabbix. Even if you have never used a monitoring solution before, this book will get you up and running quickly, before guiding you into more sophisticated operations with ease. You'll soon feel in complete control of your network, ready to meet any challenges you might face. Beginning with installation, you'll learn the basics of data collection before diving deeper to get to grips with native Zabbix agents and SNMP devices. You will also explore Zabbix's integrated functionality for monitoring Java application servers and VMware. Beyond this, Zabbix Network Monitoring also covers notifications, permission management, system maintenance, and troubleshooting - so you can be confident that every potential challenge and task is under your control. If you're working with larger environments, you'll also be able to find out more about distributed data collection using Zabbix proxies. Once you're confident and ready to put these concepts into practice, you'll find out how to optimize and improve performance. Troubleshooting network issues is vital for anyone working with Zabbix, so the book is also on hand to help you work through any technical snags and glitches you might face. Network monitoring doesn't have to be a chore - learn the tricks of the Zabbix trade and make sure you're network is performing for everyone who depends upon it.

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank my family and friends. Not spotlighting here—but if you think whether this includes you, yes, it does.

I would also like to thank all the people I have worked with. It was a great experience at the State Social Insurance Agency, and it was helped by being surrounded by nice people.

A huge thank you goes to everybody at Zabbix. Besides being experts in their own and many other fields, my Zabbix team members were extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. And it is true for everybody in the team. You are all great and will achieve a lot.

The Zabbix community deserves an extra mention. I have met a lot of wonderful people through the Zabbix community, and it is such a pleasure to meet them again every year in Riga, at the Zabbix conference. It is the community that takes Zabbix from the pure product level to something more.

And all you great people at Packt Publishing—thank you for dealing with the delays in Zabbix releases, my own schedule delays, and all the other small things. If you are reading this before the book is out, you know you have helped a lot.

Thank you all.
