Overview of this book

Nowadays, monitoring systems play a crucial role in any IT environment. They are extensively used to not only measure your system’s performance, but also to forecast capacity issues. This is where Zabbix, one of the most popular monitoring solutions for networks and applications, comes into the picture. With an efficient monitoring system in place, you’ll be able to foresee when your infrastructure runs under capacity and react accordingly. Due to the critical role a monitoring system plays, it is fundamental to implement it in the best way from its initial setup. This avoids misleading, confusing, or, even worse, false alarms that can disrupt an efficient and healthy IT department. This course is for administrators who are looking for an end-to-end monitoring solution. It will get you accustomed with the powerful monitoring solution, starting with installation and explaining the fundamentals of Zabbix. Moving on, we explore the complex functionalities of Zabbix in the form of enticing recipes. These recipes will help you to gain control of your infrastructure. You will be able to organize your data in the form of graphs and charts along with building intelligent triggers for monitoring your network proactively. Toward the end, you will gain expertise in monitoring your networks and applications using Zabbix.

Yowsup has been used to create an unofficial WhatsApp client for Nokia N9 through the Wazapp project, which was in use by more than 200K users. Another fully featured unofficial client for Blackberry 10 has been created using Yowsup, which is a robust component that we can use for our integration.

Let's have a look at the requirements:

  • Python 2.6+, or Python 3.0 +

  • Python packages: python-dateutil

  • Python packages for end-to-end encryption: protobuf, pycrypto, and python-axolotl-curve25519

  • Python packages for yowsup-cli: argparse, readline, and pillow (to send images...
