Met het programma Zabbix kan je verschillende onderdelen van je netwerk en services op je servers in de gaten houden. Het programma ondersteunt twee verschillende mogelijkheden om de relevante informatie binnen te halen. Het kan vanaf zijn eigen host requests uitsturen naar de verschillende services en netwerkonderdelen die daar vervolgens op reageren. Daarnaast is er een zogenaamde agent aanwezig die geïnstalleerd kan worden op de in de gaten te houden host waarmee gedetailleerde informatie binnen gehaald kan worden. Voor meer informatie over Zabbix verwijzen we jullie door naar deze en deze pagina.
