Met het programma Zabbix kan je verschillende onderdelen van een netwerk en de daarop aangeboden services in de gaten houden. Het programma ondersteunt twee verschillende mogelijkheden om de relevante informatie binnen te halen. Zo kan het vanaf zijn eigen host requests uitsturen naar de verschillende services en netwerkonderdelen, die daar vervolgens op reageren. Daarnaast kan er ook een Zabbix-agent op een Windows- of Linux-machine geïnstalleerd worden, zodat deze informatie verzameld en doorstuurt. Afgelopen donderdag is er met versienummer 1.6 een nieuwe versie van Zabbix verschenen en hieronder is te vinden wat er allemaal veranderd is:
