Zabbix Conference LatAm 2016 - Marcio Prop - Monitoring Complex Environments with Zabbix Monitoring Solution.pdf

This document discusses an "Ahiruyaki" system that monitors the number of times the Japanese term "Ahiruyaki" is mentioned on Twitter using the Zabbix monitoring software. It describes the components of the Ahiruyaki system, including a Mikutter plugin that returns Twitter messages containing "Ahiruyaki", an Ahiruyaki Counter Python script that sends data to Zabbix, and the Zabbix monitoring of the statistics. Details are provided on how the system works and code references are shared so others can create similar systems to monitor term usage on Twitter.

- Lesson 1 emphasizes understanding expectations for Zabbix setup like HA clustering, custom templates, and performance tuning before starting an engagement. - Lesson 2 discusses how failing to properly document requirements like standalone vs clustered installation can lead to mismatched expectations. - Lesson 3 shows that small changes like PHP parameter tuning or agent configuration can significantly improve performance and reduce costs.

Zabbix is an excellent tool to do network monitoring and to alert if something bad happens. But Zabbix can do more. An underestimated feature of Zabbix is its ability to perform actions in addition to simple notifications. However, this requires to precisly setup those actions within zabbix, which is not always an easy task and might duplicate existing work. So what if Zabbix actually worked in concert with an external taskrunner / jobscheduler that is build to do exactly this: run a task or action against a host and report its outcome? Zabbix would perform the same well defined steps that an ops member would perform in case of certain failures using this kind of tool. A well know example of this kind of software is "Rundeck" which is licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0.

This document describes Zabbix-CLI, a command line interface for interacting with the Zabbix monitoring system. It can be used in interactive shell mode by running zabbix-cli or in command line mode by running zabbix-cli with commands and parameters. Examples are provided of using it to show host, alarm, and inventory information. The document also describes using Zabbix-CLI to run commands from a bulk file and how authentication works via an auth file and token file.

The document discusses the need for a Zabbix Proxy Simulator to test Zabbix monitoring configurations at scale. It describes how the current Zabbix Agent Simulator is not scalable and that implementing simulations at the Zabbix Proxy level is the right approach. The Zabbix Proxy Simulator would interface with the Zabbix Server through the proxy interface and use the CLIPS expert system to apply rules to simulated facts and exchange normalized configuration and historical data. While not fully completed, the Python-CLIPS integration provides an experimental foundation.

O documento discute a migração de serviços e servidores entre os data centers da empresa BBTS no Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Ele descreve onde a empresa está localizada, seus principais data centers e unidades de negócios, e como o Zabbix está sendo usado para monitorar ativos, serviços e o negócio durante o processo de migração para garantir a disponibilidade e apresentar resultados.

This document provides an overview and instructions for participating in a webinar. It includes the following: 1. Instructions for connecting to audio and ensuring it is working properly at the start of the webinar. 2. Information on how to ask questions during the webinar by using the chat feature. 3. Notes that some Linux distributions may require additional patches to use VOIP or view the presentation, and that Chrome is not supported - Firefox or IE should be used instead.

During outages on 10k+ hosts environment, NOC and Operations teams may face hundreds of alerts in order to perform root cause analysis, remediation or escalation, meanwhile logging resolution progress to Incident Management system for audit purposes. This presentation will describe RingCentral approach to Incident and Problem Management in large Zabbix monitored cloud. Co-authors of the presentation: Dmitry Shchemelinin, Ph.D., Sr. Director of Operations, RingCentral, USA.

With global shift towards flexibility of cloud there are different demands on monitoring availability and performance of applications provided in the cloud. There are obvious limitations in accessing components of app hosted by third party run outside of internal environment. Same time there are opportunities of using vendor API and status page. In Salesforce, one of the most innovative company in the world by Forbes and one of the biggest cloud service provider, we understand the need of customer to be able to see in real time availability and performance of cloud application. In the following presentation we're going to list and describe multiple ways of monitoring cloud apps. Some of the methods are: building in web monitoring using Curl, web browser automation tools like Selenium, external scripts (reading vendor status dashboard) and API calls to the app.

A case study showing the problems we have resolved with Zabbix and the challenges we had when we implemented Zabbix as the main monitoring tool at the University of Oslo. The number of challenges is not low in an organization as heterogenous as ours, with many thousands of servers and clients, all kinds of devices connected to our infrastructure, different operating systems, multiple locations and hundreds of IT staff. Full automation and delegation of privileges are the key words in the work we have done during the past year and a half.

Ryan will describe a Skunkworks project executed by Kinetic IT at the Department of Education to deliver an autonomous infrastructure monitoring solution for over 6000 devices distributed across WA. The team were given opportunity to experiment with DevOps practices such as Scrum product development, Infrastructure As Code and Continuous Integration to determine where the value lay and which practices should be adopted at greater scale.
