React proactively with trend prediction

While it is nice to have thresholds for problem detection, it's more efficient to react to issues proactively. Zabbix predictive functions can help you achieve that goal:

• Forecasting a value for early alerting
• Predicting time left until reaching a problem threshold

Detect anomalies by using baseline monitoring

Defining problem thresholds manually is not always an efficient approach. In dynamic environments where the baseline values can periodically change it is important to automatically calculate a reference point against which the problem threshold will be calculated. Zabbix Baseline monitoring enables you to do just that:

• Detect anomalies based on analysis of history data in real-time
• Get powerful insights using baseline monitoring

Analyze and correlate metrics with graphs

Define custom graphs or access ad-hoc graphs with a click of a button:

Keep track of your monitoring targets on an interactive geo-map

Present status of your infrastructure on maps

Display statuses of your elements together with real time data to get a detailed overview of your infrastructure on a Zabbix map:

Generate scheduled PDF reports

Receive scheduled PDF reports providing useful statistics of your environment:

• Get reports delivered straight to your Inbox
• Can be scheduled for daily, weekly, or monthly delivery
• Notify your customers about their infrastructure health

Now any Zabbix dashboard can be turned into a PDF report!

Extend Zabbix frontend and create custom dashboard widgets

Extend the native Zabbix frontend functionality by developing your own frontend widgets and modules:

• Develop custom ways to visualize your data tailor-made for your business
• Create custom views of the collected data and generated events with custom frontend modules
• Enrich Zabbix frontend with your corporate branding

Learn how to extend Zabbix frontend and create your own widgets and modules by visiting Zabbix Developer Center:

• Learn from a selection of examples provided by Zabbix developers
• Write your first Zabbix module or widget by following a step-by-step tutorial

Monitor business-level impact

Define services and create service trees to perform impact analysis:

Business services provide full support for multi-tenant environments with a flexible permission schema:

SLA Monitoring

Define services and service components with custom SLA calculation logic:

Restrict access with a flexible permission schema

Zabbix provides a flexible user permission schema which can be efficiently used to manage user permissions within one Zabbix installation or in a distributed environment.

You can define three levels of permissions:

User types are used to define access to administrative functions and to specify default permissions:

Secure your workflow with User Roles

Create your own custom user roles with a granular set of permissions for different types of users in your environment.

User roles also enable you to Hide or show Zabbix UI elements to fit the needs of your users and customers.

With user Roles you can:

Authenticate users by utilizing existing infrastructure

Integrate Zabbix together with your existing authentication mechanisms. Zabbix supports a variety of authentication methods:

With native support for HTTP, LDAP and SAML authentication you can provide an additional layer of security and improve the user experience while working with Zabbix.

Out-of-the-box support of multi-factor authentication enables enterprise-grade security and more flexibility for configuring user authentication methods:

• Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) authentication
• Duo Universal Prompt authentication

Keep secrets secure

Once entered, you have the option to hide your sensitive information from prying eyes:

Deploy an external vault to keep your secrets under tight control:

Keep track of configuration changes

Track changes in your environment by utilizing the Audit log:

Restrict data collection

Restrict access to sensitive information by limiting which metrics can be collected in your environment:

Automatically provision your Zabbix users

Just-in-Time user provisioning enables you to integrate Zabbix with your existing LDAP or SAML infrastructure and automatically provision Zabbix users in a centralized and secure way:

• Automatic role and permission assignment
• Continuous user account management with SCIM provisioning
• Automatic provisioning of alert message endpoints based on user LDAP/SAML attributes

Monitor remote locations without fear of data loss

Monitor locations all over the globe! Collect metrics from remote locations securely and prevent data loss even in case of a network outage. By deploying Zabbix proxies you can:

With Zabbix proxies you can execute remote commands in remote locations - either on the proxies themselves or on the agents monitored by the proxy.

Load balancing and High Availability

Prevent data loss and add an extra layer of redundancy with Zabbix High availability: Deploy multiple Zabbix frontends to avoid downtime and improve the user experience: Let Zabbix automatically balance your hosts across multiple proxies by defining Zabbix proxy groups:

• Let Zabbix scale your monitored infrastructure horizontally by automatically balancing your load across Zabbix proxies
• Zabbix supports automatic failover whenever a proxy in a proxy group goes down
• Customize the Load Balancing logic by defining custom failover periods and minimum number of required nodes per proxy group

Preserve and store your data

Define flexible storage periods for different data sets:

Zabbix is capable of storing history metrics and collecting hourly metric trends for an unlimited time period.

For example, to preserve database storage space, you may opt-in to store the history data for 6 months while storing hourly trends for 2 years:

• Out of the box partitioning support improves the performance and ease of removing old data

With Zabbix you are the sole owner of your data:

• None of the collected data or telemetry get sent to Zabbix LLC or any other 3rd parties
