zabbix logo distributed system monitoring zabbix

Zabbix can monitor various network parameters to ensure the safe operation of the server system; and provide a soft notification mechanism to allow system administrators to quickly locate/solve various problems.

Zabbix consists of 2 parts, zabbix server and optional component zabbix agent.
The zabbix server can provide monitoring of remote server/network status, data collection and other functions through SNMP, zabbix agent, ping, port monitoring, etc. It can run on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Free BSD, Open BSD, On platforms such as OS X.
The zabbix agent needs to be installed on the monitored target server. It mainly completes the collection of hardware information or operating system-related memory, CPU and other information. zabbix agent can run on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Free BSD, Open BSD, OS X, Tru64/OSF1, Windows NT4.0, Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista) and other systems.

The zabbix server can monitor the service status of the remote server alone; it can also cooperate with the zabbix agent to poll the zabbix agent to actively receive monitoring data (trapping mode), and also passively receive data sent by the zabbix agent (trapping mode).
In addition, zabbix server also supports SNMP (v1, v2), which can be used in conjunction with SNMP software (eg: net-snmp).
