Zabbix Features for Monitoring

 

Monitoring Metric Collection

 Zabbix can collect monitoring metrics from any type of IT infrastructure. Zabbix supports multiple mechanisms for collecting the performance metrics – be it Agent-Based or Agent-Less methods. You can also write your own custom scripts for collecting metrics from your applications and database.

                                           

Zabbix can detect the problem states within the incoming metric flow automatically, sparing your time and effort.

  • Highly flexible definition options
  • Separate problem conditions and resolution conditions
  • Multiple severity levels
  • Root cause analysis
  • Anomaly detection
  • Trend Prediction

Automate monitoring of large, dynamic environments

  • Take automatic actions upon adding/removing/changing elements.
  • Network discovery: periodically scans network and discovers device type, IP, status, uptime/downtime, etc, and takes predefined actions.
  • Low-level discovery: automatically creates items, triggers, and graphs for different elements on a device.
  • Auto-registration of active agent: automatically starts monitoring new equipment with the Zabbix agent.

Case Studies

Security Head, IT

Fellowes Inc, USA

  

 

Altnix was an instrumental partner in two phases of our Security ISO needs. The first being a comprehensive developed Service/Ticketing system for our global offices. The second being that of an Asset Management tool that ties all assets into our Ticketing systems to close a gap that we had in that category. They are strong partners in working towards a viable solution for our needs

 

 

The Altnix team was very easy to work with and resolved our needs in a timely manner.  Working with Altnix, allowed us to focus on our core business while they handled the technical components to help streamline our business tools.  We have found a strategic partner in Altnix
