Zabbix in selfhosted env

a year ago by cichy1173 to c/selfhosted

Hello. Does anyone here use Zabbix to monitor their self-hosted environment? If so, what architecture do you have, and what does your deployment look like?

I used to. It's really complicated and not big in the self hosted space.

I'd recommend the standard Prometheus, alert manager, and grafana stack instead. That's what I use now, and although yaml sure is something, at least there's tons of people to copy.

But can Prometheus + Grafana e.g. monitor a website’s content and alert when there is a new firmware version available?

Zabbix can be configured completely via its GUI. It’s really easy once you get the hang of it.

Ehh. I wouldn’t say it’s ever easy. At least not the initial setup. No matter how many times I do it, that initial setup is always a pain in the butt.

But once you get it configured and go through the initial headaches, it’s a breeze to coast on it.

Zabbix is more powerfull for complex alerting scenarios and has better agent-based monitoring, while Prom/Grafana excels at metrics visualzation and integrates better with containers - they're actually complementary depending on what you're monitoring.
