Requirements

You will need access to several PCs and/or locally hosted or cloud hosted VMs and/or Rasberry PIs. In this course I demonstrate various features using Windows 10, Ubuntu, Rasberry Pi and MacOSX
You have the choice of using dedicated hardware, or using cloud or locally hosted VM managers such as Oracle Virtual Box. The more variation you can access, the better. Zabbix agents will run on most OSs, but Zabbix Server and Proxy will need Linux such as Ubuntu or CentOS
In this course I predominantly demonstrate using Ubuntu Linux, but also provide CentOS equivalent commands in accompanying documentation where applicable.

Description

Zabbix is a complete open source monitoring software solution for networks, operating systems and applications.

In this course you will install and extensively configure Zabbix Server, Zabbix Proxy, multiple Zabbix Agents on Windows, Linux and MacOS whether on the same network, or behind a firewall, on dedicated hardware or locally or cloud hosted VMs.

Zabbix can be used in the enterprise or even on you own home network where you can have much better visibility of the things connected and running on it and how they are used.

Who this course is for:

Network Engineers
IT Platform Specialists
System Administrators
DevOps Technicians
Enthusiasts wanting a better understanding and better visibility of their networks in the home or office
Someone who is curious and wants a better understanding of what Zabbix does and what Zabbix is good at
