Introduction

Now that we have seen how to install Zabbix and how to find our way around Zabbix, we will have a look at how to create hosts, add them to existing groups and create new groups. We will also have a look at the user permissions in Zabbix, as some changes have been introduced since Zabbix 2.2, and of course, all the different authentication methods available in Zabbix.
