Zabbix Cookbook

Who this book is for

This book focuses on system administrators who have some basic experience or no experience at all with Zabbix. This book will guide you from the setup until getting messages about problems that have been found by Zabbix. It will be useful if you have some programming skills because in Chapter 10, Zabbix Maintenance and API, we'll talk about the API; but for the rest of the book, no programming skills are needed. This book shows you how to create items to monitor IPMI- and SNMP-capable devices, databases, and so on. Hence, wide knowledge of IT is certainly useful if you would like to learn how to monitor with Zabbix. After all, you need to understand first what you want to monitor before learning how to monitor it.
