14:15 30 m	The 6+1 Deadly Sins of Monitoring	Jochen Weschta, Managing Director, SCADIX GmbH, Germany	DE	Integration	Read more 14:15 30 m The 6+1 Deadly Sins of Monitoring The talk explains why monitoring often fails to deliver real stability. It is installed instead of designed, grows historically without a clear architecture, and loses effectiveness due to missing processes, ownership, and prioritization. Common issues include manual deployments, poor data strategies, untested high availability, infrastructure only monitoring without business context, and too many alerts that no one takes seriously. The core message is that monitoring does not create value by collecting more metrics. It creates value by providing clarity, structure, and a clear understanding of why something is being monitored. Jochen Weschta Managing Director, SCADIX GmbH, Germany Jochen Weschta is the Founder & CEO of SCADIX GmbH and has been deeply rooted in the Zabbix ecosystem for more than 8 years. During this time, he has designed, implemented, and optimized monitoring environments ranging from medium-sized businesses to enterprise-scale infrastructures.
