17:00 20 m	Multi-Tenant Zabbix for MSPs: Scaling Customers Without Scaling the Ops Team	Alexandre Georges, Founder & Principal Consultant, Mageo Services Sàrl, Switzerland	Omega	MSP Technical	Read more 17:00 20 m Omega Multi-Tenant Zabbix for MSPs: Scaling Customers Without Scaling the Ops Team Operating Zabbix for multiple MSP customers raises a set of practical questions that go beyond monitoring itself: how to provision new environments, isolate customers, manage users and identity providers, route alerts correctly, handle secrets, and keep upgrades and support manageable as the number of customers grows. Over the last 18 months, we have been working in close partnership with an MSP customer to build a managed Zabbix platform around these constraints. The goal is to make it possible to offer Zabbix to ten, thirty, or fifty customers without every new customer adding the same amount of manual operational work. In this presentation, I will share what we learned from that work: the design choices we are making, what is already running in production, and the questions that are still open. The architecture includes Kubernetes-based provisioning of Zabbix instances, SSO-based user provisioning, per-tenant secret vaulting, and scoped alert routing. Although the examples come from an MSP context, the same issues appear in other environments where Zabbix is operated across multiple business units, subsidiaries, customers, or isolated infrastructure domains. The session is intended for people who need to scale Zabbix operations in a controlled and maintainable way, and who want a practical implementation example to compare with their own constraints. Alexandre Georges Founder & Principal Consultant, Mageo Services Sàrl, Switzerland Alexandre has spent 25 years in IT, across systems, networks, and operations, including more than 10 years working hands-on with Zabbix. He is the founder of mageo services, a Swiss Certified Zabbix Delivery Partner, helping customers design, deploy, and operate Zabbix in real-world environments, from small installations to larger and more complex monitoring platforms.

17:20 20 m	What Else Can You Monitor: From Concrete to Bacteria	Sofie Tellberg, Quality Coordinator, Micasa Fastigheter, Sweden Karl Frisell, Head of Projects, Micasa Fastigheter, Sweden	Omega	Technical Use case	Read more 17:20 20 m Omega What Else Can You Monitor: From Concrete to Bacteria In our presentation we would like to show how we use Zabbix far beyond traditional IT monitoring by collecting and visualizing real-time sensor data from the construction and real estate industry. We would like to present our use case that won first prize in last year’s “What do YOU monitor with Zabbix?” competition. In this project we embedded active sensors inside concrete and leveling compound to continuously measure relative humidity (RH) and monitor the drying process in real time. Traditionally, this process relies on manual measurements and periodic inspections, providing only isolated snapshots. By integrating sensors with Zabbix through APIs, dashboards, graphs, prediction widgets and real-time visualization we created a more dynamic and data-driven approach to moisture monitoring and construction planning. In this presentation we would also like to introduce our new pilot project where we monitor the temperature of hot water pipes to identify potential risks of Legionella bacteria growth at a much earlier stage. Early tests have already shown highly interesting results compared to traditional methods used today, revealing new possibilities for proactive monitoring and safer buildings. Through these projects we want to highlight the enormous hidden potential of operational data within buildings and construction environments. Large amounts of valuable data already exist around us but remain completely unmonitored. Our goal is to inspire new ways of thinking about monitoring, automation and how platforms like Zabbix can help transform the physical world into actionable real-time insights. Sofie Tellberg Quality Coordinator, Micasa Fastigheter, Sweden Sofie Tellberg works as a Quality Coordinator at Micasa Fastigheter, with previous experience in environmental coordination and contaminated buildings. Today, her work focuses on quality, sustainability, innovation and digitalization within construction and real estate projects. She is also a member of the MTK (Environment, Technology and Quality) committee within the industry organization Byggherrarna. Her work is driven by a strong interest in data-driven monitoring and exploring how technology can create smarter, safer and more sustainable buildings and construction processes.

10:30 20 m	Deep Application/OS Insight via eBPF and Zabbix	Karel Bělunek, Senior Solutions Architect, TSP Data, Czechia	Omega	Integration Technical	Read more 10:30 20 m Omega Deep Application/OS Insight via eBPF and Zabbix In real-world environments we encountered issues such as slow DNS resolution caused by primary DNS server failures, significant TLS handshake delays introduced by packet inspection appliances, or scheduler latency caused by CPU steal in virtualized environments. These types of “ghost hunting” scenarios are often extremely difficult to identify using traditional monitoring alone. This presentation introduces a practical approach for extending Zabbix with deep observability using eBPF. The session will also include a short introduction to eBPF itself — what eBPF is, how it works, and what kinds of observability, monitoring and troubleshooting use-cases it enables. We will present the architecture of an open-source solution built around two utilities: zabbix-ebpf-loader and zabbix-agent2-plugin-bpffs. The eBPF programs attach to tracepoints, kprobes or uprobes and collect low-level operating system and application metrics. The design intentionally focuses on lightweight in-kernel aggregation — instead of storing individual events, the eBPF programs only increment counters or update latency histogram buckets stored in pinned BPF maps in bpffs. This keeps runtime overhead extremely low and minimizes the performance impact of the monitoring itself. The Zabbix Agent2 plugin zabbix-agent2-plugin-bpffs periodically reads these already aggregated metrics and leverages standard Zabbix capabilities for evaluation, triggering, correlation, long-term trending and visualization. The goal of the solution is not to provide full distributed tracing or packet inspection — there are already specialized tools for those areas. Instead, the design focuses on lightweight observability based on aggregated metrics with minimal overhead, specifically suited for troubleshooting production issues and “ghost hunting” scenarios that are often invisible to traditional monitoring. The solution also provides a simple ready-to-use framework for creating custom observability modules. Using modern LLM tools, users can generate their own eBPF tracing plugins for specific troubleshooting scenarios without being experts in kernel internals or the eBPF ecosystem. The presentation will focus primarily on practical principles and real-world use-cases rather than deep kernel internals. Demonstrated examples will include monitoring of DNS lookup latency, TLS handshake latency, scheduler wait latency, TCP retransmissions and OOM events — problems that traditional monitoring systems often fail to capture effectively. The session will include demonstrations of a functional Proof of Concept implementation together with links to open-source GitHub repositories containing both utilities as well as example eBPF observability modules.

Service Monitoring enables the creation of hierarchical service trees that provide a business-level overview of IT services, support SLA calculation and evaluation, simplify incident notification, and help identify root causes of service disruptions. While Zabbix offers powerful monitoring capabilities, its native visualization options for service status presentation are limited. To address this challenge, we developed custom dashboard widgets that significantly extend the visualization capabilities of Zabbix Services. The presentation demonstrates how these widgets improve service visibility, operational awareness, and communication of service health across IT teams and stakeholders.

15:00 20 m	Zabbix External Data Streaming: Network Topology	Andrew Wojnarek, Chief Technology Officer, The ATS Group, USA	Omega	Technical	Read more 15:00 20 m Omega Zabbix External Data Streaming: Network Topology Building accurate network topology maps is deceptively complex. Before a single relationship can be visualized, the groundwork must be in place: CDP/LLDP must be enabled across every device, SNMP OIDs must be correctly configured in your Zabbix templates, and the sheer volume of neighbor data collected can introduce significant noise into your monitoring environment. This talk explores how we have operationalized network topology discovery at scale using Zabbix — from initial scoping with network engineers to proceduralized onboarding requirements — and how we are streaming that data to third-party topology platforms via Zabbix's external data streaming capabilities. We will also address the real-world challenges that go beyond Zabbix itself: inline security appliances, unsupported device types, and proprietary technologies that complicate any topology effort. Finally, because neighbor data collection is a high-throughput operation, we will share performance-oriented modifications we have made to the Zabbix codebase — including bypassing the Zabbix database entirely for this data type and streaming it directly — significantly reducing I/O load on Zabbix servers and proxies. We are actively working to contribute these changes upstream to the Zabbix project.

Start Monitoring Services. Modern monitoring teams often collect thousands of infrastructure metrics but still struggle to answer a simple business question: "Is the service working for users?" In this session, we will explore a practical approach to IT service monitoring using Zabbix and Grafana. Based on real-world projects in banking and enterprise environments, the presentation demonstrates how to move beyond host and application monitoring and build service-oriented observability. Attendees will learn how to model IT services, map dependencies between infrastructure components, applications, databases, and integrations, and present service health in a way that is meaningful for both engineers and business stakeholders. The session also covers service hierarchy implementation in Zabbix, visualization techniques in Grafana, and examples of business-oriented KPIs such as transaction success rates, service availability, and response times. The talk is aimed at monitoring engineers, DevOps and SRE teams, IT operations managers, and architects looking to align technical monitoring with business outcomes.
