1 Deploy Zabbix in the cloud
To start Zabbix in the cloud, follow this process:
- Log in or sign up at cloud.zabbix.com
- Create a cloud node
- Start using Zabbix in the cloud
Log in or sign up
You can log in at cloud.zabbix.com with an existing Google, GitHub, or Microsoft account.
Alternatively, go to the sign up page to register.
After signing up, you will receive a confirmation of your new account in the email.
Go to cloud.zabbix.com to log in. You will be asked for a one-time password when logging in. This password will be sent to you in the email.
Create cloud node
A cloud node is a Zabbix instance, based in the cloud. It includes the Zabbix server, the database, and the web frontend.
When logged in, you will see that a Private organization already exists for your account by default. You can rename the default organization later.
Click on Create New Node. A node configuration form will open.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Select a unique node name. The node name forms a unique URL for the cloud server/frontend, in the format <your-name>.zabbix.cloud. |
| Region | Select the closest data-center location for minimum network latency. |
| Compute | Select the computing power for the node. To determine what level of resources you need, see pricing details. You can always upgrade later if you need more power. A billing method will be required before creating a non-trial node. Add billing information via the Billing menu. A 5-day free trial is available for trying a Nano tier node. You will not be charged during the trial period, but once it ends, your node will be removed if not converted to a paid node. |
| Disk size | The slider defaults to a recommended minimum based on tier. Increase it if you store large volumes of history or trends. Be aware that larger disks incur higher monthly costs and that you cannot shrink a disk yourself—you'd need to contact support to reduce it. |
After completing the form, click on Create New Node. As the node is being initialized, a corresponding message is displayed and the node already appears under Organizations.
Start using Zabbix
When the node status changes from Initializing to Running, you can log in to the Zabbix frontend.
To access the initial frontend password, click on the created node.
You will be taken to node settings (overview, access filters, encryption, backups, etc.). In Connection info, click Password settings and select Copy initial password from the dropdown.
Click the frontend URL to open Zabbix frontend (us-east-01.zabbix.cloud).
Log in using the following credentials:
- Username -
Admin - Password - provide the initial password (e.g., HzTG9t7Y)
To start monitoring, you need to define access filters - IP address or addresses that are allowed to connect to the Zabbix cloud server. At least one must be defined.
Organization management
An organization is a container for one or more nodes. Organizations also help you structure your resources and delegate responsibilities, such as:
- Node management
- Billing
When you log in to Zabbix Cloud, the All organizations page is displayed. By default, a private organization is created for your account.
As the owner of this organization, you can manage users, admins, nodes, and the organization name. Click the 
settings button to access management options.
