How to monitoring distributed software? Possibly with SNMP?

[NAR]

Hello!

I have to monitor a software (possibly with Zabbix) that runs on many hosts. The hosts are dynamically added and removed to the software, maybe one or two are known at startup, but the rest is not. My original idea was to put a small SNMP agent on all hosts running the software,...

Hello,

I'm exploring possible options to monitor ~20k servers with the potential to scale even larger.

I would like to know the community thoughts on an environment this large and what kind of architecture would be best suited.

The requirements are to have...

I'm looking to replace an existing Nagios deployment of 3 main sites, each of which has its own monitor server. Communications between the 3 sites are not always reliable, so I need to have each site be able to generate its own notifications, but I also want centralised configuration because we know,...

I'm experiencing an annoying issue where I cannot graph data for any items from distributed zabbix server on the master node for a time frame of more than 4 days at a time. If I stretch out the time frame beyond that, all the values go to zero on any data gathered from a secondary node.

I have a DM setup with one master and 3 children. All of the childrens' alerts show up in the master's 'System Status' and 'Host Status' panes in the dashboard but 1 child's (maybe 2 of them, actually) alerts never show up in the 'last 20 events' list. If I switch 'current node' to the child node, they...

I want to do distributed monitoring of remote networks where the connection back to the central server is very bandwidth limited.

Documentation says that no item related information (like last check and last value of items) is sent across nodes, but history and events are sent every 10...

Ok, I have one master zabbix node and a few slaves at different data centers. all my clients at each data center talk to the local zabbix server and that server is forwarding info back to the central server.

My question is: If an alert pops and is intercepted by a slave zabbix node, does...

Hi,

My original ambition for the Zabbix distributed monitoring was to have several worker nodes handing event processing to a single master.

However from my testing of Zabbix server 1.8.2 although events are being relayed to the master (viewable from the main monitoring...

Hi all,

We have configured a DM hierarchy with a master and 3 slaves. Everything has gone really well - data, triggers etc are all syncing correctly with the master and we can view all the information of all 4 nodes from the interface on the master with our Administrator logins.

Hi there,

I was wondering whether it would be possible to have a distributed Zabbix deployment where child and master nodes were of different versions - minor version differences, specifically 1.4.6 and 1.6.x?

In this case I'm specifically interested whether the master...
