Hi,

Use zabbix agent to monitor system operations like windows/linux and snmp to network devices, odbc to databases and more details, please read the http://zabbix.com/documentation.

thanks for your reply. my understanding here: correct me if wrong
i need install ZABBIX AGENT on every server. (win or nix). after agent installed successfully. the zabbix able to begin to collect information

so there are two part job:
1.setup ZABBIX server
2. install ZABBIX agent on all target servers

Yes, but in the firt time, create a lab to understand the correct parameters to install and configure.

There are many videos on youtube zabbix channel about.
