Best Zabbix book

[manowar]

Morning all.

Apologies if this is an answered question but I can't find anything much newer than 2010 in Google/search.

In the absence of any UK training I'm looking at what Zabbix books are available. Amazon shows me these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zabbix-Network-Monitoring-Rihards-Olups/dp/1782161287/

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zabbix-Cookbook-Patrik-Uytterhoeven/dp/178439758X/

which look like they might do.
After something that covers the best practices more than basics (we've been using in a basic form for some time) but also how to get the most out of the more advanced features.
Any recommendations?

I can't give a feedback yet on these books, I just bought the Zabbix Networking Monitoring second edition, but didn't open it yet.

However, for the training, there's a session in June in England, you can see it there : http://www.zabbix.com/training

I'll give a feedback on the book I own probably next week, I'll check it out this weekend.

Hi JanCZ,

Welcome to the forum! For just starting off with Zabbix, our online manual should provide all the necessary insight into installing and rolling out the system. For something more, aside from our training of course, you can check this book right here: https://www.packtpub.com/networking-...second-edition

Obviously that's not the only book worthy of attention

Cheers,

Alex.S

Not to revive an old topic, but I noticed this one is still the top post about Zabbix books.

We just released a new Zabbix 5 cookbook:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1800202237

Furthermore check out the books by Patrik Uytterhoeven which are a great read.
