Create more how to's and tutorials

[sph919]

Hi guys,

I've been using Zabbix for about 2 weeks and I'm 100% behind it. Can you start adding, how to's, guides and tutorials onto a blog or stick them on YouTube. Some suggestions:

How to compile agent for Windows, Linux and Solaris
How to create a proxy
Setting up encryption on Windows, Linux and Solaris PSK and Certificate

I know people can go figure it out, but It would be good have a central place where you can look through guides and maybe find out something that you did know Zabbix could do.

Please start looking on answers on all those questions using google.

That such a waste of peoples time IMO. If you are the source of information, the information will be correct and up to date and your are driving people towards your product. No pushing them onto someone else's blog that's out of date and half wrong.

Hi All,

Just to add to the discussion - we've been receiving more requests for how to's lately, so that is definitely something worth considering. While I can not give you an exact timeline for this, efforts will be made to improve the situation.
As an alternative, there's also Zabbix training: https://www.zabbix.com/training

Cheers,

Yea don't get me wrong guys there is stuff out there although not a lot of how to's on the main Zabbix youtube page, but people are spending half there day fingering it out and implementing it (many of use are wearing different hat's in within a IT role and time is valuable) The more accessible it is the more people will use it, recommend it and it isn't going to be a painstacking project to move all your monitoring (thinking of people with 250+ mixed estates).
