Newb to Zabbix. Anybody have any suggestions to ease my way in?

[ehanpaul8]

I'm a junior net admin. The cyber-security guy in our organization has introduced Zabbix as a means of monitoring network and server stuff, but not only am I unfamiliar with this program, I'm almost completely unfamiliar with Linux in general. I'd like to download the program to mess around with it, and I've looked to do it on a VM running Ubuntu as well as my desktop on Windows 10, but with all the tarball and other Linux jargon I haven't gotten very far. Where do 10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254

start? and once I've gotten started, which aspects of the program should I look into for more of a network focus? If this is a retarded question. let me know if there's a better sub for it.

Thanks!

I started with a pre-built VHD from the Sourceforge repository. https://sourceforge.net/projects/zab...test%20Stable/ I used the 4.4.6 VHD (not VHDX, didn't want to start w/o error).
Still using it in my home lab.
Even with that, it's quite a learning curve. Once you get the VM up, install an agent on another Windows box and try it out. https://www.zabbix.com/integrations?cat=agents
Folks have built templates that you can apply to hosts you create and are available at https://share.zabbix.com/
For example, you can create a host for your Hyper-V host and apply a Hyper-V template and monitor the virtual host.
