Hi everyone,
I would like to share a new Capacity Planning module for Zabbix.
The module analyses historical monitoring data to help operations teams identify potential capacity problems before they become incidents. It can estimate when disk space may be full and indicate whether CPU or memory consumption is increasing to a level where additional resources may be required.
Main features
The purpose of the module is to help operations teams work proactively, improve capacity planning or take actions to reduce capacity needs and reduce avoidable incidents caused by resource exhaustion.
Predictions are based on the historical data available in Zabbix. Results should therefore be treated as planning guidance and NOT a guaranteed forecasts. Sudden changes in workload, application behaviour or data growth can affect the estimates.

Main features
- Analyses disk, CPU and memory utilization
- Estimates the time until a disk becomes full
- Estimates the time until configured warning or critical thresholds are reached
- Uses several historical periods to identify both long-term growth and recent changes
- Provide capacity planning report for hosts
- Uses read-only access to the Zabbix API
