Zabbix Labs kicks off its Latin American roadshow with an edition in Recife
March 14, 2025 – The city of Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco, was the starting point of the Zabbix Labs Roadshow across Latin America. With full attendance, the event brought together IT infrastructure monitoring professionals and enthusiasts for a full day of technical training and hands-on sessions focused on the Zabbix platform.
On Saturday, March 12, 77 participants from 38 companies attended workshops and lectures on key topics such as alert automation, event correlation, integrations with tools like WhatsApp, ChatGPT, Ansible, and IoT monitoring. The event also included a special moment to commemorate Zabbix’s 20th anniversary, also celebrated on the same day.
The hands-on labs were led by Victor Breda Credidio, Zabbix Trainer and official instructor of Zabbix courses worldwide.
In addition, the event featured sector experts, including:
- Marcilio Da Silva Ramos, Monitoring Manager at HostDime, with the talk “Using Zabbix as an IoT Monitoring System.”
- André Felipe Marques, SRE at Urbano Vitalino Advogados, who presented “How to Use WhatsApp and ChatGPT to Extract Metrics from Zabbix.”
- Hernandes Martins, Zabbix Specialist at Lunio, who led the session “Building a Zabbix Environment with Ansible.”
One of the attendees, Leonel Pinheiro Correa, Data Center Analyst, shared his experience:
“Zabbix Labs was a great opportunity to dive deep into Zabbix features and apply them directly to my work.”
Although the event was originally designed for 80 attendees, more than 140 registrations were received — highlighting the importance of initiatives targeting the technical community in northeastern Brazil.
Zabbix Labs is a free initiative that will continue its journey through 11 additional cities in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Mexico, aiming to strengthen technical knowledge among teams who already use or are planning to implement Zabbix.
This first edition was made possible thanks to the support of 13 sponsors, including: JLCP, Unirede, Lunio, Master Support, Voyager, IOS Informática, CTL, Custos Monitoring, Know How, Dicnova, Zatagonet, Murc, and Imagunet.
