Beyond the Loadable ModuleZabbix loadable module provides a great way to extend capabilities
of your Zabbix implementation, but knowing how to integrate your
favorite interpreter with Zabbix, will bring you further than just
creating the loadable module itself.

Zabbix and SNMP on LinuxMost often Zabbix users will monitor Linux hosts using the Zabbix agent, however SNMP is not only an option, it's actually a very viable one. Andrew Nelson will describe his experience configuring Zabbix to monitor a Linux environment of over 500 systems using only SNMP.

Working the API like a Unix ProCommunicating with the Zabbix API can be quite cumbersome,
especially if you don't have a background as a programmer. For a
sysadmin, it would be very nice if one could just run some CLI commands
to control Zabbix behavior.

SHORT TALK: Monitoring Large Multi-Site Data EnvironmentDimitri Bellini and his customer Stefano Zuliani ,representative of a major Italian bank, will present a talk showcasing how Zabbix is used in a large enterprise infrastructure based on SAN Switches and IBM Mainframe HOST. The speech's focus will be on the integration process, case studying the integration of Zabbix with the Noc team of a large Italian bank using Zabbix API and a WEB front-end specialized for monitoring of Mainframe Storage Area Network infrastructure.

How to Monitor Bilions of Miles Shared by 20 milion users with Zabbix: A Case Study at BlaBlaCarThis talk will cover a case study at BlaBlaCar, a transport network community with more than 20 milion members in 19 countires. The presentation will overview using a low-powered virtual machine to monitor the whole environment, concentrating on LLD and trapper items. Also projects like python-protobix, jmx-zabbix and python-zabbix will be covered.

SHORT TALK: Advanced SysOps by using HyClopsThis talk will demonstrate the capabilities of HyClops (open source), integrating it for Zabbix management The presentation will overview the benefits of three components of HyClops - job monitoring module, proxy auto management module and external job management tool (JobShceduler), as well as automatic distribution control of Zabbix Proxy based on rules, discussing the path of future development and operation possibilities.

SHORT TALK: Monitoring Payment QueuesWhen every message has an explicit monetary value, close monitoring of message queues is critical. In this talk Lukasz Lipski will present an overview of the ways Zabbix can monitor IBM MQ - with examples of channel and queue monitoring. An agent module will also be presented (using a feature introduced in Zabbix 2.2) that extends the agent with IBM MQ specific metrics.

Case Study: Zabbix deployment at Globo.comThis talk will cover two years of Zabbix deployment at Globo.com - the web branch of Rede Globo, a major media player in Brazil providing access to media products to more than 1,8 million visitors hourly, 45 millions each day. The case study will include migration from legacy systems, integration, templates and deployment, suming up the challenges, solutions and the gained knowledge.

SHORT TALK: Zabbix Tool for Graph VisualizationDesigning custom reports for multi-host items in Zabbix can be a tedious manual effort. Moreover, creating new screens and graphs requires read-write access to Zabbix, potentially compromising security if granted to all Zabbix users. Graph tool is implemented at RingCentral Company (making it open source is one of the goals at the conference), which allows fast creation of custom graphs for any Zabbix user with read-only access. Examples of creating new Zabbix graphs on the fly will be demonstrated in real time by the authors of RingCentral Company. Co-authors of the presentation: Dmitry Tigrov, Sr. Tools Engineer; Dmitry Shchemelinin, Ph.D., Sr. Director of Operations, RingCentral Inc.

Encrypting Daemon Traffic With Zabbix 3.0Are you paranoid? Even if you are not, it might be a good idea to encrypt your email. Important documents. Communication. While monitoring data is not secret in many cases, transmitting it in plaintext over Internet does make some people nervous. And now, with Zabbix 3.0, there's a built-in way to encrypt communication between components, including Zabbix server, proxy, agent, get and sender. Yes, them all. In this short talk we'll learn about the available modes, supported libraries and how to configure it all to still make sense a few years later.

Reporting Large Environment Zabbix DatabaseDatabase Reporting may help in many areas. -Managing Zabbix Large Environment with 14 000 hosts, 10 000 items and 10 000 triggers for over 7 000 NVS is not so easy and Zabbix Administrators need some High Level Dashboards to sanitize and standardize configurations. - Some events (as for example the loss of a part of a Datacenter) need Summary Report because, on such Large Environment, Zabbix will fire too many informations. - Designing High level dashboards for key actors as Managers, forecasters, ... We will see how we can organize Zabbix Database Reporting for such Large Environment with OpenBI tools.

Employing Zabbix to monitor OpenWrt (Beesip) devices with UciprovBeesip (Bright Efficient Embedded Solution for IP Telephony) is platform based on OpenWrt, primarily made for IP telephony purposes. The aim of the project is the development and implementation of embedded SIP communication server with an easy integration into the computer network based on open-source solutions. Beesip uses uciprov for remote management and provisioning. Next to this, it uses Zabbix for inventory and monitoring utilizing auto-discovery and auto-registration. Even if it is used primarily for IP telephony, it is common to use Beesip build system for other purposes like monitoring probes distribution or Eduroam AP management. Talk will be practically oriented showing possibilities of provisioning and auto inventory in OpenWrt world.

How to Debug Common Agent IssuesProbably every Zabbix user has a story of a Zabbix agent suddenly failing to work. Computers and networks are complex and diverse, and so are the causes of these problems. This talk introduces a structured approach to debugging configuration problems, connectivity problems and problems in the execution of the agent. It will spotlight common problems, but also some rather obscure ones I met in the wild.

Event-driven Service Discovery
There are multitude of servers, services, dataflows, metrics, logs and actions - the usual way of perciving the IT field, with monitoring being just "the toolset X", "metrics", "triggers/actions", and logging is basically the same thing.

SHORT TALK: Hardening ZabbixA short talk about SELinux configuration for Zabbix Many people just disable SELinux because they don't know how to use it In this talk Patrik Uytterhoeven will cover the basics of SELinux configuration with Zabbix, common pitfalls and solutions to problems, and explain why we need it to keep Zabbix secure.

Using Logstash with ZabbixLogstash is a terrific tool for capturing, filtering, parsing and enriching data from a number of sources—including logs, of course. But Logstash is also able to capture from many other sources, including social media streams, databases, and many more. Data streams like these are a potential gold mine for Zabbix trending and alerting of all kinds.
In this talk Aaron Mildensten will provide an overview of how to configure and integrate Logstash with Zabbix to:
