Server monitoring

Monitor any possible server performance metrics and incidents:

Server performance

High CPU or memory utilization
Network bandwidth usage
Packet loss rate
Interface error rate
Number of tcp connections is anomaly high for this day of the week
Aggregate throughput of core routers is low

Server availability

Free disk space is low
System status is in warning/critical state
Device temperature is too high / too low
Power supply is in critical state
Fan is in critical state
No SNMP data collection
Network connection is down

Configuration changes

New components added or removed
Network module is added, removed or replaced
Firmware has been upgraded
Device serial number has changed
Interface has changed to lower speed or half-duplex mode

This is a sample list of server-related metrics and incidents, monitored by Zabbix out of the box. See the full list in template descriptions. You can extend/change the scope of monitored objects by adding new items, writing custom data collection scripts, building custom templates, etc.

Use out-of-the-box templates to monitor all popular servers & OS:

Out-of-the-box templates come with preconfigured items, triggers, graphs, applications, screens, low-level discovery rules, web scenarios, etc.

Zabbix features and benefits

Metric collection

Various data collection methods and protocols

SNMP, IPMI
Active / Passive modes
IPv6 support

Flexible and extendable data gathering

Calculated and aggregated metrics. For example: sum of traffic between two ports on a network switch.
Preprocess collected data. For example: use regexp to extract some specific metric from legacy device.

Autodiscovery

Autodetect network devices. For example: new switch added, replaced or removed.
Autodetect device configuration changes. For example: new network modules added, or replaced; firmware upgraded.
