– Powerful enterprise grade monitoring driven by Open Source
summary
Zabbix claims real-world scale: 50,000+ hosts monitored by a single instance and a recorded 15,000 metrics per host use case, with over 30,000 tracked installations. Architecture uses a Linux server, supported databases (Postgres/Timescale, MySQL, Oracle), a PHP front end, built-in native HA and lightweight proxies that keep collecting during network outages. Features shown: item pre‑processing (JSON/JS), hundreds of trigger functions, low‑level discovery that auto-creates items, escalation rules, and a JSON‑RPC API used by Grafana and apps.
