Zabbix Network Monitoring Essentials

Pretty good and thoroughful...

Book is for an older version (Zabbix 4.2), enough so that I cannot use the code snippets offered. I had hoped to use this book as a walk-thru to get a test environment of Zabbix running, but alas, no. It's more for use as general understanding of how Zabbix works. Also, as the comments say, it's not for the host monitoring, for any agent use is excluded, so it's primarily for snmp and ping and the like.

Installation of Zabbix, managing the hosts manually or with the network discovery and see the result in maps.This book provides all the necessary to monitor your network with SNMP.

Adequate

Zabbix is extremely powerful, extensible and scalable. With this comes complexity. This book does a good job of explaining just how Zabbix works and how to get the most from it. I'd take some exception with the 'Essentials' component of the title, most of the Packt 'Essentials' books are more basic than this. If you're starting from scratch, this may not be the book for you. Recommended.

The zabbix book really explained the most important features of zabbix and i would definitely recommend it to anyone who really wants to take monitoring seriously
