Zabbix is the best open source-based NOC platform you can find

Return on Investment

  • The positive impact is that, In general, these kinds of platforms tend to be very expensive if you go on the market for commercial versions. Considering this is an open-source platform, you can save a lot of money on licenses and consulting and use that money to empower your own team to build your customized NOC solution.
  • As a company that operates 24x6, it's very important that we keep all the systems running. Although we have several ways to improve availability with clusters, cloud,etc., monitoring and alerting is still one of the most efficient ways to keep the business running.

Best FOSS software for monitoring

Return on Investment

  • Zabbix allowed us to see where issues were with a new implementation of software that was having issues at one site but not the other. With the synthetic monitoring piece in play, we were able to isolate and quantify the issue and see who and what was actually having an issue (as compared to the typical user response of "slow").
  • It has taken over 9 man-months to fully implement across a 1600 server global environment. Some of that issue was due to the poor design of the environment (mostly due to M&A processes that were never fully integrated), but part of it was due to no easy way to distribute the agents. Now, with the very recent release of 4.2, there is an MSI to allow for GPO deployments to windows machines, which would help tremendously for Windows-based environments. (Linux and Mac environments will still require extensive scripting or manual installations).
  • Zabbix alerting allowed us to start alerting L2 application and server teams to be aware of disk space issues and resolve them before an outage occurs.

Return on Investment

  • Zabbix simply makes it easier to identify, and subsequently resolve problems quickly
  • Zabbix gives one web page to look at to see a list of all on-going issue in a single place
  • Zabbix can automate response to alerts. For example, Zabbix allows you the customization to take a monitored server out of production rotation if it is identified as unhealthy

  • By integrating Zabbix with Rundeck, we have been able to auto-resolve issues in our infrastructure which means lesser on-call alerts.
  • Zabbix and PagerDuty let us response to business critical issues instantly.
  • Zabbix dashboards and screens let us get an insight into the status of our infrastructure visually.

Return on Investment

  • Zabbix has had a positive impact on uptime of our external facing website. Users don't always call up our Customer Service team to report that something is down - sometimes they just abandon the website all together. By having a monitoring solution that tells us when things are down before customers do, we are able to respond quickly and avoid losing visitors and ultimately sales.

Zabbix - The Monitoring Swiss Army Knife

Return on Investment

  • Zabbix has become my go-to solution for information gathering on our hardware. It's very easy to create reports and graphs outlining any specific metric I'm asked to provide.
  • Zabbix's alerting and script firing has made monitoring utilization on our network a breeze, while their alerting system allows me to fire off a different level of alert by the specific consecutive objects in an alert status. With time, I've been able to eliminate most end device alerts while just shooting off an alert for the problem at the root of an issue.
  • Zabbix is easy enough to use at the user level to be handed to non-tech savvy people with minimal training.

Return on Investment

  • Zabbix has helped our NOC team become the center for service configuration management. The mantra has become "if it is not monitored, it does not exist."
  • Zabbix has helped train our NOC team to be responsive, and understand the threat levels of varying alerts.
  • Zabbix is robust. Often times you might turn on the Zabbix agent and immediately get alerted to high disk usage when certain processes are running, or a low % of disk volume is available. Having this feedback in real time is crucial for maintaining dozens of servers per sysAdmin.

Zabbix 2.4 in a fairly large environment

Return on Investment

  • A 5 year "Linux team only" implementation leveraged automatic recovery scripts to eliminate a huge number of off hour wake-up tickets. Many problems were detected and automatically remediated before the old monitoring system ever detected the problem.
  • The ability to monitor almost anything you can imagine and script.
  • Quick one-off items and triggers can be deployed in a crisis.
  • Leveraging Puppet and The Foreman for server build and Zabbix for monitoring made it possible for system administrators to go from supporting about 40 servers each to 120 or more.

What is Zabbix?

Zabbix is an open-source network performance monitoring software. The core program is free, with paid support from the vendor. It provides out-of-the-box templates from Zabbix and community developers. Zabbix includes network health measurements, including memory utilization, packet loss rate, and predictive trends in bandwidth usage and downtimes. These measurements can be adjusted using custom thresholds for network health and security issue alerts.


Zabbix also offers automation capabilities, including automatic network detection, configuration management, and report generation. It also enables remote and scripted remediation efforts when an issue is detected. The open-source format of the software is designed to support customization by users and the community.
