Overall Satisfaction with Zabbix
We monitor Virtual network functions (VNFs) alarms & performance graphs on Zabbix. It is basically an FM & PM system that collects data from all the nodes & aggregates them in the form of user-readable graphs & XL sheets. It is also used to set performance-based alerts in the system & it can also be used as an aggregator for a big NMS type system like Nokia's NetAct.
Pros
- Alarm monitoring.
- Performance graphs.
- Creation of new alerts - either fault based or performance based.
Cons
- Creating an alert & its trigger can be made easier.
- More VM-based data collection counters should be introduced to have better VM monitoring.
- The raw counters collection agent in every node is relatively weak. It goes down often, which needs more stability.
- Alarm monitoring.
- SNMP traps towards NMS.
- Performance graphs.
- reduced the fault-finding time by 50% compared to manual command-based health checks.
- Reduced the identification of performance glitches by 80% compared to manual SAR analysis.
- Alarms can be easily exported to any other NMS using SNMP traps.
Well, I am not a decision-maker here, but I believe Zabbix has been adopted as a default choice to be integrated with Nokia OpenStack because of its simplicity of usage & other products were not matured at that time. Single GUI can be used for infrastructure as well as workload monitoring both.
