Zabbix Integration Services: Ways to Use Zabbix for IT monitoring Solutions

Zabbix is an open-source network monitoring application that provides IT, administrators, with the ability to monitor and collect data for servers, virtual machines, networks, applications and much more using a single solution. Zabbix Solutions offers professional services related to Zabbix integration. We offer consultation on infrastructure design, configuration service support in deploying Zabbix agents across your enterprise infrastructure (virtualized or physical) at scale. Our team of certified professionals also provides 24×7 proactive monitoring and remediation services to ensure your business can focus on what it does best while we stay ahead of threats targeting you!

Integrating Zabbix solutions with Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) provides the ability to monitor user logins, access rights, and audit events. This integration is compatible with Windows Server 2003 or later versions of ADDS that are running on any 32-bit or 64-bit platform. No additional software needs to be installed as this process requires no agent configuration. So how does it work? It works by using a standard domain account to communicate between your network's Zabbix server and Microsoft's built-in functionality known as "Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI allows you to query for activity occurring within an IT infrastructure from remote machines across a network without requiring users to manually enter at each device.

Wouldn't it be great to monitor your IT infrastructure without having to manually enter data into a monitoring software? This is where Zabbix Integration Services comes in.

Using the WMI interface with an account that has domain administrator permissions or through Windows Remote Management, you can query for activity occurring within your network from remote machines across a network without requiring users to manually enter at each device.

With integration services, there are 11 different types of queries you can run against Active Directory Domain Controllers (ADDCs), including Group Membership Tracking Authentication Logon/Logoff Events Successful and Failed Processes File Events Temporary Files System Policies Zone Transfers Subnet Addresses Site Links Replication Monitoring Event IDs you can monitor with Zabbix include:

The Benefits of Using Zabbix to Monitor Your Network and Systems

Zabbix Integration Services enable you to connect data from various sources into a single place, creating what we call "the Big Picture". These services work by collecting information about the servers that are being monitored in an organization's environment(s) and then transforming that information into standard metrics or key performance indicators (KPIs). By connecting these disparate types of information through integration services, organizations can create a comprehensive picture of their entire infrastructure. This enables faster time to problem resolution when there is an issue within any one component because all related components will be connected and the problem will be visible across your entire IT environment.

Zabbix supports a wide range of third-party applications and services that you can use to extend its capabilities.

Conclusion

Zabbix is an open-source monitoring solution that can be used for IT and DevOps teams. It has a wide variety of features including real-time data collection, visualizations, scalability, extensibility with community-contributed plugins, and more.
