Ever looked at Zabbix?



I haven't, unfortunately, but it looks promising from just looking into it briefly. Open source monitoring is always an area that needs more competition.


I find the problem with monitoring is not a lack of options, but an overwhelming abundance of them. It’s almost impossible to evaluate all of them realistically, so you just wind up using the most popular one.


Zabbix has been around for quite a long time. Easily 15 years now. I haven't looked at it since around 2013, but at the time it was placing quite some pressure on a mysql db backend. It looks like they've expanded out to support more than MySQL as the back-end these days.


Zabbix has been growing A LOT lately, and in a good way. It's nice to see this king of projects evolving Una good direction instead of stagnating and the diying.


It's great to hear. I liked zabbix in general. At the time of its initial surge in popularity, nginx and cacti were the dominant force in monitoring. Zabbix was a little quirky to get used to, but a breath of fresh air.


I noticed that Zabbix supports PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB as back-ends and just checked the list, which contains also Oracle and SQLite (DB2 support is experimental).
