Thanks a bunch, Dmitry ! Very crystal clear instructions, everything worked out as expected.

Simplesmente o melhor, me resolveu um problema de semanas com um vídeo de poucos minutos. Obrigado!

DO we need 3 different machines to successfully run Zabbix ? 1 for Zabbix component, 1 for database and 1 for Web server ? OR 1 machine would be enough to test it for like 20-30 machines ?? and what is the most stable version of Zabbix to run with Centos ?? and if possible please suggest the cpu, memory , requirements to monitor up to 50 machines ..

/24 doesn't work when using an ip range or does it need to be formatted differently?

Hi Dmitry, I am evaluating Zabbix for the environment as SolarWinds had to be taken down for obvious reasons. Can you please advise what is the OID that needs to be used for a Bulk network discovery similar to what happens in SolarWinds. I am confused on what to specify in Zabbix for a bulk network discovery for the network Management Vlan. I would be using SNMPv2. Thanks in advance.

3:05 what do ip1,ip2 etc do though?

So how do you get rid of host that are not discovered anymore? I miss that part. I feel like network discovery is important for adding and removing hosts at the same time.

Hi, In my network, there are cases with routers of different manufacturers, with IP addresses in multiple different subnets. To auto-discover the hosts, put them in host groups and link templates based on manufacturer, I have different discovery rules for the different subnets, and on the rules I have check for ICMP, "sysName.0" and "sysObjectID.0" where for hostname and uniqueness criteria I set "sysName.0". I also have actions to add to Host groups and link to templates based on values received from discovery checks, discovery status, service type and host IP range. Every thing works except that I have observed on subsequent scans, hosts are being re-added with name "_2" even though I have the uniqueness criteria setting...as "sysName.0". What could be the issue here....?

Hello Brother..God Bless Us. 1.I am stuck in one step from long time. How to export the Zabbix Dashboard in PDF, Word,Excel,CSV files. Can you create a video step by step , with a very easy steps like a spoon feeding kid. It will be really helpful for us. No one is explained clearly on Zabbix 6.2 and 6.4 using Cent OS 9 Stream ...Waiting for your reply 2.Also share a very easy step video for How to take backup and restore, And How to upgrade easily from Zabbix GUI console, without any interruption.. For example Sophos Central Antivirus web console, and all is done by GUI mode , we need not to check through CLI mode or process CentOS commands. 3.We want as a ISO image for Zabbix server just like Windows 11 ISO Image user friendly for our on promise environment with 100% opensource. We can install that in Server Hardware's or Client Hardware's (laptops) and get all the features, patches updates in a finger tips. Can you share like that. If you are not the right person , please pass this message to the right person please, a hamble request.

Can a discovery rule support multiple IP ranges? I don't see it explicitly stated here nor in documentation; forgive if I'm missing it.

Nice tradeskillmaster u got there :D

Need more. You need to apply to Pluralsight or Udemy and make money for doing this. I'd pay I have been using Zabbix for a while now and love it and want to learn more so thanks for sharing your knowledge but need more pls. One thing lacking is adequate Zabbix support for things like HA/ fail over and alerts to SCOM for example. Common question is can you have the discovery use the host name rather than IP? I ask but I actually updated them myself "manually"

Thank you for sharing, It is very helpful

Thanks a lot Dmitry! I was one of the people who had asked for network discovery video. What is the best way to automatically add all the devices in our network to the Zabbix frontend? I am thinking Active registration for Zabbix agents (Windows and Linux) and network discovery for the rest of the hosts like network devices, printers and UPSs.

Hi good morning, your help is really great and I appreciate your time. I am stuck on finding a solution to perform a synthetic transaction using zabbix web monitoring. I am really hoping if you can provide me some guidance. Please

hmm TSM update popup window?;) Playing WOW? :)

In the oid can I put in 1. So it finds all the oids for any device?

Thanks! That helped a lot :-)

Compare this with SolarWinds network discovery…. This is primitive. Hope it changes soon.
