The release of the open-source monitoring system Zabbix 5.0 LTS has taken place.<\/p>\n
Zabbix is a universal system for monitoring the performance and availability of servers, network and engineering equipment, applications, databases, virtualization systems, containers, IT services, web services, and cloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The system implements a complete cycle from data collection, processing and transformation, analysis of the obtained data, to storage, visualization, and sending notifications using escalation rules. It also provides flexible opportunities for expanding data collection methods and notifications, as well as automation capabilities through the API. A unified web interface implements centralized management of monitoring configurations and distribution of access rights to various user groups. The project code is distributed under the GPLv2 license.<\/p>\n
Zabbix 5.0 \u2014 this is a new major LTS version with a long official support period. For users who are using non-LTS versions, we recommend transitioning to the LTS versions of the product.<\/p>\n
