Zabbix for network and server monitoring
Run Zabbix with PostgreSQL and a web interface using the Deplomo marketplace template. Configure checks for the hosts and services you want to monitor.
Zabbix template features
The template includes PostgreSQL with persistent storage, a Zabbix server, and a web interface. Resource use is covered by the selected monthly EUR package limits.
Monitor infrastructure and networks
Zabbix can monitor servers, network devices, databases, and virtual-machine hosts when the relevant agents, protocols, credentials, and network access are configured.
Alerts based on configured thresholds
Configure notifications through supported channels such as email, SMS, Telegram, or webhooks. Delivery depends on provider settings and connectivity.
Dashboards and reports
Build charts from collected metrics such as CPU, memory, network traffic, and service availability. The available data depends on configured monitors and agents.
Scale Zabbix to your environment
Zabbix supports distributed proxies for monitoring remote environments. Capacity depends on proxy placement, workload, and configuration.
Frequently asked questions about Zabbix
Answers to common questions about Zabbix, monitoring networks and hosts, and configuring alerts:
Zabbix guide: monitor servers, networks, and services
Monitoring can help teams understand the status of infrastructure components such as servers, network devices, and applications. Zabbix records data from configured checks and can trigger alerts based on rules. The size of an environment it can handle depends on server resources, database capacity, and monitoring configuration.
How does Zabbix combine server and network monitoring?
Zabbix collects metrics through agents and supported network protocols. Teams can use it to track host metrics, service checks, and network data when the relevant agents, credentials, and routes are configured.
For dashboards that combine and visualize metrics, pair Zabbix with Grafana to explore system metrics. For simpler website and endpoint checks, see uptime kuma . Ensure the Zabbix server can reach the systems you want to monitor.
Self-hosted Zabbix deployment and operations
A manual Zabbix installation involves setting up a database, server, web interface, and monitoring configuration. As the environment grows, review database capacity, data retention, and server resources.
The Deplomo template configures PostgreSQL, the Zabbix server, and the web interface in separate containers. Review package limits and configure network access to the hosts you want to monitor. Service creation is currently unavailable in the international sandbox.
Zabbix deployment options
The table compares the marketplace template with a manual installation. Requirements and operating work depend on the environment and configuration.
| Feature | Zabbix template on Deplomo | Manual setup on a VPS | Physical servers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial setup | Deploy from a template | Requires installing and configuring the database, Zabbix server, web interface, and supporting services | Setup time depends on the hardware, network, and deployment process |
| Storage for collected metrics | The template uses PostgreSQL with a persistent volume; performance depends on storage and workload | Depends on the server and database configuration | Depends on hardware and available storage |
| Networking and data access | Network access depends on routing and firewall configuration | Requires configuring firewall rules and protecting exposed ports | May require network security equipment and configuration |
| Costs and billing | Fixed monthly EUR package with resource limits; service creation is currently unavailable in the international sandbox | Costs and terms vary by hardware and provider | Initial hardware and setup costs vary by environment |
The marketplace template provides a starting configuration for Zabbix. Plan resources, storage retention, monitoring access, and ongoing operations for your environment.
Zabbix setup and host connection guide
These are general steps for deploying Zabbix and configuring monitored hosts:
- Choose Uptime Kuma from the marketplace: In the console, select the Zabbix marketplace template. Service creation is currently unavailable in the international sandbox.
- Review resource and storage limits Choose CPU, memory, and package resources based on the monitoring workload and data-retention needs.
- Choose CPU and memory based on your expected workload and package limits. After deployment, use the address shown in the console. Review public-access and TLS settings for the deployment.
- Add hosts and data sources: Install agents on the hosts you want to monitor or configure supported protocols such as SNMP. Set up credentials, network access, templates, and alert rules.
Zabbix deployment: summary
Zabbix can help teams monitor configured hosts and services. Coverage and alerting depend on the agents, protocols, network access, and rules you configure.
