Zabbix Network Monitoring: Configuration and Comparison Project

This project provides a comprehensive overview of network monitoring using Zabbix, an open-source tool. It begins with an introduction to Zabbix, its background, and its architecture, including the pull and push modes of operation, and its methods of detection and reporting. The project then delves into the configuration of Zabbix for monitoring various services and SNMP devices, essential for IT-ITES environments. A significant portion of the project is dedicated to comparing Zabbix with PRTG, another network monitoring solution, detailing their monitoring methods and features. The project also explores resource monitoring, covering tools like Ganglia and Nagios, and it concludes with recommendations and limitations. The project also covers the application of Zabbix in the IT-ITES industries, and the reporting capabilities of Zabbix in large environments. The project aims to investigate how Zabbix can be configured to monitor various IT-ITES components, how Zabbix is superior in monitoring IT-ITES components and study the web administration console of Zabbix.
