We would also like to present the results of the visualization of the network at the IT exhibition "Interop Tokyo" held in Tokyo for the past five years.

One of the great benefits of Zabbix is that you can easily extend its capabilities to improve your monitoring. Being officially released in February 2024, the zabbix_utils library makes it even easier for developers and Zabbix admins to monitor different targets by making use of Python scripts. The goal of this presentation is to bring to light the different ways in which zabbix_utils can be used and how they can collect data and send it to the Zabbix server or proxies.

Learn about the details of the host discovery process, its neighborhood and maps, and an overview of other Zabbix solutions used within Vale, one of the largest companies in Brazil.

The efficient use of green power is heavily promoted in Japan. To utilize green power effectively, it's necessary to monitor the amount of green power generated and consumed. We will discuss how green power utilization architecture integrates green energy monitoring with Zabbix to achieve distributed monitoring. Our study focuses on key aspects such as solar power energy distributed monitoring with solar panel energy prediction, distributed processing control according to the edge environment, and using Zabbix functions. We will also show a case study that demonstrates the application of the Zabbix dashboard for solar energy oversight.

Network maps can be extremely useful in visualizing your whole infrastructure and infrasatructure component states. During this speech I will present ways of automating network map generation - from discovering the network topology to automatic creation of maps in zabbix based on the collected information.

As an all-in-one monitoring solution, Zabbix can be used as a centralized tool for data collection, processing, alerting, visualization, reporting, and more. This presentation will cover the journey of replacing previous solutions with Zabbix - from deployment to consolidating multiple Zabbix instances to multiple integrations and automated solutions.

During my speech, I will present a custom solution for visualizing network connections between monitored hosts. The solution enables a more advanced overview and analysis of the endpoints and connections monitored by Zabbix.

This presentation will cover a set of tips and tricks for Windows monitoring based on my personal experience with Windows environments.

The presentation will focus on the latest trends in the global ICT monitoring market. During the speech we will also present the results of ICT monitoring survey which included the participation of over 100 global enterprise organizations.

This case study will cover public transport fleet monitoring in Flanders, Belgium. Learn how Zabbix-ready networking devices enable the monitoring and management of the bus and tram IToB (IT on board) health.

Having a flexible and scalable monitoring solution is extremely vital for MSP environments, where monitoring is performed on a wide variety of customer infrastructures. This presentation will cover how various Zabbix features, from authentication mechanisms to automatic remediation and visualization, make Zabbix the perfect monitoring solution for MSPs.

Alert storms and alert fatigue are common problems in the monitoring field. Learn how Zabbix solves these problems and reduces time to resolution with root cause detection features.

The nature of open-source products allows users to leverage a variety of benefits that are simply not present in proprietary software. One of these benefits is the ability to integrate multiple open-source project into your infrastructure with the help of project maintainers and community members. We will explore how Zabbix greatly benefits from the Zabbix Ansible community collection and how the open-source nature of both projects benefits the end-user.

Alert fatigue has long been a significant challenge for the DevOps community, often leading to decreased efficiency and increased stress among professionals. In this talk, we will explore innovative strategies leveraging Artificial Intelligence to mitigate alert noise, particularly within the Zabbix monitoring environment.

How can you use Generative AI for analyzing metrics and events in Zabbix? As usual with his home monitoring experiments, Janne is going far beyond your typical corporate cases - and for free, with a locally run LLM, GPT4All.

Unleashing the AI Power in two real scenarios for Zabbix. In the first scenario we will prepare steps for Synthetic Monitoring by analyzing target web page's HTML structure and intelligently identifying relevant elements based on your natural language instructions. The second scenario uses LLM Multimodal Models with Vision Capabilities for quick analysis of multiple graphs simultaneously, providing more contextual information and offering more comprehensive insights by analyzing multiple metrics over extended time periods.

During my speech, I will demonstrate my custom solution utilizing the Zabbix API for generating Zabbix reports.

This talk is about how to monitor and manage MariaDB Server Clusters running with the MariaDB MaxScale database proxy. This is somewhat different from working with a single MariaDB Server, and this talk explains why. I will also show how MariaDB MaxScale, which also monitors the MariaDB Servers, comes into the picture. Managing failover, monitoring database traffic, and routing and load balancing are some other topics I will explore.

The power of the Zabbix API, combined with the APIs of the vendors we work with, have allowed us to create centralized dashbords for controlling the CyberSecurity posture of all our customers, regardless of the technologies used. Equally important, they have allowed us to start all the necessary "response" processes from Zabbix.

Consolidating multiple Zabbix instances can be beneficial for both scalability and organizational reasons. This presentation will discuss a custom horizontally scalable Zabbix federated observability architecture using a telemetry bus.

JavaScript is an integral part of monitoring with Zabbix. We can use it in items and scripts to extend our Zabbix environment with custom scripting - without ever leaving the frontend. This speech will cover a case study for Alliander, a Dutch power grid supplier. During the speech, we will talk about utilizing Zabbix JavaScript features for advanced metric collection.

Zabbix provides the tools necessary to expand monitoring beyond the typical IT infrastructure. This presentation will cover multiple unique monitoring use cases and a custom hardware solution used for integrating Zabbix with a variety of non-IT components, such as industrial systems.
