Tips and Tricks on using useful features of Zabbix in large scale environments

Zabbix implements various useful features. There are some tips and tricks to consider when using these useful features in a large scale environment. In this presentation, we have worked on a Zabbix environment monitoring tens of thousands of hosts, We will show the tips and trick we applied to automate mass host registration with LLDs and to set up maintenance for flexible non-monitoring of a large number of hosts, mainly using tags. Let’s get the hang of it and proceed with the use and stable operation of Zabbix in a large scale environment.
