- 36. VMware monitoring MAGIC ● Point Zabbix at VMware API ● It discovers vSpheres ● It discovers virtual machines ● (and monitors them)
- 37. Various improvements ● Web monitoring ● Length limits increased ● Improved filters in the frontend ● Validation
- 38. More caching ● Never (almost) check last value only – avg(5m) – ...and hammer the database ● “value cache” to the rescue
- 39. 2.4
- 40. Ad-hoc graphing
- 41. Flexible agent filtering ● Discover: – network interfaces – file systems ● by type ● by mountpoint – CPUs – ...extend
- 42. ...by the way, Zabbix agent ● Native on many platforms ● More than 70 different things built-in
- 43. Web monitoring ● Custom headers ● SSL auth
- 44. Standards, baby ISO 8601
- 45. My favourite 2.4 feature ● Changing loglevel runtime ● ...for individual processes ● ...and also ability to dump web scenario details ● ...and the same for VMware monitoring
