What are the commonly used modules in Zabbix?
Here are the common modules used in Zabbix:
- Zabbix Server is the central module of Zabbix responsible for receiving and processing data from Zabbix Agents, storing and managing monitoring configuration information, and generating alerts and trigger events.
- The Zabbix Agent is a module running on the monitored host responsible for collecting various metrics and data such as CPU usage, memory usage, and sending this data to the Zabbix Server.
- If there are multiple Zabbix Agents that need to be monitored, you can use a Zabbix Proxy to share the workload of the Zabbix Server, collecting and caching data from the Agents before forwarding it to the Zabbix Server.
- Zabbix Web interface: A user-friendly interface for interacting with the Zabbix system, allowing users to configure monitoring items, alarm rules, and view monitoring data.
- Zabbix Sender: A command-line tool used to send monitoring data from the command line to a Zabbix Server, often used in custom monitoring scripts.
- The Zabbix API offers a set of HTTP/JSON-RPC based interfaces that allow you to interact with Zabbix programmatically, enabling automated configuration, data querying, and other functionalities.
- Zabbix Trapper: a unique type of monitoring item that can send data to the Zabbix Server via network protocol, rather than being collected by the Agent proactively.
- Zabbix AlertScripts are used to define scripts that will run when an alert is triggered, allowing for specific actions to be taken when an alert occurs.
- Zabbix Frontend offers various types of front-end interfaces, including web and mobile app interfaces, making it easy for users to configure monitoring and view data.
The above are some commonly used modules of Zabbix, which can be selected according to actual needs.
