Enterprise Monitoring System

Rejected

Session Description

Monitoring has evolved from basic host checks to full-stack observability across on-premises, cloud, containers, and networks. Zabbix is a mature, enterprise-grade, fully open-source monitoring platform that enables organisations to achieve deep visibility without vendor lock-in.

This talk introduces Zabbix from a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) perspective, covering its architecture, scalability model, data collection methods, and real-world operational use cases. Attendees will gain clarity on when and why Zabbix fits, how it compares with other monitoring stacks, and how the community drives its evolution.

Key Takeaways

The session shall be a deep dive discussion on the fundamental of Zabbix Architecture and how it scales and can monitor any customized infrastructure along with a short demo of the GUI & CLI commands.

Saquib Akhtar Linux IDM T3 Specialist | NOKIA

I am a Linux Architect with hands-on experience building, operating, and troubleshooting enterprise Linux environments. My work spans high-availability clustering (Pacemaker, Veritas, HPE Serviceguard), centralized identity management (FreeIPA, LDAP, 389DS), and scalable monitoring with Zabbix, including service-aware and log-based monitoring in clustered setups. I specialize in deep Linux troubleshooting and root cause analysis, covering kernel, networking, SELinux, and performance issues across RHEL, SLES, and Oracle Linux. My background also includes virtualization and cloud infrastructure (VMware, oVirt/RHEV, OpenStack), Docker-based workloads, and automation using Bash and Ansible to deliver reliable, repeatable systems at scale, while actively contributing to and engaging with the open-source and internet operations community.
