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.
The session is practical, architecture-focused, and community-oriented, aimed at engineers who want reliable monitoring using open standards and open governance.
Monitoring is something that's really important, and I don't see a lot of people working or talking about it, specially about FOSS monitoring tools. So this seems like a great introduction to FOSS monitoring.
