   Indispensable

   Zabbix has been part of my toolbox for quite some time. I can easily say it's an indispensable tool for me now.

   Managing a dozen servers without Zabbix would be unimaginable. I'm monitoring all of this: CPU, Memory, Hard-drives, website response times, downtime. The UI might be a bit "old school", but everything works flawlessly.

   With regards to hard-drive monitoring, I love the machine learning option that allows you to "predict" the number of days before running out of space. That's quite helpful, as I've got some of my servers down due to running out of space multiple times in the past (before I was using Zabbix).

   👍 Pros:    Open-source|It can monitor everything

   👎 Cons:    The ui is a bit unintuitive in some cases

• How I am getting experience as a linux admistrator (Follow Up)

  He suggested that I indeed should set up a home-lab. To be specific he said that I should create a minimal install of Centos 8 and install zabbix server on it (https://zabbix.com) and monitor a whole bunch of other VMs, services and stuff.. He said that I should set up a variety of VMs and also maybe host a website on one of them. And then if I was able to do that, I could help to share a load of zabbix related...

• What do you guys use for networking monitoring

  Another is AT&T's AlienVault OSSIM software. If you can put it on its own hardware, it runs FAR better than it did on a VM in my experience. I've seen this in action and it's a huge monster to get into - I barely scratched the surface and thought I was hitting walls, so it might not be the most intuitive - but I'd recommend watching a few youtube videos to show off what it can do I suppose. Mine set off my... Source: about 1 year ago

• Does the BGW320 perform automated SSH vulnerability tests on clients?

  I enabled my ATT security this morning and had a download going that used about 70% of my capacity. I also have an Ubiquiti setup, I don’t believe ATT’s security is as harsh on cpu load that Ubiquiti is. Several years ago, ATT bought Alien Vault which primarily monitors log files and conducts routine vulnerability scans. Since it was purchased, they renamed us as ATT Cybersecurity....
