   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...

NetXMS mentions (3)

• What do you use for Windows Server monitoring?

  We use NetXMS for that https://netxms.com/. You can configure literally any metric and monitor it. On the other hand, I've heard good things about PRTG. You should give it a try. Also, might give you some ideas. Source: 11 months ago

• Monitoring, alerting and visual graphs - What are you using?

  We are using netxms (https://netxms.com/), an open-source solution that acts as a log watcher for us. This might be also helpful https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/vmware-monitoring-with-sexigraph-new-release. Source: over 1 year ago

• CheckMK vs Zabbix for monitoring

  I use Zabbix in my lab only. According to that experience, it performs well. At work, we use netxms for monitoring multiple servers: https://netxms.com/. You install the agent on the client locations. You can configure it to collect any metrics you need. Another approach is combining a few tools.
