   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...

  Active Measures - Includes (IDS/IPS) such as open-source Suricata or Snort on pfSense, and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), such as the commercial Tripwire and dated, open-source Tripwire, or the open-source Wazuh installed on servers. These can be combined into a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system like the open-source solution, Security Onion. Wazuh itself has evolved into a SIEM. Source: about 1 year ago
