BMS Business service monitoring has reached a new height

Optimize Services part , Displays the status and current status of the business service SLA Level

Through the analysis of the existing Services Significant improvements and optimization of pages and functions , Business service monitoring has been raised to a new level . Business service monitoring function （BSM） It is very suitable for multi-component service scenarios , For example, server cluster 、 Load balancers and other services with redundant components .

Zabbix 6.0 Provide a variety of functions to customize the implementation of business service tree BMS Business service monitoring ：

• The redesign Zabbix 6.0 Services Pages and functions

• Support single Zabbix Instance monitoring exceeds 10 10000 business services

• Support new flexible service state calculation logic

• Be able to customize the access rights of business services

• Be able to customize read-only and read-write permissions for specific business services

• Business service permissions can be based on explicit service lists , You can also restrict access based on service tags

• Export and import business service tree

• new Service The action type enables users to receive alarms and respond to changes in business service status

02

High level business services SLA Calculation logic

Provide a large number of alternative service state calculation rules , Can support flexible service definition

The business service status calculation logic is Zabbix 6.0 Has been greatly expanded , Added a lot of new features , for example ：

• Be able to assign weight to each business service

• Only when the N All sub services are in X Change the status only when the problem status of severity level

• Analyze and respond to the weight of the sub service in the problem state

• React only when a certain percentage of sub services are in a problem state

• Other calculation rules

Users can also customize and access the of specified services SLA The report .

03

Enhance business service monitoring capability through root cause analysis

Root cause problems will immediately appear in service Next

Perform root cause analysis on business services . Use the root cause analysis function to find out the possible causes of business services SLA List of potential problems falling ：

• stay Zabbix front end Services Page to view the root cause problem list

• Receive the root cause problem list in the alarm

• adopt Zabbix API Collect root cause problem information

04

Out of the box Zabbix server High availability cluster

Track the cluster node status in the system information component

Zabbix server High availability prevents hardware failures or downtime during planned maintenance periods ：

• Choose to join HA Cluster configuration

• Define one or more standby nodes

•  Real-time monitoring Zabbix server The state of the cluster node

• No external tools are needed to make Zabbix server Configure to HA Cluster mode

05

machine learning

Use the new function to respond to the unexpected exception rate or deviation from the index benchmark

The new baseline monitoring and anomaly detection trend function detects problems in a dynamic way , Instead of static threshold ：

•  New trend function -baselinewma and baselinedev , Be able to calculate the baseline and deviation value of the index

•  New trend function -trendstl, Can detect abnormal index behavior

•  Be able to specify anomaly detection deviation algorithm and seasonality

06

Kubernetes monitor

Zabbix 6.0 LTS Added several new templates , Used to monitor different Kubernetes Components

Zabbix 6.0 LTS newly added Kubernetes Monitoring function , Can be in Kubernetes The system collects indicators from multiple dimensions ：

• Kubernetes Nodes and pods Automatic discovery and monitoring of

•  Agent free collection Kubernetes pods And node information

•  obtain Kubernetes Node host high level information

Kubernetes Monitoring can also monitor Kubernetes Components , for example

• kube-controller-manager

• kube-proxy

• kube-apiserver

• kube-scheduler

• kubelet

07

Detailed and efficient Zabbix Audit log mode

The redesigned audit log can provide new details , And optimize the filtering function .

The new audit log mode allows users to Zabbix front end 、Zabbix API and Zabbix server Perform detailed audits of records . By modifying the audit log , Yes Zabbix All changes made by the instance will be recorded in the audit log ：

•  establish 、 Modify or delete new objects

•  adopt LLD Discover new entities

• API command

•  Log in regularly / sign out

• Zabbix Everything else that happens in the instance

The new audit log pattern is designed with the best performance in mind , Therefore, the extended function will not affect Zabbix The performance of the instance . The work of audit log mode is an ongoing work , It'll follow Zabbix Ongoing throughout the release cycle .

08

A new method of visualizing data

The host sorting component can display the top information sorted by the value of the monitoring item N Or later N A list of hosts

Zabbix 6.0 The new components provide many new ways to display information .

•  The geographic map component can display the host and problems on the map

•  The data table component can create a summary view of the host indicator status

•  The front of the data table component N And after N Function can display the highest or lowest monitored item value

•  A single monitoring item component can display the value of a single indicator

•  Many improvements to the existing vector graph , For example, the new vector graph type 、 Reference a single monitoring item, etc

• SLA The component can display the current status of a specific business service SLA

09

Zabbix performance optimization

For different Zabbix Multiple performance optimizations of components ：

•  Improve performance when linking templates

•  promote Zabbix proxy Performance and memory usage

Historical data tables use primary keys , There are many benefits , for example ：

•  Improve Zabbix server and Zabbix The performance of the front end

•  Reduce the size of the historical data table

10

promote Zabbix Agent2 modularization ,

new Zabbix Agent Monitoring items and functions

Optimization of the Zabbix agent Now you can monitor a set of indicators out of the box

Zabbix 6.0 by Zabbix Agent and Agent2 Provides a new set of monitoring items . The following functions are supported ：

•  Get additional file information , Such as file owner and file permission

•  collection agent Host metadata as an indicator

•  Count matching TCP/UDP sockets

Some existing monitoring items support new functions ：

• vfs.fs.discovery- stay Windows Added to {#FSLABEL} Macro support

• vfs.fs.get- stay Windows Added to {#FSLABEL} Macro support

• vfs.file.size- Added a new mode parameter . Set in bytes or rows

Zabbix Agent2 Now it supports loading independent plug-ins , Without recompiling Agent2.

11

Native TLS/SSL Website certificate monitoring

Use the new Zabbix agent2 Monitoring item monitoring SSL/TLS certificate

Support the use of new Zabbix agent 2 Monitoring items to monitor SSL/TLS certificate . Monitoring items can be used to verify TLS/SSL certificate , And provide other certificate details .

12

Commonality improvement

Create hosts through optimized UI, Creating a new host has never been easier

Zabbix 6.0 send Zabbix Streamlined configuration workflow ！Zabbix Users can now go directly to Monitoring Page create host and monitor items ：

•  Directly from Monitoring -Hosts Page creation host

•  Directly from Monitoring -Latest data Page create monitor item

•  Deleted Monitoring -Overview page . To improve the user experience , Trigger and data overview functions are now accessible only through dashboard components .

Now the default information type of the monitoring item will be automatically selected according to the key value of the monitoring item .

Simple macros in topology labels and drawing names have been replaced with expression macros , To ensure that the syntax is consistent with the new trigger expression .

13

By customizing the password complexity requirements

To protect your Zabbix Sign in

Set password complexity to ensure front-end login security

Zabbix Super administrators can now define password complexity requirements . Now you can ：
