Zabbix Stability

ASM Naushad Alam

Network Manager at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

We have not yet purchased the commercial version so have a lack of technical ability. We do not yet fully know the key points or key features of the solution. We just use what we use along with WhatsUp Gold.

Based on our use only, stability is rated a seven out of ten.

Tom Karches

Systems Specialist at a government with 5,001-10,000 employees

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten; it's still really stable. We rarely have problems. And it's always been something else, like the database acting up or whatever. It's usually an external thing. It's usually not the Zabbix code itself.

Head of IT at RD Tech

The stability is really good. It seems lightweight and doesn't interfere with other processes running on the machine. As far as I can tell, none of our users have returned to me with any issues regarding the tool.

Julian Lewis

Senior application performance monitoring and alerting specialist at a aerospace/defense firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Zabbix is very stable. We ran into a few performance issues in the early proof of concept days. The database running on normal hard drives impacted the ability to process all items in a timely manner, and when I moved to SSDs, those issues went away.

For all implementations, the sizing calculator needs to be used to ensure the correct size of the database. Based on the number of hosts and items the performance of the database needs to be factored in.

The stability is good. I would rate it five out of five since we have no issues. It's been running well since the first day. We did two release updates in the meantime, however, there was no reason to restart something. The performance is very good.

The stability is unparalleled. Processes are all well-behaved and logging is clear and succinct. Support for separating the front end, server and database allow resources to be load-balanced and clustered.

Zabbix runs equally well in cloud- and on-premise configurations.

Rupesh Chamatkar

Application Monitoring Technical Lead at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

It's not extremely stable.

n terms of infrastructure, you have to tune based on your requirements. You're monitoring 1,000 or 10,000 systems, so it depends on what you're monitoring, and you have to tune it. They don't have a tuning table or sizing recommendations. However, they have the beta version of it. Certainly, on the console side, they need to improve a lot in terms of stability and performance, and bottlenecks of the product. Whatever data we process with Zabbix goes to Postgre or MySQL. Right now, we are trying to use Postgre. They are using it to do a lot of time scaling stuff so that we can support SQL data. However, it seems like they have limitations with the Postgre database.

The stability is okay, although, at this point, I'm only using it on a Raspberry Pi. I need to set it on a higher level server to see exactly how it responds on the network and how to deal with it. In this testing phase, it is stable, but when I'm ready to put it live into production then we will see how it reacts.

It is very scalable because I tried version 5. I used 5 from 0 and I see that they have improved many things, but there is not yet this option to have an access terminal where you have many functionalities.

The scalability works fine because the community is very active. When a new version comes out, we can see that they have tried to add.

Yugandhar Sarraju

Senior Director at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

We are not yet using Zabbix very much. We have spawned the Zabbix server and only a couple of AWS instances are running, which it is monitoring. This is to make sure there are no billing problems in AWS. At the end of the day, we stop the Zabbix monitoring. The next day when we come in, we start it again.

At this point, with our limited usage, we have not seen any issues with stability. Perhaps, once it has been running full-time for a week or longer, we may hit those types of issues.

When your checks grow to a certain volume, you need to adjust some settings on the server related to cache sizes, preforked workers, and so on. This is expected as with any service that grows beyond its default settings, there’s documentation about it.
