- justsomehnguy 5y agoYou still need a way to extract data from the endpoint (ie an agent). So in the age of Grafana you can use Zabbix as a source of data and use Grafana to visualize it: https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/alexanderzobnin-zabbix-app/ https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/alexanderzobnin-zabbix-a... Also different needs do require different solutions. For a "classic" (not a Web 3.0 hypercoverged containerised backend for a smartphone app to watch cat videos) environment Zabbix is still, though clumsy someties, a good way. also, take a look at Zabbix 5 and 6 release notes. While IMO some things should had been implemented years ago - they are finally there.
