1. Zabbix 5 IT Infrastructure Monitoring Cookbook
2021 by Nathan Liefting, Brian van Baekel
Zabbix 5 IT Infrastructure Monitoring Cookbook is a delightfully practical guide for IT professionals who have realized that their infrastructure, much like an overly dramatic soap opera character, demands constant attention lest it collapse spectacularly. This book serves up bite-sized, easy-to-digest recipes for getting Zabbix 5 to monitor everything from Windows and Linux systems to rogue networking devices that seem determined to misbehave. It covers the thrilling art of creating items, triggers and templates, deploying Zabbix proxies like a load-balancing wizard and even bending the Zabbix API to one’s will—because nothing says "I am the master of my IT domain" like customized automation. Whether you're a beginner just trying to stop your servers from screaming for help or an experienced engineer looking to make your monitoring setup slightly less of an existential crisis, this book ensures that you’ll at least have the tools to pretend you’re in control.

With a structured, six-step approach, it teaches you how to identify what’s actually worth monitoring (hint: everything), sift through endless streams of security data without losing your sanity and fine-tune your alerting system so it stops crying wolf every five minutes. Packed with real-world examples and hard-earned wisdom, this book ensures that by the end, you'll either be a formidable defender of enterprise networks—or at the very least, you'll know exactly how bad things are before they catch fire.
