Unified Monitoring
Collect and visualise metrics, availability, events and logs across network, compute, cloud, containers, applications, databases and services.

Infrastructure Observability
Zabbix
Monitor every layer from data centre to cloud and edge.
Zabbix is an enterprise-class open-source observability platform for networks, servers, cloud, containers, virtualisation, applications, services, databases, logs, IoT and other IT or OT environments.
The business challenge
Why organisations consider this solution.
Infrastructure and service health data is often spread across separate tools. Operations teams need scalable, central monitoring with flexible collection, alerting, visualisation and integrations.
Core capabilities
What Zabbix
helps you do.
Discovery & Templates
Automate resource discovery and standardise monitoring through reusable templates and a broad integration ecosystem.
Alerting & Automation
Detect thresholds or anomalies, route notifications and trigger operational actions through flexible event and webhook workflows.
Flexible Deployment
Run Zabbix on premises, in a public cloud or as a managed cloud service according to control, scale and operating-model needs.
Reference architecture
See the actual
solution topology.
Collect metrics and events from distributed technology, evaluate them against intelligent triggers and present operations with actionable alerts and service views. The diagram below shows the product's distinct operating model, data paths and enforcement or decision points.
Illustrative reference architecture — final design depends on the customer environment and vendor-supported integration pattern.
Example use cases
Apply the architecture
to a real scenario.
These examples explain the business purpose behind the architecture. Final scope, integrations and outcomes depend on your environment and implementation design.
01Distributed network
Monitor branches and data centres
A multi-site organisation needs one view of routers, switches, links and core infrastructure.
- 1Collect metrics locally or through proxies
- 2Apply standard templates and thresholds
- 3Visualise availability and escalate faults
Expected resultCentral visibility with resilient collection across distributed locations.
02Hybrid infrastructure
Unify server and database monitoring
Linux, Windows, virtual machines and databases are monitored using disconnected tools.
- 1Discover hosts and services
- 2Normalise metrics in one platform
- 3Correlate symptoms and business-service impact
Expected resultA single operational view for heterogeneous infrastructure.
03Managed services
Operate a multi-tenant monitoring service
A service provider needs isolated views, repeatable templates and customer reporting.
- 1Separate tenants with roles and groups
- 2Deploy reusable monitoring templates
- 3Deliver dashboards and scheduled reports
Expected resultConsistent monitoring operations across multiple customer environments.
Delivery path
From requirement
to production value.
The exact architecture depends on your environment, but the solution typically follows this practical operating flow.
Discover the environment
Inventory priority infrastructure, services and dependencies, then select the appropriate agents, protocols, APIs and templates.
Collect and normalise
Bring health, performance, availability and event data into one monitoring platform.
Visualise and alert
Build dashboards, maps and service views, then notify the right team when a meaningful condition occurs.
Integrate and improve
Connect IT service, automation and reporting tools while refining thresholds, coverage and operational response.
Typical use cases
Where it fits.
- Network and server monitoring
- Cloud, container and virtualisation observability
- Database, log and application monitoring
- Central monitoring for enterprise or MSP environments
Expected outcomes
What success looks like.
- Central visibility across diverse infrastructure
- Earlier warning of service degradation
- Lower monitoring-tool fragmentation
- A scalable foundation for enterprise or MSP operations
DLAB's role
Technology is only valuable
when it works in your environment.
DLAB helps customers evaluate the fit, define use cases, coordinate solution demonstrations and proofs of concept, plan deployment with the principal and local partners, and establish the support path for production.
