Software Update: Zabbix 1.1 beta 6

Spread the love

With the Zabbix program you can monitor various parts of your network and services on your servers. The program supports two different options to retrieve the relevant information. It can send requests from its own host to the various services and network components, which then respond to them. In addition, there is a so-called agent that can be installed on the host to be monitored with which detailed information can be retrieved. For more information about Zabbix, we refer you to this one and this one page. The developers have released the sixth beta version of Zabbix 1.1 with the following announcement:

This release introduces unified look & feel for the frontend and other improvements. Several important issues have been fixed. The release can be used in production environments. Note that feature freeze will be announced after release of next beta.
