100% open source enterprise monitoring covering servers, networks, clouds and applications, with auto-discovery and no license fees at any scale.
Latvian open-source enterprise monitoring for servers, networks and clouds: auto-discovery, distributed proxies and flexible alerting, with every feature free.
Zabbix is the 100% open source enterprise monitoring platform that watches servers, networks, clouds, applications and services from one place, with no license fees and no per-host pricing. Born in Riga in 2005, it has become one of the most widely deployed monitoring systems in the world, scaling from a single rack to hundreds of thousands of monitored devices.
Everything ships in the box: agent-based and agentless collection, SNMP and IPMI for network and hardware, auto-discovery of hosts, flexible triggers, escalations, dashboards and distributed monitoring through proxies. Because the software is fully open source, there is no community-versus-enterprise feature split; commercial support, training and turnkey services fund development.
Key benefits:
- Genuinely free with all features included, no enterprise edition upsell
- Scales massively via distributed proxies and high-availability clustering
- Auto-discovery of servers, VMs, network gear and cloud resources
- Flexible alerting with triggers, dependencies and escalation chains
- Self-hosted so metrics and topology data never leave your infrastructure
Zabbix is developed by Zabbix SIA, headquartered in Riga, Latvia, with subsidiaries in the US, Japan and Brazil reporting to the Latvian mother company. For European infrastructure teams, it is the sovereign answer to per-host SaaS monitoring bills: your monitoring stack runs where your servers run.
Ideal for sysadmins, MSPs and enterprises that want deep infrastructure monitoring under their own control instead of usage-priced US SaaS.
