Analyzing the devices' health status
Client’s need
• Evolve infrastructure monitoring platform.
• Currently own about 1600 devices. Need to monitor them from a single platform and visualize a set of metrics in Grafana.
– Created 4 maps or service dashboards in both Zabbix and Grafana, with geo-referencing on a geographical map with the physical locations of the devices and their health status.
Solution
• A new implementation of Zabbix was performed with a new architecture that gathers the customer’s needs.
• The LTS version of Zabbix available at the time of implementation was set up. Proxies were installed in the four geographical locations to distribute the load and, additionally, to support connection drops between the different locations, maintaining the metrics for a time to be specified.
• Agents were deployed in the different devices and ingestion of the elements to be monitored was performed.
• The required Grafana dashboards were developed.
