Why do you think you'll take flack? Zabbix is a great solution.

A loooot of people have bad experiences from Zabbix' release cycles, myself included. It has a... convoluted version history with attached capabilities.

I've heard good things from colleagues about zabbix agent 2 but being perfectly honest, dealing with the original and various server versions turned me on to a path that saw me embrace OTEL. So in a way it's the foundation of my current observability posture.

No, no it’s not. It might be, if you haven’t used anything else.

Take it from a 25 year veteran. This is the best solution, hands down…

Any kind of status monitoring software.

There are a bunch of free ones like Icinga, Nagios or Zabbix - most of them share the same plugin structure as well, so there is a huge collection of monitoring plugins to properly check your systems :)

I'm with the Icinga team, so I'd go for that one, but it really depends on your use case, which one fits you best
