Core structure

Component	Role/Description
Zabbix Server	Central core—processes data, manages configuration, sends notifications, stores data in DB
Zabbix Agents	Installed on monitored hosts (Linux/Windows); collect metrics and send to server/proxy
Zabbix Proxy	Optional; collects data from remote networks, sends to server (good for distributed setups)
Zabbix Database	Stores configuration, events, and historical data (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.)
Zabbix Web UI	Web interface for monitoring status, viewing data, configuring items, alerts
Zabbix Frontend	The PHP application that provides the web UI
Media Types	Mechanisms for notifications (Email, SMS, scripts, etc.)
Items & Triggers	Items are what’s monitored; triggers define problem conditions
Templates	Reusable monitoring settings (items, triggers, graphs, etc.) for hosts
