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 |
