Zabbix monitors our server infrastructure
- Zabbix is an open-source monitoring solution
- Server status can be viewed through the Zabbix web interface
- Alerts are sent as system problems/outages are discovered
- Templating system allows thresholds/triggers to be easily changed across tiers of server infrastructure
- New checks can be added and modified without requiring operational changes to the system
OnCall/IRIS manages on call schedules and send notifications of system outages
- An “on call” person will receive notifications when a server check fails.
- Alerts are sent by email or SMS (text message)
- OnCall is an open-source notification system developed by LinkedIn
- Iris is an open-source escalation system from LinkedIn that works with OnCall.
