Zabbix Monitoring: Setup, Custom Metrics, Automation, and Distributed Deployment
Why Monitoring Matters
Monitoring provides early warnings before servers fail, helps diagnose root causes after incidents, and ensures service availability. High availability (HA) is often measured in "nines" – the percentage of uptime over a year.
1 nine : (1-90%) * 365 = 36.5 days downtime/year
2 nines : (1-99%) * 365 = 3.65 days
