Zabbix is an enterprise-class, open-source distributed monitoring solution developed by Zabbix LLC based in Riga, Latvia. Established in 2005, Zabbix is designed to monitor and track the performance and availability of network servers, devices, services, and other IT resources.

The company also provides a wide range of commercial services such as technical support, Zabbix integration, implementation, and customized development services, as well as professional training.  

Zabbix has over 250 partners around the world, affiliates in the United States, Japan, Mexico, and Brazil, and a large portfolio of customers in multiple industries.

Description[edit]

Zabbix is designed primarily as an IT infrastructure monitoring tool. New features are generally released every six months for major versions and every 1.5 years for LTS versions.

Released under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 (AGPLv3), Zabbix is free software that does not require an additional license to use any of its features. Even though Zabbix is open-source software, it is a closed development software product.

Development[edit]

The first stable version, 1.0, was released in 2004. Since the first stable version was released as 1.0, Zabbix versioning has used minor version numbers to denote major releases. Each minor release implements many new features, while change level releases mostly introduce bug fixes.

The Zabbix version numbering scheme has changed over time. While the first two stable branches were 1.0 and 1.1, after 1.1 it was decided to use odd numbers for development versions and even numbers for stable versions. As a result, 1.3 followed 1.1 as a development update to be released as 1.
