Beyond infrastructure

I think the monitoring solutions approach is changing, and I like this change. We know that every business nowadays has some dependency on technology, and it is normal to think that a monitoring solution will help keep their systems and services running.

But Zabbix can go beyond this. Actually, any reliable monitoring tool must work like a charm with infrastructure-monitoring things. If a monitoring tool has some loopholes, it's not a good tool and we shouldn't use it.

The real goal of a monitoring solution is how many new methods of gathering data it can show you, and how much it can interact with other tools. Zabbix can do both of these things like a charm.

A few years ago, I worked on a Zabbix deployment created to monitor water pumps. We know that water pumps are not smart devices (at least, the water pumps that I know aren't). That kind of device isn't accessible by a USB or serial port, nor by TCP/IP, SNMP, or any other network protocol. But it was possible to do this; we just needed to find a way to access this kind of device and gather some data.

So, using Zabbix's capabilities and your knowledge about your environment, it is possible to extend monitoring to other business areas. And how many things can you start monitoring? Maybe some business flow? Maybe some door sensors? Maybe the air conditioner's temperature?
