Monitoramento proativo de redes com Zabbix: estudo de caso no IFPI - campus Pedro II

Abstract

Public and private institutions rely on connectivity to perform their functions, which makes network monitoring essential to ensuring service quality. In this context, monitoring models and tools have emerged that perform this task automatically. Zabbix is one such tool—open- source and widely used in various scenarios. Given this, the objective of this study was to evaluate how the Zabbix monitoring tool can assist in diagnosing connectivity issues at the Federal Institute of Piauí—Pedro II Campus. The research was conducted as a case study, in which the system was implemented, including the registration of hosts, the creation of a monitoring map, the development of dashboards for data visualization, and the configuration of email alerts. The solution enabled continuous monitoring of the campus’s key network assets, the collection of performance and availability metrics, and centralized visualization of this information. The tool contributed to a proactive approach to addressing infrastructure issues. Thus, it proved to be applicable to the context of the institution under study.
