      Zabbix is quite possible the best "cheatsheet" you could ask for

              Training, I can't say for certain but you can learn a lot about zabbix from their community.

                OMG, I've been doing Zabbix work all evening, too!

                  It is, and it is excellent. @MC_Bol is a full time Zabbix admin and master and does some wonders with it.

                  I just did a Zabbix 5.0 to 5.2 upgrade like twenty minutes ago!

                    Spun up a Zabbix 5.2 server on Monday and am in the process of moving our NagiosXI monitoring over. Losing our grandfathered pricing combined with something going sideways with the XI to core interface (can't create or update objects, can delete just fine) means that nagios is "buh-bye".

                    To reinforce @DustinB3403's point, I don't know how much training might be needed. The documentation is decent from what I've seen and google has been able to point me in the right direction for anything else.

                    Cheers!

                      Thank you all for your feedback on Zabbix monitoring software. However, I'm looking for an actually daily checklist that one may have developed or came across to do daily checks for Network Admins.

                      Do anyone know or have such a checklist?

                        1. Make coffee
                        2. Check email/discord/slack/whatever for alerts - you do have alerts from app/services sent somewhere, do you?
                        3. Verify backups
                        4. Look at performance graphs
                        5. Comb through logs
                        6. Take a nap until phone rings
                        7. Go home

                        Something like above?

                          Guide please? Nothing has been done with Zabbix on ML for a few years now.

                          Install may be easy, but that doesn't mean anything.

                            Pretty much this.

                              I do not. I find most positions like this (DBA, Net Admin, Systems, etc.) have very few, if any, universal tasks.
