Many companies use both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many servers can Zabbix monitor?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With proxies and database tuning, Zabbix can scale to tens of thousands of monitored hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I run Zabbix on a VPS?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. A 2 vCPU \/ 4GB RAM VPS can monitor dozens of servers. For 500+ hosts, use a dedicated server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Zabbix support Docker\/Kubernetes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, via agent2 with container metrics, or by scraping cAdvisor\/Prometheus exporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I secure Zabbix?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enable TLS encryption for agent traffic, enforce HTTPS for the frontend, and limit admin access via VPN or firewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monitoring Basics with Zabbix: Install, Triggers, and Dashboards Monitoring Basics with Zabbix: Install, Triggers, and Dashboards When running production infrastructure, monitoring is non-negotiable.
