Database Monitoring

This one-day advanced training course is designed for engineers who are already working with Zabbix and want to enhance their monitoring capabilities specifically for databases.

This training focuses entirely on advanced techniques and best practices for monitoring database systems using Zabbix. It covers the configuration of custom checks, performance tuning of database queries, monitoring replication and availability, and identifying slow queries or potential bottlenecks. The course is aimed at laying a strong foundation for deep database-level monitoring across various platforms like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server. Even experienced users will gain new insights into how Zabbix can be optimized for database monitoring in production environments.

This course consists of a mix of theory and hands-on exercises, all performed in a dedicated virtual lab environment provided by our team. The lab exercises guide you through setting up database monitoring templates, custom item prototypes, triggers, and alerts, using practical real-world scenarios. You will have full access to your lab environment throughout the training day, with continued access for 24 hours after the class ends, allowing for additional review or practice.

Comprehensive course materials—including slides, lab manuals, and configuration examples—are provided. These materials are designed to support your ongoing learning and can serve as a reference for future use in your own monitoring environment.

Upon completion of the Advanced Zabbix Database Monitoring training, participants will have a clear and practical understanding of how to configure, optimize, and extend Zabbix for in-depth monitoring of database infrastructure. This course is a valuable addition for any Zabbix administrator or engineer responsible for maintaining high-performance and reliable database systems.

Outcomes

Organizational impact

Databases are an integral part of any IT infrastructure. Databases can be used to store, organize, and manage data for easy access and analysis. Data, which is stored in the databases includes, but is not limited to:

  • Data on sales, orders, and customer service
  • Customer transactions
  • Patient records in healthcare
  • Personal files, including media
  • IT system configuration parameters

During this course attendees will learn how to monitor key database metrics and various internal parameters to ensure stable DBMS performance and gain new insights for capacity planning, troubleshooting and more.

Individual impact

By attending this course, attendees will not only familiarize themselves with how monitoring can be extended to various DBMS, but also learn how to automate database metric discovery and optimize DBMS data collection for both technical and business-oriented goals.
