Zabbix maintenance

Maintaining a stable and efficient Zabbix environment requires more than just monitoring external systems, it also involves taking care of Zabbix itself. This chapter explores the key aspects of Zabbix maintenance, including setting up regular backups to protect your data, using Zabbix's internal health checks to monitor its own performance, and applying upgrades to stay current with new features and security fixes. We'll also cover Zabbix's built-in maintenance mode, which allows you to schedule downtime for hosts and services without triggering unnecessary alerts. Together, these practices help ensure your monitoring system remains reliable, resilient, and ready to scale.
