Advanced Zabbix Data Pre-Processing

Advanced Zabbix Data Pre-Processing

This course is entirely based on the possibilities offered by the Zabbix 7.0 frontend, and is designed to help users learn how to extract and transform information from different sources without using external tools or scripts. Every pre-processing step is explained in detail with examples, and nearly all have corresponding practical tasks.

The course is designed for users with basic Zabbix knowledge who want to understand Zabbix pre-processing options on an expert level. It does not require any existing Zabbix certification.
