What is Zabbix?

Zabbix is an open source, enterprise class monitoring solution developed by Zabbix SIA, headquartered in Riga, Latvia. The core software is free with no license fees and no limits on hosts, metrics, users, or alerts, and it can monitor networks, servers, virtual machines, cloud services, containers, and applications using both agent based and agentless methods such as SNMP, IPMI, JMX, and HTTP.

While the software itself stays free forever, Zabbix SIA sells optional paid support subscriptions with guaranteed response times, and Zabbix Cloud, a managed hosting option starting at $50 per month. Subscription tiers range from Silver support to custom Enterprise and Global plans for organizations that want vendor backed SLAs on top of the open source platform.
