The first wrong step with Zabbix

Another common scenario occurs when the environment created for development, testing, and approval of Zabbix is converted into a production environment.

If the first scenario looked familiar, or at least plausible, this will not be hard to imagine. It is likely that the manager was not waiting for us with a mission and with a big check to be used in the acquisition of hardware and services for the monitoring service. The fact is that this project will often start without many features and without a lot of trust from the rest of the company. In the most common scenario, we begin a test in an environment with restricted servers, and one of the most common mistakes is turning this environment into something that should support all systems and enterprise environments.

Often, Zabbix replaces another monitoring platform that is already in use. In this case, the birth of Zabbix in your environment is more controlled and planned, as there is something existing that you need to replace. But still, another scenario repeats; that is, it uses the same concepts and ideas of the old tool in the implementation of Zabbix. This is another interesting point because users often compare both the tools and lack understanding about Zabbix's features and concepts that ensure correct use of the platform.

These situations can turn into a trap and contribute negatively to the performance of Zabbix.
