Zabbix is my primary specialty. I design, migrate, rescue, scale, and maintain Zabbix monitoring environments for MSPs, ISPs/WISPs, hosting providers, and infrastructure teams. My experience includes an 80+ tenant MSP environment maintained for nearly six years and an ISP/WISP Zabbix platform that has grown beyond 2,000 hosts. I work on both new deployments and difficult existing environments, from migrations and distributed proxy architecture to custom monitoring, alert engineering, performance troubleshooting, database optimization, dashboards, integrations, and long-term platform support. Zabbix expertise Migration to Zabbix from PRTG, LibreNMS, Icinga, and other monitoring platforms Distributed Zabbix Server / Proxy architecture, active proxies, PSK encryption, and HA SNMP, Agent/Agent 2, HTTP, API, and custom-script monitoring Advanced LLD, preprocessing, dependent/calculated items, and custom template development Monitoring devices where vendor templates or documented SNMP OIDs are unavailable Alert tuning, dependencies, recovery logic, escalation, and SLA/service-based monitoring Zabbix performance troubleshooting, server/proxy tuning, PostgreSQL optimization, retention, and partitioning Grafana integration, Zabbix Maps, SLA/availability reporting, and customer-facing dashboards Integrations including ConnectWise, PagerDuty, Microsoft Teams, email, and Microsoft Entra ID Upgrades, maintenance, capacity planning, documentation, team training, and L3/escalation support Experience at scale For an MSP serving 80+ tenants, I designed and maintained a Zabbix environment covering 523 hosts and 29,000+ items, with up to 23 distributed proxies. My work included monitoring-platform migrations, tenant-specific templates and policies, Grafana dashboards, ticketing integration, reporting, access control, training, and ongoing escalation support. For a large ISP/WISP, I took over a Zabbix environment that had become barely operational because of excessive discovery, items, and triggers. After redesigning templates and LLD, tuning the platform, improving trigger policies, and addressing database scalability, the system became operational again and has since grown from around 850 to more than 2,000 hosts, primarily MikroTik and Ubiquiti infrastructure, radios, and CPEs. My ISP/WISP work also includes wireless and network-specific monitoring such as BGP peers, link and backhaul utilization, latency and packet quality, signal/RSSI metrics, sector health, topology-aware dependencies, and logical service availability. More than standard templates When standard monitoring is not enough, I build what is required using SNMP, APIs, scripts, application data, and custom Zabbix logic. This includes reverse-engineering undocumented SNMP data, collecting metrics through vendor cloud APIs, creating application-level service checks, and designing monitoring around real infrastructure relationships rather than simply generating alerts for every device state. Wazuh SIEM / Security Monitoring I also deploy and operate Wazuh SIEM/XDR for servers, firewalls, infrastructure, and application monitoring. My hands-on work includes custom Wazuh decoders and rules, File Integrity Monitoring, Security Configuration Assessment / CIS-aligned checks, vulnerability detection and remediation, authentication/firewall/server/application-log monitoring, alert investigation, threat hunting, and security hardening based on observed events. I treat security monitoring as a continuous process: Detect → Investigate → Remediate → Validate Infrastructure knowledge behind the monitoring My monitoring work is backed by 20+ years of network and systems experience, including BGP/MP-BGP, OSPF, MPLS, routing and switching, firewalls, Windows/Linux, VMware/Proxmox, Active Directory, DNS, Azure, and Microsoft 365. That background helps me understand what the monitored infrastructure is actually doing — topology, redundancy, dependencies, capacity, and service impact — rather than treating Zabbix as an isolated tool. How I can help I can handle a focused project such as a Zabbix migration, deployment, health check, performance problem, custom template, integration, or Wazuh implementation, or remain involved as your long-term Zabbix/Wazuh escalation and platform specialist while your internal team handles routine operations. If your monitoring environment is overloaded, noisy, difficult to maintain, missing important visibility, or needs to scale, I can assess where the problems are and help turn it into an operationally useful monitoring platform.
