Zabbix Course. 8. Using Zabbix Network Maps

Creating and Testing a Zabbix Network Map
1. Familiarized ourselves with the basic operations of the Zabbix Network Maps BP
2. Created a test map, added a shape, network nodes, and established connections between them
3. Learned how to export and import maps in one of three possible formats (YAML, XML, JSON)
4. Noted that the set of operations is sufficient for creating maps, but can be labor-intensive for extensive networks. Therefore, it would be useful to automate the process of generating and updating maps based on low-level discovery (LLD) data, as well as integrate with Structurizr and the C4 architectural model.

We created and tested a Zabbix Network Map
1. Familiarized ourselves with the basic Zabbix map operations
2. Created a test map, added a shape, hosts, and established links between them
3. Learned how to export and import maps in one of three possible formats (YAML, XML, JSON)
4. Noted that the set of operations is sufficient for creating maps, but can be time-consuming for complex networks. Therefore, we would suggest to automate the process of generating and updating maps based on low-level discovery (LLD) data, as well as to integrate with Structurizr and the C4 architectural model
