How ZIWO works with Zabbix?

Zabbix is the main monitoring tool for ZIWO which is a cloud-based call center solution, which we rely on to check all our infrastructure, the instances running, critical indicators, and so on.

It allows us to :

-Automatically monitor every new instance of ZIWO

-Get Notification alerts on system errors or mistakes

-Get Reports on system health and indicators for recent upgrades such as hard disk space

-Display dashboards for our internal usage, for a quick global view of our different sites

-Combined with Grafana, it allows us to provide our customers with an advanced view of their Ziwo solution: system information like CPU, memory, and network bandwidth, along with business view such as the no of concurrent calls on the different sites they may be using.

How Zabbix 4.0 will impact ZIWO and our customers?

The latest version of Zabbix includes several enhancements that will positively impact ZIWO

-Zabbix team made a lot of efforts to greatly improve the graphs and dashboards. This may reduce our dependency on Grafana in the future.

-You can customize the dashboards heavily and display them in Kiosk mode on TVs, as well as supports assistive technologies, making it more user-friendly for visually impaired users.

-The new tag-based permissions give the ability to allow certain user group access to information about issues only if they match a combination of pre-defined tags & values. Access can be limited by any info stored in tags: ZIWO versions, voice gateway used, country, etc.

To conclude: By utilizing Zabbix’s new and innovative features Ziwo call center software will offer ease of monitoring management internally. Furthermore, the ability to provide real-time dashboards within Zabbix will allow us to provide predefined templates for our clients with all the customer service KPIs, which can be monitored and displayed in multiple formats.
