There are two types of checks between Zabbix Server and Client.

  • Passive Check – Zabbix Agent sent data to server on their request.
  • Active Check – Zabbix Agent sends data periodically to server.

Understanding Ping Command Understanding Ping Command

The ping command operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request
messages to the destination computer and waiting for a response. How many of those responses are returned, and how long it takes for them to return, are the two major pieces of information that the ping command provides.

Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Wireless LAN Infrastructure has been released for a couple of years. This post listed all reports found from Internet since 2010. If you are not familiar with this research publication or Gartner, please see graphic below. Gartner places vendors in one of four quadrants – Leaders, Visionaries, Niche Players and Challengers based on their score system.

Gartner has named Cisco, Aruba (HPE), and Extreme Networks as the leader in the Magic Quadrant for Wireless LAN Infrastructure on July 2018.

In the context of this Magic Quadrant, cloud compute IaaS (hereafter referred to simply as "cloud IaaS" or "IaaS") is defined as a standardized, highly automated offering, where compute resources, complemented by storage and networking capabilities, are owned by a service provider and offered to the customer on demand. The resources are scalable and elastic in near real time, and metered by use. Self-service interfaces are exposed directly to the customer, including a web-based UI and an API. The resources may be single-tenant or multitenant, and hosted by the service provider or on-premises in the customer's data center. Thus, this Magic Quadrant covers both public and private cloud IaaS offerings.

Gartner's two top leaders, AWS and Microsoft, didn't change for all the time from 2010 to 2018. But Google Cloud Platform has made to leader quadrant this year.

Free DNS Server 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 (from CloudFlare) – Fastest and Easiest to Remember

Free DNS Server 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 (from CloudFlare) – Fastest and Easiest to Remember

Google free DNS server 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 has been used by me for many years, since it is decent fast and also easy to remember. But now Cloudflare just announced their DNS server 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 on April 1st 2018.

Here is their comparison diagram with other free public DNS server providers.

Not only fastest, Cloudflare pledged that it will not write your ip to the disk and not keep your tracking data long, it will purge all logs within 24 hours. How cool is this privacy focus feature? Definitely, I will give it more try later if there is any need to use a public DNS server.
