Zabbix Agent is required to install on all remote systems needs to be monitor through Zabbix server. The Zabbix Agent collects resource utilization data and applications data on the client system and provides such information to the Zabbix server on their requests.

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

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.

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

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.
