What you will gain after the course

  • How to automatically install Zabbix Agent with Ansible and deploy it to production environments at scale

  • How to collect Webex alarm logs with Promtail + Loki and visualize them in real-time with Grafana

  • Configure the flow of failure detection → alarm transmission → log analysis based on the actual production environment.

  • Build an integrated dashboard by linking open-source monitoring tools such as Zabbix, Grafana, and Loki.

Why do server failures always seem to happen in the middle of the night? 🌙

In this course, you will automatically deploy Zabbix Agents using Ansible, and collect alarm logs with Loki + Promtail,
and finally build a real-time flashing dashboard in Grafana.

Go beyond simple monitoring and configure an end-to-end system that can actually be used in practice, from failure detection → alarm transmission → log visualization.

No more superficial installation tutorials. In this course, we will build a
Production Ready monitoring system that can be used in actual operating environments.




What can you learn from this course?

This course goes beyond simple server monitoring, aiming to complete an
End-to-End practical monitoring system that covers everything from
alarm generation → log collection → visualization → automated deployment.

  • Automated installation across dozens of Zabbix Agents (Ansible)

  • Save logs simultaneously with Webex notifications

  • Log collection and transmission via Loki + Promtail

  • Real-time visualization through Grafana Dynamic Text panels

  • Building a 'flashing' alert dashboard for when failures occur

This environment is very widely used in actual operational large-scale infrastructure, incident response systems, and DevOps environments.


🎯 Key Features of This Course

Most people only use Zabbix, but few places monitor logs as well.
In this course, we go beyond traditional monitoring using only Zabbix and
cover a practical configuration that completes a real-time log-based visualization environment..


Automated mass server installation with Ansible
Install dozens of Zabbix Agents all at once.
No more repetitive manual configurations. All servers are ready with just a single script.


Alarm + Log = Perfect Incident Response
When a failure occurs, an alarm is sent via Webex,
and simultaneously, logs are recorded and collected by Promtail → then displayed flashing in Grafana.
The era of only looking at alarms is over.


Practical configurations created from the perspective of an active operator
Focuses on actual configuration files and troubleshooting rather than conceptual explanations of the tools.
Structured based on "scenarios you may encounter in real-world operations."

Recommended for the following people

Those who know how to use Zabbix but want to create a more expanded automation/visualization environment

Those who want to build a monitoring system suitable for a DevOps environment

Infrastructure operators and system engineers who are tired of manual installation and log searching

✅ After taking this course?

  • You can automatically install Zabbix Agent on dozens of servers.

  • Webex alerts and log storage can be processed simultaneously.

  • You can create a real-time log dashboard with Promtail + Loki + Grafana.

  • In the event of an actual failure, you can quickly identify the root cause logs.

  • Beyond simple alerts, you can operate a true 'monitoring system'.

What you will learn.

Real-time Resource Monitoring Dashboard

You will learn how to
visualize key server metrics in real-time using Grafana, such as CPU, memory, disk IO, and file system status.

Based on the data collected by the Zabbix Agent,
we will build an operator dashboard that shows the performance status of each server at a glance.

Security Log Dashboard Implementation with Loki

You will learn how to collect /var/log/messages, /var/log/secure, and other
system logs, authentication logs, and disk error logs in real-time and how to
filter and visualize them in Grafana..

From Zabbix Alarms to Webex Messages to Grafana Visualization, all at a glance

In this course, you will learn how to send trigger alarms generated in Zabbix as
Webex messages and
visualize the details on a Grafana dashboard in real time.

Practical Architecture for Automated Installation with Ansible

Have you ever experienced installing Zabbix Agents one by one on dozens of servers?
In this course, you will learn how to automatically install and configure Zabbix Agents using Ansible.


Q&A

Q. Is it okay if I haven't taken the previous lecture?

A. Yes, that's fine!
Since we will be practicing everything from scratch within this course, from Zabbix installation to Agent configuration,
you will be fully able to follow along even if you haven't watched the previous lectures.

Q. Can I take this course even if I don't know Linux well?

A. It is possible if you know basic Linux commands.
In the lecture, each command is explained kindly, and you will be guided so that you can follow along by copying and pasting without complex coding or script writing.


Notes Before Taking the Course

Prerequisite Knowledge and Precautions

  • 💻 It will be easier to learn if you know basic Linux commands.

      This was truly a perfect course. It was so engaging that I completed half of it in just one day, and for practitioners building monitoring systems, there's so much content that makes you think "I need to save this and keep watching it." It wasn't just a simple feature introduction, but provided step-by-step configuration and operational know-how that can be immediately applied in real-world practice, which was extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

        Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! 😊 I'm even more proud knowing that you completed half the course in just one day - I can really feel how immersed you were in it. As you mentioned, I focused on creating content with configuration/operation know-how that can be "immediately applied" in practice, so it's very encouraging to hear it was helpful. If you run into any issues while applying this in the field, please feel free to leave questions anytime!
