We will focus our attention on Zabbix, a GNU (GLPv2)-based monitoring tool, and its ability to monitor IPv6-only environments, an increasingly important topic as IPv6 adoption advances. In this article, we will explain how Zabbix can be used to overcome the challenges of monitoring IPv6-only networks and ensure a smooth transition to this new era of networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with a bit of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is Zabbix?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zabbix is an enterprise grade, open source, distributed monitoring solution created by Alexei Vladishev. It allows us to monitor multiple network parameters, as well as the health and integrity of servers, virtual machines, databases, websites, and more. Zabbix allows using multiple notification channels, with email being one of the most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The features offered by Zabbix include the automatic detection of IPv6 devices and services on the network. Additionally, its interface is very intuitive and user friendly, which makes it easier to visualize the data, add new devices, and configure alerts and notifications. Zabbix&#8217;s centralized management allows users and administrators to monitor multiple IPv6 devices and services from a single interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its scalability allows Zabbix to adapt to IPv6 networks of any size, making it easy to manage everything from small business networks to complex networks and network infrastructures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First Steps<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving on to a more technical aspect, we will now recreate a simple scenario where our Zabbix server will conduct basic ICMP checks towards remote IPv6 addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our server was installed in an Ubuntu 22.04 environment, as we can see in the following screenshot. Using our SSH connection, we execute the following command to verify our distribution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>lsb_release -a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"255\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fig1-explorando-las-capacidades-de-zabbix.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fig1-explorando-las-capacidades-de-zabbix.png 900w, https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fig1-explorando-las-capacidades-de-zabbix-300x85.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fig1-explorando-las-capacidades-de-zabbix-680x193.png 680w, https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fig1-explorando-las-capacidades-de-zabbix-768x218.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we can verify that our server has a correctly assigned IPv6 address.
