At work, we use Zabbix for monitoring alongside Pinpoint.
We mainly use it to monitor services running on instances and the URLs of important service domains. From the examples I have seen, though, Zabbix seems capable of much more. I want to install it myself to learn how to configure it, then gradually explore other ways to use it.

I ran into more errors than expected during installation, but it worked in the end!
