Service

Monitoring that earns the interruption.

Zabbix, Grafana and Prometheus — designed, deployed, and tuned until every alert that fires is worth acting on. On any infrastructure, not only the platforms we build.

ALERTS PER WEEK week 1 412 week 2 180 week 4 34 tuned 11 every one of the eleven needed somebody to do something

Illustrative. The shape is always the same.

Stack
Zabbix · Grafana · Prometheus

Open source, no per-node licensing, no vendor to reprice you.

Scope
Any infrastructure

Not only platforms we built. Most engagements are estates we inherit.

We write
Custom templates

Checks and decoders for what you actually run, not generic server templates.

Typical
2–4 weeks

Including the tuning period, which is not optional.

What we do

Four pieces, and the last one is the point.

PieceWhat it coversWhat changes
InstrumentationAgents, API polling and exporters across hosts, hypervisors, storage, network, databases and applications.You can answer "was it slow last Tuesday?"
Custom templatesChecks written for your platforms and applications, including things no off-the-shelf template knows to look at.The gaps that cause outages get watched
DashboardsOne for operations, one for capacity, one for management. Different questions, different views, no single dashboard with everything on it.Nobody writes a query to answer a simple question
TuningWeeks of watching, then removing everything that fired without needing action, and adding what should have fired and did not.Alerts get read instead of dismissed

The part that determines whether it works

An alert that fires constantly is the same as no alert.

Installing Zabbix takes an afternoon. What takes weeks — and what actually determines whether monitoring works — is deciding what deserves to interrupt someone, and then proving it over several cycles of real operation.

Untuned monitoring is worse than none

It creates the impression that something is being watched, and the alert that matters arrives in a queue that is no longer read.

Thresholds come from your behaviour

Normal storage growth and batch windows differ between estates, so a default threshold misfires in both directions.

Every alert needs an action

Where there is no defined action, it is a metric rather than an alert, and belongs on a dashboard.

Collecting metrics is easy.Deciding which deserve to wake someone is the work.

Related, and different

Monitoring is not security monitoring.

This service watches for failure

Hosts down, storage filling, services stopped, latency climbing, capacity running out. The question is whether the estate is healthy.

A SOC watches for attack

Privileged access, configuration change, integrity, credential use, lateral movement. Different signals, different rules, different response — see SOC and SIEM monitoring.

Most estates need both, and they share the same collection layer. We will tell you which you actually have today.

Tell us what you are running blind on.

Whether you have nothing, something nobody trusts, or an estate that has outgrown its monitoring — that is the starting point.
