Managed Zabbix - we run your monitoring
Zabbix hosting and operations from Germany: we connect your systems to our highly available Zabbix cluster in German data centers - from €79.90 per month. On request, our team responds to the alerts instead of just delivering them.

What Managed Zabbix at WZ-IT means
You are not buying a tool or an instance, but operated monitoring: we run Zabbix, maintain triggers and dashboards and keep the stack current.
Onboarding & Templates
We connect your systems to our Zabbix cluster: agent rollout, auto-discovery, host groups and matching templates for servers, VMs, databases and network devices.
Triggers & Escalation Chains
Alerts that mean something: we maintain trigger thresholds, dependencies and escalation chains - so a full cache does not wake anyone at night, but a dying RAID does.
Alerting Integrations
Alerts where your team works: email, Mattermost or Slack, PagerDuty for on-call or webhooks into your own systems - prioritized by severity.
Dashboards (optional Grafana)
The Zabbix frontend ships with overviews and dashboards out of the box. On request we connect Grafana to the Zabbix metrics - for individual views, historical trends and read-only access for your team.
Upgrades & Maintenance
We keep the Zabbix stack current: version upgrades, database maintenance, housekeeping and backups of the monitoring system itself - you will not notice any of it.
HA Architecture
Our Zabbix runs as a highly available cluster in German data centers - the monitoring itself is no single point of failure and watches over itself.
Who Managed Zabbix is for
Four typical scenarios where operations by us pay off - from a single root server to an MSP fleet.
Your own servers at Hetzner, OVH or netcup
You rent the hardware, we add the monitoring: onboarding of your root servers and cloud instances without you having to run a monitoring system yourself.
Managed HetznerProxmox clusters
Nodes, VMs, Ceph and backups covered: we monitor Proxmox environments with the official template - on request including full operations from €179.90 per node.
Managed ProxmoxTaking over existing Zabbix
Your Zabbix runs, but nobody maintains it? We take existing installations into managed operations or migrate them to our HA cluster - including cleaning up organically grown templates and triggers.
MSPs & agencies
You manage customer servers but do not want to build your own monitoring? We onboard your customer systems multi-tenant - alerts go to your team or directly to us.
Managed Zabbix, Zabbix Cloud or self-hosted?
Three ways to a running Zabbix - the difference is who carries the responsibility.
| Managed Zabbix at WZ-IT | Zabbix Cloud | Self-hosted | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Onboarding by us, including templates and host groups | Instance in a few clicks - the monitoring configuration stays with you | Build it yourself: server, database, proxies, templates |
| Maintenance & upgrades | We operate, upgrade and back up the cluster | Automatic updates to the current Zabbix version by the vendor | Your own upgrades, DB maintenance and backups of the monitoring system |
| Trigger tuning | We maintain triggers, dependencies and escalation chains | Yourself - the platform runs the instance, not your triggers | Yourself - thresholds and escalation cost time continuously |
| Response to alerts | Optionally our team with a defined response time | Your team | Your team - including nights and weekends |
| Data location | German data centers, GDPR-compliant, no third-country transfer | Vendor cloud, region selectable from 5 available | Your choice - your infrastructure |
| Cost profile | Fixed monthly price from €79.90, tiers with response individual | Subscription in 7 tiers by instance size | No license costs, but ongoing staff effort |
Zabbix Cloud details according to the vendor page (zabbix.com/zabbix_cloud): deployment in a few clicks, automatic updates, 7 subscription tiers, 5 regions. As of July 2026.
Three tiers - from monitoring to full operations
Managed Zabbix means you buy an outcome, not a tool. Start with onboarding and grow into the tier that fits your team.
Monitoring
from €79.90 / month
We connect your systems to our HA Zabbix cluster. Alerts go directly to your team - via email, messenger or webhook. You respond yourself.
- Zabbix onboarding & templates
- Maintained triggers & escalation
- Alerts to your team
Monitoring + Response
individual
We see the Zabbix alert and act: analysis, countermeasures and escalation with a defined response time - the human behind the dashboard.
- Defined response times
- Incident handling included
- Escalation, incident & SLA reporting
Full server operations
individual
Full operations: patching, hardening, backup verification and Zabbix monitoring with response - your servers stay with your provider, we take responsibility.
- Updates & security hardening
- Backups with restore tests
- 24/7 option & SLA
Tiers 2 and 3 are calculated individually based on environment and scope of responsibility - transparently in a free initial consultation. More about server management
Why Open Source Monitoring
Zabbix is fully open source - with tangible commercial consequences.
No sensor or host licenses
Zabbix charges no license fees per host, sensor or metric (zabbix.com/features). Your infrastructure can grow without monitoring license costs growing with it - a structural difference to PRTG (billed per sensor) or Checkmk (billed per service).
No lock-in
Zabbix runs on standard components (Linux, PostgreSQL/MySQL), configuration and history are exportable. You can switch operators at any time - including away from us. That is exactly why we have to convince with quality, not contract lock-in.
Open license: AGPLv3
Since version 7.0 Zabbix is licensed under AGPLv3, previously GPLv2 (zabbix.com/license). The source code is openly available - security and compliance reviews are possible without an NDA.

Entry starts at €79.90 per month: onboarding of your systems to our highly available Zabbix cluster, templates, triggers and alerts directly to your team. The tiers with response by our team or full server operations are calculated individually based on environment and scope of responsibility - transparently in a free initial consultation.
No. We are not an official Zabbix partner. We have run Zabbix in production for years on our own HA cluster - you buy operations and responsibility, not badges.
Yes. We take existing Zabbix installations into managed operations or migrate them to our HA cluster - including cleaning up organically grown templates, triggers and escalation chains. Historical data can be carried over. We clarify the best approach in a free initial consultation.
On servers in German data centers. All metrics, logs and alert data are subject to GDPR, and no data transfer to third countries takes place. On request we sign a data processing agreement (DPA).
Zabbix Cloud is the vendor's hosted instance: you get an operated Zabbix installation with automatic updates, but you still configure templates, triggers and escalation yourself - and your team responds to the alerts. With us you buy the outcome: we onboard, maintain triggers and dashboards, and on request our team responds. Plus the data resides in German data centers instead of the vendor cloud.
Linux and Windows servers, Proxmox clusters, container environments (Docker), databases, network devices via SNMP, as well as web applications and APIs via HTTP checks. Basically anything that can run a Zabbix agent or provides metrics via SNMP, IPMI or HTTP.
In four steps: in the initial consultation we clarify environment and alert channels. Then we roll out the Zabbix agents (or connect via SNMP/HTTP), create host groups and templates, and set up triggers with escalation chains. Finally you get access to your Zabbix views (with Grafana integration on request) and we test the entire alert chain once end to end. Typical duration: a few business days.
Yes. Our highly available Zabbix cluster runs in German data centers - you get Zabbix hosting and operations from one team, GDPR-compliant and without third-country transfers. The difference to pure hosting: we do not just provide the instance, we also maintain templates, triggers and escalation chains.

“WZ-IT's advice on our Azure migration was technically sound and completely non-binding right from the intro call - we took away a great deal.”
