I help businesses implement secure monitoring platforms, troubleshoot complex infrastructure problems, recover compromised systems, and stabilize production environments across Linux, Windows, VMware, Hyper-V, and Oracle technologies. My recent work includes the implementation and final validation of a secure Zabbix-based MSP monitoring proof of concept. The project covered application configuration, MSP standardization, onboarding of the initial reference environment, Windows and Linux monitoring, Zabbix Server and Proxy communication, Agent 2 deployment, PSK-encrypted connections, templates, triggers, maintenance periods, and helpdesk alerting. Core areas I can help with: • Zabbix Server, Proxy, Agent and Agent 2 implementation • Secure host onboarding using PSK encryption • Windows and Linux infrastructure monitoring • Templates, items, triggers, macros and host configuration • Alerting, email notifications and helpdesk integration • Maintenance periods, history and data-retention configuration • VMware ESXi, vSphere, Hyper-V and virtual machine troubleshooting • Linux and Windows Server administration and hardening • Oracle database administration and connectivity troubleshooting • Security incident investigation, malware cleanup and recovery • SSL/TLS certificate troubleshooting • PowerShell, Bash and infrastructure automation I work methodically, communicate clearly throughout the engagement, and document important configuration decisions. My focus is not only on resolving the immediate issue, but on delivering a secure, maintainable solution that can be operated reliably after handover. Recent client results include: • Secure Zabbix MSP monitoring proof of concept successfully implemented and validated • Compromised Ubuntu and WordPress infrastructure containing 155+ websites recovered and hardened • Hyper-V virtual machine memory and performance issues diagnosed and stabilized • VMware ESXi 5.5 certificate issue resolved after previous unsuccessful attempts If you need help with Zabbix monitoring, infrastructure troubleshooting, virtualization, server security or production systems support, feel free to send me a message.
