Setting up a FileMaker server and never looking at it again is a recipe for disaster. Are your backups running? Has the scripting engine crashed? Are you running out of memory or CPU? Are your integrations taxing your solution? If any of these things happen, or if you're not monitoring to ensure they don't, you're putting your data at risk.
If you followed and completed our previous blog post on using Hyper-V in Windows 10 to launch a virtual Linux machine, awesome! Before we dive into the Zabbix portion of all this, we’re going to double check some aspects of our virtual machine.
