I've been consistently impressed with the depth and quality of modern open source software for network monitoring and management. My specific project involves setting up a comprehensive monitoring stack for a small office network of about 50 devices in Berlin, using a combination of Zabbix 7.0 for metrics and Grafana 11.0 for dashboards, all running on a dedicated Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server. The tools are powerful, but I'm struggling with the initial configuration complexity and the "alert fatigue" that sets in; we get hundreds of minor notifications about routine fluctuations, which causes the team to ignore the dashboard entirely. I need to establish a sensible baseline and focus only on critical anomalies that indicate real problems like impending hardware failure or security incidents. For network admins who have gone through this tuning process, what are your recommended strategies for defining meaningful thresholds in Zabbix that adapt to normal daily and weekly business cycles? Furthermore, what open source tools or scripts do you use for correlating events to reduce noise, and how have you successfully automated the initial triage or even remediation of common alerts to prevent them from becoming tickets?
