Download websites that use Zabbix

Monitoring software is not written to be seen from outside. Zabbix watches servers, network devices, applications and cloud resources from inside an infrastructure, and its web console exists for the people who operate that infrastructure. When a crawler finds the console on a public domain, something has happened that is worth thinking about.

A monitoring frontend becomes publicly reachable in more than one way. Some exposure is deliberate, since hosting providers, telecoms, internet exchanges and managed service companies publish status dashboards and customer facing views on purpose. Other exposure is not deliberate at all, and an operations console left open to the internet is a finding in its own right for anyone doing security research.

Either way, finding Zabbix says something firm about the organization behind the domain. Written in C, available since 2001 and recorded here as AGPL v3, the platform is self hosted software, meaning somebody provisioned a server for it, wrote templates, tuned alerting and keeps the thing running. An organization using it therefore has infrastructure of its own rather than a stack of managed services, and it has chosen to own its monitoring instead of renting it as a subscription.

For a commercial researcher that profile is where the value of the list sits. The population running its own Monitoring stack is the same population that buys servers, colocation, bandwidth, backup, security tooling and engineering time, and the same population a competing observability vendor wants to reach. Company registers record none of that. A lookup on one domain confirms one guess at a time, which is fine for due diligence and useless for building a market view.

The caveat is that we see an interface, not a deployment. Most Zabbix installations live on internal hostnames, behind a VPN or on ports a web crawl never touches, so as of October 2026 the 741 sites where we detect it represent the exposed edge of a considerably larger installed base. The list is precise about what it contains and silent about what it cannot reach, and for exposure research the first of those properties is the one that matters.
