What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

I'm working with Zabbix for about one year now and I was looking for a book to improve my knowledge about this product.This book is a very good choice. You will learn all the good points to think about before starting installing Zabbix but also after. You will read really interesting things about performance tuning but not by telling you "do that, it will be faster". The author gives you tips and values to improve Zabbix performance but he also learns you how to test those value on your structure and see if those values are the best for you and what each value means. While I ws reading this book I was feeling that the author tried to share all his experience with us and I loved it.I've already started to implement all the good advices and started to work on new project like installing Zabbix Proxy on Raspberry Pi.If I had this book on my hands one year ago, I can tell you that I could have started to work better and it could have helped me to avoid some "beginner" mistakes.If you are a beginner with Zabbix or a pro, this book is for you if you are working (or planning to) with Zabbix and doesn't want to meet performance problem and want to understand how Zabbix works.

This is an very good book about tuning your Zabbix environment. Most books about Zabbix will explain how you monitor environment with items, triggers and web scenarios and how you should do this. But this book will only talk about these things when it is related about performance. Why for example is ".last()" better for performance instead of using "avg()"?. Also your environment/hardware where Zabbix is installed is described in this book. The database is very important in your setup and a whole chapter on tuning is dedicated to this.I personally liked the chapters "Chapter 3: Tuning the Zabbix Server" and "Chapter 10: Monitoring the Health of Zabbix". Chapter 3 is about the triggers I mentioned earlier and buffers and caches. I never found some clear information about these caches and buffers and what they do. Chapter 10 is about the health of Zabbix itself and basically describes the "Template App Zabbix Server" (And Proxy) templates in Zabbix what they mention/do.The author mentioned why he only focused on performance tuning for MySQL, but it would be nice in next releases if there is an chapter about tuning the PostgreSQL database. I was lucky, but I know people who have PostgreSQL as database server who can skip an chapter in this book.I really liked reading this book and is written very nice. I will definitely recommend this book to other Zabbix administrators/users.

It covers all must know topics and components:- Database- Zabbix server- Zabbix proxy- Items and triggers- Storage- Webserver- Php- Operating systemIt describes in higher details how every component interact with each other, how to estimate the size of your infrastructure, hardware for each piece, predict database and organic growth. How to construct and customize templates, why you should do it, how to monitor Zabbix health, and so on.If you already manage a big environment, you can get new ideas, consolidate others and find new ways to improve.If you don't, it will be of great help to get to know some best practices, learn to avoid some problems and/or how to deal with some that you still hit.I almost took one star off of it because of when the book approaches the DBSyncer parameter, it's not mentioned how it does behave in great detail. What the book misses, is that DBSyncer does so by locking HistoryCache by itemid, calculates trends. Sometimes it does generate a bottleneck and does not perform well enough. This is hard to monitor, but still very important. It's better described on https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-9201.Still a great book, though. With it, got few new insights, adopted the use of php accelerators and validated many other aspects of current implementation.

Leitura essencial para aqueles que tem grandes ambientes rodando zabbix.

Daniel Teubner Jul 29, 2015

What I like most about this book is that it is short and quickly to read. But it is full of helpfull informations regarding Zabbix perfomance AND the Zabbix structure in total. So no bla bla around the information.The booked helped me as an "experienced starter" with Zabbix to get a better picture what is in which relation to all the other components of the system.So it is worth not only if you have performance issues but also to get a good background on all the Zabbix components.The tips and things to considere are all clear and can be directly used even the author says that the exact tuning values depends on your structure. But you can copy them to your site and from the book you learn how to tweak them for you and how to monitor them. As my team mate is the Zabbix pro I trusted him a lot but after reading this book I found a lot of things we could have done better from the start. And chaning them now helped us to avoid some pitfalls.So even if the content seems to be for the Zabbix pros it will help us beginners also very good.
