Media Fusion Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka) will launch the 'MF Self-Defense Server Integrated Monitoring System' in the summer of 2026, aimed at supporting centralized monitoring of multiple servers, particularly Internet-facing servers with high external threat risks, and reducing the labor involved in initial responses.
Based on 'Zabbix,' widely used open-source software in the server monitoring field, the system incorporates our proprietary extensions such as countermeasures against excessive access and AI log analysis functions. It enables an operational workflow where staff can grasp the situation and prepare before actually accessing the server to respond.

●Background
In the operation of Internet-facing servers, predicting threats and the speed of initial judgment against external attacks or sudden increases in access are crucial. On the other hand, as the number of servers increases, inconsistencies in monitoring settings and the standard procedure of 'logging in first to check the situation' when an incident occurs often become bottlenecks, leading to increased workload for staff and variations in response quality.
'Zabbix,' widely adopted in the server monitoring field, is reported to have over 300,000 installations in more than 190 countries and regions worldwide (Source: ▶Zabbix Official Website).
Building upon this Zabbix foundation, our company has constructed a mechanism to operate multiple servers under the same standards by templating monitoring designs (items to acquire, thresholds, notification destinations) and adding automated transmission of anomaly logs and automated initial actions. This allows staff to understand the situation before accessing the servers.
This system combines standard Zabbix monitoring and notifications with our proprietary extensions to achieve both 'speed of deployment' and 'speed of initial response.' The key points are as follows:
●Features and Benefits
1) Rapid Deployment and Setup of Zabbix
Monitoring with Zabbix consists of a Zabbix Agent placed on each server and a Zabbix Server that performs centralized monitoring. This system enables short-term deployment and setup by standardizing monitoring templates and delivering via Docker.
Standardization of Monitoring Design (Templates): Templates are created for monitoring acquisition items, thresholds, notification destinations, log transmissions, etc., for typical apps/services. By applying a common template first and adjusting only the differences specific to the app, the need for individual investigation and setup work for each server is reduced.
Short-time Deployment (Docker): Zabbix and our extension features are provided via Docker, simplifying the deployment procedure. This shortens the setup time from environment preparation to the start of operation and facilitates version upgrades associated with operation.
2) Zabbix Extension Features
The following are extension features added by our company to the standard Zabbix functions.
Countermeasures Against Excessive Access (Automated): Triggered by CPU or network traffic on the Zabbix Agent, in cases of excessive access, the offending IP is temporarily blocked, and necessary logs are automatically sent. In other cases, an alert is sent. In recent years, AI crawling has surged, leading to concentrated bot access, and misbehaving bots are temporarily blocked.
Anomaly Behavior Detection & Emergency Countermeasures: An alert is issued when excessive file system access, assuming a ransomware attack, is detected. If it continues for a certain period, emergency measures such as stopping the target service are automatically executed.
Alert History & Chronological Review: Records alerts and response statuses, tracking them chronologically. This streamlines post-incident analysis, reporting, and handovers.
Vulnerability & Configuration Centralized Management: Centrally manages OS/middleware versions and automatically retrieves vulnerability information published on JVN, etc., via API. It quickly extracts the scope of impact and issues alerts according to the severity.
AI Log Analysis: Generative AI assists in analyzing logs sent from Zabbix and other relevant servers. It supports pursuing the root cause through summarization and correlation of alerts and collected logs (presenting cause candidates, impact scope, and proposed next actions).
●Assumed Use Cases
Primarily for Internet-facing servers with high external threat risks (including internal/private servers as needed), the assumed operation involves centrally monitoring multiple servers under the same standards, and automatically collecting and sending logs during anomalies so the situation can be grasped before access. Typical usage scenarios are as follows:
Public Server Monitoring: Early detection of anomalies in public servers, supporting situational awareness and initial judgment through automated transmission of necessary logs (temporarily blocking IPs during excessive access).
