Part 103: Netbox as home CMDB and integrated with Zabbix

Welcome to another episode of What's up, home? weirdness. Who wouldn't have their own Netbox at home and who wouldn't think of it as home CMDB? I just started experimenting with that. For those who do not know, CMDB -- or Configuration Management Database -- is the source of truth for your inventory of stuff. In data centers, your servers, their cables, their everything, telling in which data center and which rack they are.

Part 102: New era for What's up, home? infra

Do you know the feeling when you planned to do just some little changes and few days later you realize you might have gone a bit overkill with your setup? I do now. No new hardware here at What's up, home dungeon, but my Linux laptop has now a bit different setup and I'm probably not even done yet. What I'm doing is that I'm exploring the treasures and gems brought us to by the fantastic world of open-source. Thank you, everybody who makes this possible!

Part 100: What's next for the blog, Proxmox, Zabbix Summit 2024 recap

It's been one hundred blog posts already! Wow! To celebrate that, this blog post will be covering some of the past, the present, and the future.

Zabbix Summit 2024 aftermath

This year, Zabbix Summit 2024 was probably the best ever personally. It seemed that everybody knew me, and I got very good contacts from several companies and met great new people. The speaks, the parties, the food, the people, Riga, everything just excellent. Thank you!

Here's my What's up, home? goes Generative AI speech from the summit:

Part 99: I can haz Zabbix Cloud!

Now that Zabbix rolled out their Zabbix Cloud, of course I rushed in to create a new instance for me. This must be about my quickest blog post ever.

Getting my Zabbix Cloud account was very painless indeed! Few clicks to create an account, within 10-15 minutes I got an e-mail that everything is ready, then few more clicks (like give a name for my instance), wait for the instance to spin up, done! See, it's up:

My Zabbix Summit speech will be on Saturday October 5th 12:20 EEST

About one more week to go before Zabbix Summit 2024 kicks off! Currently my speech is scheduled to be on Saturday October 5th 12:20 EEST. If you are not at the Zabbix Summiit, there will be a live YouTube stream of the event you can follow.  

In the previous Zabbix Summits the schedules have been shuffling a bit so the time is still subject to change, but at least for now it's scheduled for that time slot.

Part 96: Track your typing speed with Zabbix

Can you monitor your typing speed and accuracy with Zabbix? Of course you can! 

Why?

For some time now, I have felt that the external keyboard I use at home makes me a clumsy typer. Whenever I type with my Linux laptop or Mac keyboard, I feel like I make less typos than with the otherwise comfortable external keyboard.  To make the testing more scientific, time to summon good old typespeed and hook it with Zabbix.

Part 95: Monitor Zabbix Security Advisories 100% with Zabbix

Yesterday Zabbix blog had a fascinating entry on how you can use Zabbix to monitor Zabbix Security Advisories. The blog post does go above and beyond to make sure that everything gets captures planned, and does so by using web scraping and AWS Lambdas, for example. Their solution for sure generates better results than what I'm going to show you, but what I'm offering here is a solution that's 100% produced within Zabbix instead of using any 3rd party code.
