chatgpt

OpenAI's latest ChatGPT 4o image generator has been all the rave lately. But did you know it can help you to generate Zabbix templates and other very technical stuff in the silliest way possible - by just drafting something on paper? This is not perfect yet, coming with all the gotchas that you have with the code generated by LLMs, but oh boy how we live in the future. Observe!

This was me last night just typing... no what's the old-fashioned way... writing on a paper. I feel bad for you as you try to decipher my handwriting. 

For those of you who were present in Zabbix Summit 2023 in Riga, Latvia do probably remember how InitMAX demoed their Zabbix 7.0 ChatGPT widget. That was and is extremely cool, but even though the plugin itself is freely available and open source, using it with ChatGPT requires a ChatGPT account and real money.

Can you create a radio station with Zabbix? Of course you can! Have you ever wondered what kind of theme song an AI would write about Zabbix? Or how it would sound like if someone would sing your Zabbix alerts? Then keep on reading.

Can you monitor an USB-connected printer with Zabbix? Of course you can! But can ChatGPT help setting up the monitoring? Well... erm... maybe! By day, I am a Lead Site Reliability Engineer in a global cyber security company, Forcepoint. By night, I monitor my home with Zabbix & Grafana and do some weird experiments with them. Welcome to my blog about the project.
