AIEEEE!!! Potential hiccups ahead for my master server, as today I started to observe these in dmesg output after rebooted my Raspberry Pi.

Just.a quick note: as the Drupal version (9.x) this site was running on is not supported anymore, I migrated the site to Drupal 10.x. As the theme I was using with Drupal 9.x is not compatible with 10.x, the site is for now using the Drupal 10 default theme. That actually looks quite OK, so I'll get back to theming whenever I have time.

Can you monitor NixOS with Zabbix? Of course you can! And that's why I've been silent lately.

Well the bold text is pretty much unnecassary. NixOS is at least semi-supported for Zabbix. I would not set my primary server with NixOS, not with its current state, but for everything else, it's awesome and different.

Thanks everyone for the awesome Zabbix Summit 2023! It was a pleasure, yet again. Here's just a quick update, as unfortunately I was sick for several days last and this week.

Now... the QR code thing I did show to you during my first speech. The next day I told that total I saw about 800 hits to that page. Of course, we had a joker in our audience who wanted to refresh the page more than once, and he admitted that to me after the event on LinkedIn. :)

• Controlling my home with Zabbix
• Monitoring myself with Zabbix

Can you monitor your ad-blocker with Zabbix? Of course you can!

My home Asus router is running on Asuswrt-Merlin firmware, and with that I have AdGuard Home ad-blocker.

As AdGuard Home has an API, monitoring it with Zabbix is trivial.

Can you monitor tripped fuses with Zabbix? Of course you can!

Some time ago our district heating got some beating. There was a heavy storm which probably did cause the fuse for our district heating device to trip, and I did only notice that after maybe ten hours by accident. I noticed it when I went to check the ventilation control panel, which is in the same closet than our district heating device.

Just a bit over one month and it's time for Zabbix Summit 2023! See you there!

Today Forcepoint's Finland team had our Community Service Day, during which we do something good for our communities. Much of the team went for example to donate blood or do some outdoor activities, like helping to clean parks and beaches.

I decided to help one of our local businesses. Not giving out its name because that would immediately reveal where I live. Anyway, the business owners were totally impressed that someone would offer them support like this for free.

As my home monitoring experiment has become such celebrity and as it has so much going on, I'm trying to make sure I won't ever lose its configuration and data, no matter what would happen. Here's some tips and reminders for you, too.
