Can you monitor the regular use of facial cream with Zabbix? Of course you can! Here's how. This same method could be very useful for monitoring if the elderly remember to take their meds or so.
(I am posting my weekly Friday blog about how I monitor my home with Zabbix & Grafana a day early, as today I'll be working in the evening and have my morning free, and not so sure about tomorrow. Originally my plan was to write about something completely else, but this was too good to skip.)
Last week I wrote about how I monitor my home with Zabbix. This week, I am showing how I utilise Grafana to visualise the data collected by Zabbix and what are my plans to further improve all this.
For those of you who know me, this should not come as a surprise: I absolutely love Zabbix. It gives me the ultimate freedom to monitor whatever I need to monitor and is flexible enough to be able to monitor absolutely everything you can imagine. It's free, it's open source, and scales to whatever needs you might have.
What does a monitoring nerd who is a technical lead for monitoring in a global cyber security company do during his downtime? That's a silly question, mind you. Of course he monitors his home with a home Zabbix instance.
