Let's get back to monZphere for a moment. One of the custom Zabbix widgets they provide -- AI Insights -- is something completely different.
Yes, that's a Zabbix widget showing plain text. Why would I blog about such thing? Because this is a seriously cool widget, approaching accessibility for all from a very nice angle. Let's take a closer look
See, this widget is using generative AI for describing what's shown on the screen, making a monitoring and observability tool like Zabbix way more accessible fro those who are unable to see. A screenreader can read through this (that's how I imagine, I have not personally used those), or there's the Narrate option so the widget will then speak the contents out loud for you.
But there's more than just a summary, the contents can be useful for those who have good eyesight, too. For example, the widget can provide you with quick insights.
... or a diagnosis view, suggesting you some actions:
It also wields a crystal ball and is able to tell you some forecasts how it estimates the overall status to look like in the future.
Overall, this kind of development and idea is a very good idea indeed, and I'm sure the module will gain new features and usability options as the time passes.
But how much does it cost? I have great news, the module is fully open source and is available on monZphere's Github!
