Zabbix saved us from a freezer incident

By whatsuphome | 9:52 AM EET, Thu February 02, 2023
Freezer

This morning my wife took something out of the freezer and for some reason the door was not properly closed. Unlike back in March 2022 during which a similar incident (but with an accidental power button push) started this while project, today nothing bad happened. We got alerts as soon as the freezer got too warm, and closing the door did resolve the issue in 15 minutes. Thanks, Zabbix!

Part 26: Zabbix the storyteller

By whatsuphome | 11:15 AM EET, Fri November 04, 2022
Fairy tale time!

Can you create fairy tales with Zabbix? Of course you can! By day, I am a monitoring technical lead in a global cyber security company. By night, I monitor my home with Zabbix & Grafana and do some weird experiments with them. Welcome to my blog about this project.

We all know how Zabbix has the never-ending list of integrations for just about everything --need to integrate it with OpsGenie, PagerDuty, Teams, Slack or something else? No problem, there's probably a ready-made integration for that already.
