zabbix

In this weekly Friday blog series I am showing you how I am monitoring my home with Zabbix and Grafana. The whole project is my fun recently started hobby and is already beyond what I originally was aiming for.

New to series? Then please first read part 1 and part 2.

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.
