Deep-dive articles and video tutorials from our engineers — covering Zabbix, Kubernetes, AI agents, and open-source infrastructure.

Good morning everyone! I’m Dimitri Bellini, and welcome back to Quadrata, my channel dedicated to the open-source world and the technology I love. As always, this content is driven by you—the community. Your likes, comments, and feedback help me broaden my horizons and bring you the best solutions every week.

Today, we are diving into something truly special. We have a thriving community here in the Zabbix Italia Telegram group, now boasting over 600 active users. It’s a place where we discuss everything from embarrassing questions to high-level corporate strategies. Recently, a very prolific member of our community, Manuel, released a repository of custom Zabbix modules that he developed himself.

Hi everyone! I'm Dimitri Bellini, and welcome back to my channel, Quadrata, where we dedicate ourselves to the open-source world and the technology that drives it.

As I always say, I like this tech, but you must like it too. That's why I appreciate every comment you leave—it helps us build a community and discover solutions that might be outside my usual visual spectrum. This week, we are stepping away from our usual comfortable spaces (like Komodo or Portainer) to test a new, sleek solution for managing containers.

With the new year comes new technology, and today I want to talk about a project that I recently had to get involved with for a customer. We needed to replace a very famous S3 solution—MinIO.

Good morning everyone, and welcome back to Quadrata! Given the special time of year, I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. This week, I have something truly special to share—a real game-changer for anyone using Zabbix, particularly the 7.0 Long-Term Support (LTS) release.

As many of you know, Zabbix 7.0 is the go-to version for production environments where stability and long-term support are critical. While it's fantastic, I've always felt there were a few missing pieces in the dashboarding experience, especially when compared to some features in the newer 7.4 release. Today, that changes. Thanks to the incredible work of our friend Ryan Eberly, we now have a powerful, feature-rich Table widget backported to version 7.0!
