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!

Good morning, everyone! It’s Dimitri Bellini, and welcome back to Quadrata, my channel dedicated to the world of open-source IT. It’s an exciting week because our good friend, Zabbix, has just rolled out a major new version: Zabbix 7.4! After months of hard work from the Zabbix team, this release is packed with features that will change the way we monitor our infrastructure. So, let's dive in together and explore what’s new.

Let's start with what I consider the most mind-bending, "centrifugal" new feature: nested low-level discovery (LLD). Until now, LLD was fantastic for discovering objects like file systems or network interfaces on a host. But we couldn't go deeper. If you discovered a database, you couldn’t then run another discovery *within* that database to find all its tablespaces dynamically.

Good morning, everyone! It's Dimitri Bellini, and welcome back to my channel, Quadrata, where we explore the fascinating world of open source and IT. This week, I'm revisiting a topic that frequently comes up in my work: SNMP monitoring with Zabbix. There have been some significant updates in recent Zabbix versions, especially regarding how SNMP is handled, so I wanted to share a recap and dive into these new features.

I apologize for missing last week; work had me on the move. But I'm back, and with the recent release of Zabbix 7.4, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit a powerful feature: Low-Level Discovery (LLD). There's an interesting new function in 7.4 that I want to discuss, but first, let's get a solid understanding of what LLD is all about.
