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.

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! Dimitri Bellini here, and welcome back to Quadrata, my channel dedicated to the world of open source and all the IT that I, and hopefully you, find fascinating.

This week, we're diving into a powerful solution that addresses a common and persistent challenge in IT management: the lack of a single, reliable source of information. In large infrastructures, it's often difficult to know what objects exist, where they are, what their relationships are, and how to even begin monitoring them. Many turn to a Configuration Management Database (CMDB), but keeping it manually updated is a struggle. What if we could automate this process?
