One of our clients requested us a solution to monitor temperature in their datacenters with one condition, this should send data to a Zabbix server without cloud or any other integrations directly using a WIFI network. Once we had received request we searched for some available solutions but none oh them was satisfying us. This was the moment when we decided to use a ESP32 board with a soldered temperature sensor, in short words building Read more…

First of all we will need to edit file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and add there the following line right after lines starting with com2sec: Adding this line will enable SNMP agent with TCP and UDP protocols on the node SNMP agents. After making Read more…

Today we will talk about little different type of content than usual one. We will have some fun with ESP boards and a relay connected. Steps to control a relay with ESP32/ESP8266: We will configure ESP to connect to WIFI, bring up a basic webserver and then create a route to toggle our relay and get relay status so sketch is the following one: Looking to integrate IoT devices into centralized monitoring or automation?→ Check Read more…

Today we will talk about option to add any NFS storage to your existing Kubernetes cluster.
