Yesterday, while browsing on the Net, I’ve stumbled upon the website of edX - The Future of Online Education.

In the first post about monitoring FreeBSD pkgng in Zabbix, Part I, we’ve seen how to get some nice graphs of the disk space usage and number of packages installed on our systems.

In this post I’m going to show you how to do monitoring of your FreeBSD pkgng-ready system in Zabbix.

In this post we’ll see how we can setup Zabbix in order to monitor our ZFS pools.

In a previous post we’ve seen how to resize a KVM disk image on LVM, which was explained in the Resizing a KVM disk image on LVM, The Hard Way post.

Continuing our CFEngine saga in this post I’m going to show you how to do basic monitoring of the CFEngine’s services in Zabbix.

Knowing that your CFEngine agents are complying to the promises is nice to have in your monitoring system, if not even required.

In this post we’ll see how to find and remove locked files on a NetApp filer.

Sometimes when working with OpenVPN it is nice to have a way to tell the OpenVPN server that you’d like to get the same IP address each time you connect to it, or in other words you’d like to get a static IP address instead a dynamic one from the IP pool.

Some time ago in a previous handbook I’ve posted about how to install and configure OpenVPN on FreeBSD.
