I recently got my hands on a Linksys SRW2048 switch to use as the core of my home network. The main reason why I wanted this was for VLANs so I could start experimenting with them in my homelab, but as a bonus, the switch supports SNMP which means that I can use my Zabbix instance to monitor the stats on the switch.
If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you’ll know that I’ve set up a Motion daemon to monitor one of my IP Cameras.
Recently, I decided to also make a graph of the motion so that I easily track when motion was detected from my IP Camera. This was easily done with the Zabbix agent as I could send data straight into a Zabbix item with zabbix_sender.
With some of the data that I’ve been polling recently, I decided to make a little dashboard for myself for home use.
This dashboard uses some custom screens to display the data that I wanted.
The screens consist of the following –
ADSL Stats
Local Fuel Prices
Local News + Local Weather

In my last post, I built a script to poll my modem via Telnet to retrieve ADSL stats.
In this post, I’ll be using the output of the last script to put the values into Zabbix so I have some history to refer to.
