This document discusses using Zabbix in an IoT architecture for monitoring industrial and smart city applications. It describes how Zabbix can be used with gateway hardware to collect sensor data using various protocols like MODBUS. Specifically, it outlines a use case where Zabbix Proxy installed on a Gropius Multiutility Concentrator gateway collects electricity consumption data from multiple sensors connected via MODBUS to monitor energy usage in different zones of a building. The document concludes that Zabbix is well-suited for IoT scenarios due to its ability to integrate data from various sources via modules and APIs and visualize data through Grafana.

Design and implementation of microcontroller in fpga for io tIJARIIT
One of the buzz words in the Information Technology is the Internet of Things (IoT). In coming years, IoT will
transform the objects which are present in the real world into virtual objects. IoT keep us informed about the status of objects
and controls of things in a sensor network. Sensor node comprises of the sensor, microcontroller and RF transceiver. A
microcontroller is an integrated circuit which basically performs one task and executes a particular application. It contains
programmable in/out peripherals, memory, and processor. Microcontrollers are mostly designed in view of embedded and are
used to automatically controllable systems. In digital system design microcontrollers and field programmable gate arrays
(FPGAs), both are widely used. Microcontroller based devices are becoming increasingly widespread. On one hand, high speed,
power, and falling prices make them an obvious choice whereas fast growing popularity of FPGAs, the availability of powerful
development tools and the increase in speed and high density have made FPGA based systems an alternative choice. Sensor node
controller is going to develop using VHDL with behavioral modeling which is an abstract model of the controller and breaks
down of the system into subcomponents and functional blocks.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Using Zabbix in IoT Architecture
1. Using Zabbix in an
IoT Architecture
...with the right hardware
Fabrizio Fantoni // Systematica
2. Presentation
Systematica is the tech subsidiary of Gruppo Finmatica
Developing and supporting software for Government and
Healthcare organizations.
Zabbix is used since 2009 to monitor systems and
applications deployed on our customers.
Fabrizio Fantoni
System Administrator and Zabbix Trainer
3. What is IoT ?
(Internet of Things)
IoT describe a new way to interact with things around us.
IoT is a “revolutionary evolution” beyond machine-to-machine
communications (M2M): it permits high connectivity of sensors,
devices and systems.
IoT is DATA, a huge amount of Data that can be use to take decisions.
5. Different type of IoT
IoT is a technology used in two different ways
● IoT in Consumer marketplace
Mobile Phones, Bracelets, GPS, home automation etc…
● IoT in Industry and SmartCities
Energy Management, Industry Automation, Environment monitoring
7. IoT in Consumer MarketPlace
Many vendors in an extreme competitive market.
Lack of standards, every vendor has its technology and way
to use and analyze data.
A LOT of data to collect and analyze, a job for Big Data Analysts
and Data Scientists.
8. IoT for Industry and SmartCities
Mostly based on legacy and custom applications, it’s the new hot trend nowadays1
,
especially focused on Energy Management and Environment Monitor.
The technology chosen must be simple to install and integrate well with existing
devices.
One of the application of IoT in industry and SmartCities is to analyze where energy
is wasted to reduce cost and pollution.
1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_city
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry_4.0
9. The way we have chosen:
Industry and SmartCities
Consumer IoT is for big players who start from creating the device to the data
analysis (Google, Fitbit, Neurio, etc…).
People expect a simple way to interact with a device, don’t ask for customization
but choose the device by cost or fashion.
Industry and SmartCities want custom project, designed and ready to be
modified to satisfy new needs.
Data must be always available (OpenData) and exportable (Cost analysis,
accounting, etc…).
10. What Industry wants
It is preferable to be able to use existing sensors
Hardware used must work in a noisy
and dusty environment (no fan)
Is better if hardware can be fixed in a DIN slide inside a box
(no PC or caseless device)
The solution must work with minimal maintenance
Collected data may be available to be used for internal analysis
NO!
11. What SmartCities wants
Project must be modular, start small
and grow over time
The technology used is preferably to be
Open Source
Data must be readable and reusable (OpenData)
The software must be simple to use
and supported for a long time
12. Sensors in industry and SmartCities
The big part of sensors used in industry automation or environment monitoring
use a communication protocol called MODBUS.
Some sensor are based on SNMP, via ethernet or WiFi.
Other have proprietary way to collect data and a set of API to retrieve those.
A IoT gateway must be able to collect data in different ways.
14. Can Zabbix be use for it
YES
But with the right hardware
15. Pros of Zabbix
● Distributed monitoring by proxy
To be able to create a network of (proxy) gateways and collect data in a safe place.
● Custom items
To pull data in different ways from different sensors (SNMP, MODBUS, scripts)
● Open Database schema
To extract data with common reports utility
● API
Integrate with other portal (ex: Grafana) and automatic configuration of hosts/items
● Low footprint for proxy and agent
Can be installed on small appliance
● Proxy run on Linux and require minimal configuration
16. Three challenges
1. ModBus protocol, what is it and how can I retrieve data?
2. Remote and easy configuration when sensors are
added/removed
3. Hardware of gateway must be usable in an industry
environment (no fan, protected case, ability to fix in a box)
17. ModBus
the standard of industry communication
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modbus
Used in many sensors, using only 2 or 4 wires (on RS485) and can be extend up to 1,2 Km.
From 1 up to 247 devices can be in a single cable line, every device can be polled for a lot of
numeric and string data.
Supported in zabbix by a loadable module: https://github.com/v-zhuravlev/libzbxmodbus
18. Remote configuration of gateway
A gateway is a embedded hardware who have Zabbix Proxy installed.
Using Zabbix Proxy on a gateway device allow to change configuration from
Zabbix Server when a new sensor is installed. No need to operate on gateway.
The configuration is stored on Zabbix Server. This enables us to simply change
gateway if it breaks.
Zabbix Proxy can cache data in case of communication problem.
19. Hardware used for gateway device
To be compliant with the needs of an industrial environment
we choose a modular product engineered and made in Italy:
The Gropius Multiutility Concentrator
Crafted by SinTau
http://www.sintau.it
20. Gateway Hardware description
The Gropius MUC is a MultiUtility Concentrator performing the following features:
● very high performances
● Linux based system
● Gigabit Ethernet
● Flash base Storage
● GPRS3G4G
● WiFi IEEE 802.11 gn
● RS485CANSPI
● PLC HomePlugAV, HomeGreenPHY,G3
Hardware is modular and expandable and compatible with Zabbix Proxy and Agent 3.0.
21. Gateway Hardware description
The main controller is based on an ARM processor running Linux Debian Embedded or OpenWRT.
The system is provided with 2 Gigabit Ethernet, RS485, CAN bus, USB.
A number of communication modules are available in order to increase the interface capability and
communication technologies.
6LowPAN @868 Mhz and DUST @2.4 Ghz are already available.
HGP and WMBUS #169/868 Mhz are under development.
22. Use case for Energy Management
A company wants to measure and analyze energy consumption of the headquarter,
distributed in two floors on the same building.
The building is separated in 9 different zones by electric fuse boxes.
Every fuse box has a Nemo D4-Le Multifunction Indicator, with Modbus output.
Using the ethernet cabling already present all the Multifunction Indicators was joined
in a single bus and connected to the Gropius Gateway, on the modbus RS-485 port.
23. Logic Schema
Every multimeters is connected on the same bus and configured with a different ModBus ID
The Gropius Gateway has the ModBus hardware module installed and Modbus Zabbix loadable
module compiled.
It’s configured as Zabbix Proxy on Zabbix Server
RS-485
Ethernet
ID 4 ID 2ID 3 ID 1
Zabbix
Server
24. Configuration on Zabbix Server
For every sensor an host is created and put under
Gropius Proxy monitoring
A template is linked to the host with a UserMacro
identifying the ModBus ID
25. Configuration on Zabbix Server
Items read the modbus registry of the measure*
*Look at the modbus module ReadMe for the items
key syntax.
Load modbus module on zabbix agent to test with zabbix_get utility:
root@gropius:~# zabbix_get -s localhost -kmodbus_read_registers["/dev/ttyS1 9600 N",9,0x1518,3,l,1,0]
26. Example of only lighting system power consumption (all fuse box).
As you can see the office opens at 7:30 and close at 20:30 after cleaning. It seems that at
19:30 people need more artificial light.
29. Choosing the right sensor for the desired measures can be hard
Understand how to pull data from Modbus is another challenge, especially for people
like us who are used to work with snmp, agent or databases.
Connecting sensors to gateway is a problem, it needs wiring work and that is not
always feasible. Some new technology are out but need testing:
● 6LoWPAN
● DUST/WMBUS
Faced Challenge
30. What we learned
Zabbix is not only a great server and network monitoring solution, but it can be used
