To get Zabbix to send a list of all installed Linux packages along with their versions, you'll need to use custom scripts and user parameters to gather this information and then create an item and a trigger in Zabbix. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieve this: Step 1: Create a Script to List Installed Packages Create a script on your Linux machine that lists all installed packages with their versions. Here’s an example script for both Debian-based and RPM-based distributions: For Debian-ba

Session state is crucial when developing applications with Streamlit for several reasons. Streamlit is a powerful framework for building interactive, data-driven web applications in Python. However, it operates with a stateless architecture, meaning each interaction with the app (like a button click or slider change) triggers a complete rerun of the script. Without session state management, maintaining user-specific data across these interactions can be challenging. Here’s why session state is i
