Some people/companies will and some won't. It all depends on each situation. Research is paramount to making the correct decision.

Good thing the fire marshal couldn't make his way in there... 

as adatole‌ said "this spice must flow"....whichh means that some days there is not enough caffeine..

granted logs work well for some stuff. SAM doesn't do unix logs well, granted you can use syslog forwarder to send them...but then you can't build component monitors around it. You are stuck with an alertable event only.

sadly my lack of caffeine and a little dyslexia caused me to misinterpret day 9's objective. 

Good info and links ! Thanks for posting this.

so much data, so little time, so few cycles to process...

Naw...just a little beach entry on the east coast during the winter. That's how I got my open water card. March on the NC coast...Brrr.

Thus our insecurity... 

there is no such thing as stupid proof. Stupid resistant is about as close as you can get.

Good call rschroeder​ !

levitating death star speaker looks pretty nifty and the grand prize would be fun too.

I also got the big red invalid set of parameters has been specified in the URL. So just waiting for the Admins of Thwack to correct the URL so we can proceed.

looks to be. Depends on what connotation they apply to "populated". Is blades that are up with guests or the total number of blades that populate the chassis. as a side note...if you hover over one of the active blades the pop-up has a comments field...it reads "dark_theme_is_life"

I think it should tie into a change in the environment...like an interface speed change which NPM polls and picks up on it's own.... Thus known/discovered metric changes that affect the display of the chart would trigger the placement of the bubble. For example: You have a network link to a remote site and the circuit is…

I believe michael stump pretty much nailed it down...

Monitoring individual text files on specific servers - without using perl, powershell, vbscript is the area that sorely needs to be addressed. Having to watch for multiple strings to cover different events using home grown solutions executed remotely is still inefficient at best. 

good points...but in many cases things like backup strategies differ and somehow must be consolidated...and the result coordinated throughout the consolidation period.

Not just an issue at federal level....I believe they have more issues there than at the civvie level but this is a common one through IT these days.

and stop assuming.....

Loaded my first tape back in 1972...I wasn't even as tall as the tape drive then. The 360 (not the xbox) was a ocd'ers nightmare. Anyone remember what 800, 1600, 6250 was all about ?

More performance dimensions definitely requires more monitoring. All those different dimensions are trees that are getting in the way of your view of the forest. You need to look at the forest from different directions at the same time (different perspectives) in order to get a better holistic view of the forest.

adatole​, very nice...poignant and yet covers the gamut of experiences. I had to sit back and think about it on many levels...seeing fences that I didn't realize were there.

Tuesday morning where is the coffee morning Bump !

I can see where a highly available app could be located in the could as long as it is well replicated amongst several sites...just hate the thought of private or PII (personally identifiable information) being out under someone else's control or prying eyes...

I have no experience in this but I do look forward to seeing what others have to say.

Good posting.. On the first topic..pick your naming standard carefully and then stick to it. Nothing screws things up more than having more than one way to refer to something. It will always find a way to bite you.

Apple ][+...there was a great clone of it called a Franklin. Used it with a 1200 baud modem to dial into school for a programing class (Pascal). The server was so overloaded that my response time was 5 minutes for a character to echo back after a keypress..... first boot in 30 years:

too late...too many of us have already lost our mind
