• syncoid alerts: how are you all getting notified on sync failure/success/etc?

  I use Monit (https://mmonit.com/monit/) to manage syncoid operation, scheduling and alerts. This also assists with grouping of jobs and provides at-a-glance status on the M/Monit dashboard. Source: about 1 year ago

• monmon -- Monitor your monitoring with a Raspberry Pi (or, annoy yourself with a flashing light whenever you have issues with Healthchecks.io, Monit, or UptimeRobot!)

  I recently switched to Monit to keep tabs on my servers, and although I really like the Idea of M/Monit, a paid product that lets you monitor all of your Monit instances in one Place (as well as giving you extended functionality), I just couldn't justify the cost. So I set out to create my own super lightweight M/Monit alternative, one that would Simply alert me of any issues with my Monit instances, and then I... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can no longer connect to protectli/opnsense device

  Using MONIT or ZABBIX plugins to set up email (text, etc) alerts for when power is switched to batter, or from battery to mains, or the device has recovered from a total power loss. And monitor and alert for other things like connection loss (WAN/LAN) and more. Source: about 2 years ago

• Monitor disk status with ssacli

  I like monit because it’s simple, and has an easy web interface. I use m/monit to aggregate all my servers into one interface. Source: over 2 years ago

• Finally got a landing page built for my little lab, after much inspiration from this sub!

  I'm only running Monit on my OPNsense box, because it lets you configure some really specific conditions to watch/ trigger notifications for, and that was important for my firewall. It's great, but I wish there was a decent UI like M/Monit, but open source. Source: about 3 years ago

• What do you use to visualize your topology?

  Two manually updated svg maps on nagvis that integrate with our icinga checks, one for the transport system nodes and one for the routers. Source: 12 months ago

• SSLPing permanently goes out of service

  Might be a bit of an overkill if you just want to check the certificates, but I'm using Icinga (formerly known as Nagios) to keep track of all of the systems - including webpage certificates. Source: about 2 years ago

• What "legacy" software are you still forced to use in 2022 that you wish would die?

  Some of it can be migrated rather easily to Icinga https://icinga.com/. Icinga forked from Nagios many years ago, they rewrote the engine and have done a nice WebUI. It is able to support e.g. Business branches using "satellites" that act as proxy to the main server/ server cluster. I was one of the two guys doing the setup for a company with multiple branch offices/ factories and during the time I was there it... Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there any program that can alert you of a stalled Plex Server?

  Personally I run https://icinga.com/ (to all my services, including Plex) and it polls every 5sec and after 5 fails in a row it sends me an email. Source: over 2 years ago

• Linux is dead, long-live Docker monoculture

  Fast forward 12 years and I have Icinga2 collectors in each datacenter using check_by_ssh to run check_systemd, all front-ended by Thruk. The TIG stack is something on my list of things to look into at some point, but with Dynatrace available to do all the fancy application monitoring, there's no rush. Source: over 2 years ago
