  • LibreNMS is a totally awesome piece of software. I manage an installation that monitors a big network of layer 2 switches. It has full monitoring and alerting on every single port (something like 60k ports). It also monitors cpu, temperature, memory…
  • (Quote) Please explain how? Grafana is a visualization tool, it cant even do the most basic monitoring without help. You would need something like Telegraf or node-exporter, or some kind of custom solution that feeds a Prometheus, Influx or similar …
  • Nagios or Icinga could certainly do it, but the learning curve is steep. Uptime Kuma would probably have you up and running in minutes but I think you will have to do some custom api calls to get the exact functionality you want. I think things lik…
  • (Quote) I can do all of that and more with Icinga or Nagios, but thanks.
  • (Quote) I think you missunderstod me somewhere. I've been running Nagios since it was called Netsaint, some of my installations are 16 node gearman setups with six figures hosts checks. I do not need docker to run Nagios. :smile:
  • (Quote) That is actually pretty clever, cant understand why I have never thought of this. :smile: I use Icinga for similar functionality but I always put the call for Icinga inside the script that cron executes. It gives a little more flexibility s…
  • Something like Nagios, Icinga or CheckMK would give you an arsenal of tools, but the learning curve is quite steep. If you simply want to monitor websites with as little effort as possible, I think changedetection.io mentioned above looks like a wi…
  • (Quote) That's one of the things I like about letting Icinga handle the alerting. I can get the notifications via mail, sms, pushover, on a website, on the tv in the noc, it can call the office receptionist or even blink the lights in the office. Or…
  • (Quote) It depends on what the jobs actually do. To just monitor logs can be a bit hazardous, what if the job stops and does not output any logs? Are you monitoring for that as well? I have cron jobs that actually monitor other cron jobs. In some s…
  • (Quote) No, you can not. The law applies to goods, not services. If I check in, use the hotel room and then try to cancel, you as a provider can not resell the time I spent in that room to recoup the costs. The idea behind the law is that if the se…
  • (Quote) I kind of get it if its on a support or helpdesk section of the site, if you click on support you probably want to talk to someone. So yeah, I can accept that. But in any other scenario, I agree with you, a contact us link in the footer or …
  • (Quote) No, please don't! If it is one thing that drives me away from a site faster than anything else, it's those constantly annoying "we are here for you, wanna talk?" bubbles that refuses to go away. If I want to talk I will let you kn…
  • (Quote) I just thought it was a strange way to word it. Usually you say something like "ping failed" or "no reply". "Ping responded" infers that there was a reply, however unsuccessful. Anyway, no big deal, just sound…
  • (Quote) Same here. :smile:
  • (Quote) Is it just me, or is that a weird way to say that something didn't work?
  • (Quote) My bad, I'm not a native English speaker and in my native language its actually spelled imbecill. I make mistakes, I'm only human.
  • (Quote) My apologies, I seem to have underestimated the imbecills.
  • (Quote) I agree with @red The 3D effect looks "Windows Vista"-ish, and it clashes with the otherwise modern and fresh look and feel of the site. Adding that 3D effect does nothing for visibility, it just looks weird and annoying, I think …
  • (Quote) That is actually a really good way to explain it. If you have a 4 lane highway, then you can handle 4 cares at a time. Even an imbecill should be able to understand that.
  • (Quote) If I am a customer they hopefully use it to communicate with me, so I would not call that phishing.
  • (Quote) I have an entire domain dedicated to spamtrap so that's not really the problem, I simply do not wish to do business with someone that phish for my email before I'm a customer.
  • (Quote) I am sure you mean it but as a user I have no way of knowing that, so I will not give you my email. Any provider that asks for my email before I have decided to buy from them will never be able to sell me anything.
  • I ran it for maybe six months on a few boxes that I know are heavily targeted. It is a good idea, but it's a bit messy and the documentation needs a lot of work. Every time I fiddled with it I could not stop thinking "this does not need to be t…
  • (Quote) It's been a few years since I looked at it, but atleast then the free version was basically a Nagios clone. The new kernel with microscheduling, all the fancy dashboards and graphs and stuff only came with the paid versions. Have not look at…
  • (Quote) I would say powerful. Powerful like in a landmine. It can be extremely effective when used correctly, but if you don't know what you are doing it will be a mess.
  • The beginning of Checkmk forked from Nagios like 20 years ago, so if you want to compare it with something I would say Nagios, Icinga or OP5 is closest. I think the Checkmk Raw Edition actually still runs the Nagios core, its only the Enterprise edi…
  • (Quote) I have a few domains there. Have had some issues with transfers getting stuck and it took support a couple of days to answer and then another couple of days to fix the problem, so if you are the kind of user that requires constant and immed…
  • Got the letter, pimped one of the laptops and my workstation. Thanks! :smile: (Image)
  • (Quote) True, but you got the reason wrong. They are idiots because they are inconsiderate assholes that only think about themself, not because of ROI.
  • Also, kvm is a virtualization technology, its a vps. I'm not really sure what you are trying to say when you differentiate between vps and kvm but I'm pretty sure you got something wrong there.
  • Think of it as an airplane. If you pay for one seat, you use one seat. There is nothing stopping you from using parts of the seats next to you as well, but the people paying for those seats surely will not appreciate it and you will most likely get …
