| luna | how to tell apt in ubuntu to not upgrade a package? | 09:54 |
|---|---|---|
| luna | oh well too lazy to fight with that now, atleast Spotify still works on FreeBSD thats what i use the compat layer/jail for | 10:17 |
| P-NuT | Hey there guys! | 13:08 |
| P-NuT | I have a ubuntu router with 2 nics that I have enabled ip forwarding on with: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. | 13:08 |
| P-NuT | But when I change it to a 0 to STOP ip forwarding, i can still send packets through it. | 13:09 |
| P-NuT | It's like the 0 makes no difference. | 13:09 |
| P-NuT | Ahh, hang on. Disregard. It's virtualbox's NAT networking.. | 13:32 |
| foo | Does anyone have a favorite service that does something like pingdom? | 14:41 |
| foo | Need to check HTTP status | 14:41 |
| shubjero | foo: uptime robot? | 14:47 |
| RoyK | foo: I just use zabbix | 14:51 |
| foo | shubjero / RoyK -thank you! | 14:52 |
| shubjero | RoyK: we use zabbix too but we use uptime robot as like a 3rd party sanity check | 14:52 |
| shubjero | if zabbix goes down things get pretty quiet so its nice to have a backup check :) | 14:53 |
| shubjero | or maybe your zabbix server can reach whats being monitored but other stuff on the internet (like uptime robot) provide another look in terms of global reachability | 14:53 |
| RoyK | shubjero: look into web scenarios in zabbix - it's been there for some years | 14:57 |
| RoyK | that goes to foo as well :) | 14:58 |
| shubjero | royk: yeah we have hundreds | 14:58 |
| RoyK | shubjero: ok - large setup? ;);2~ | 14:58 |
| shubjero | but hte problem still exists as zabbix as a single point of failure and or a global reachability problem compared to your zabbix's viewpoint | 14:58 |
| RoyK | shubjero: ok - large setup? ;) | 14:58 |
| RoyK | shubjero: that's a valid point | 14:58 |
| shubjero | the uptime robot is just complimentary for some edge cases | 14:58 |
| shubjero | but i love zabbix | 14:59 |
| RoyK | personally, I don't particularly love zabbix - some stuff is just too much hassle, but again, I don't know any good alternatives ;) | 14:59 |
| shubjero | yeah, steep learning curve and some things are cumbersome but ive literally never had zabbix server crash in 6 years of using it.. and the answer to "can zabbix monitor this?" is always yes | 15:01 |
| RoyK | shubjero: I started out using netsaint some >20 years back, then nagios, mrtg, munin, icinga, xymon/hobbit, and then zabbix and I think it works rather well now | 15:01 |
| shubjero | and free | 15:01 |
| shubjero | and you can pull pretty much everything from zabbix in to grafana for other parts of your team to consume without overwhelming them with zabbix's poor UI | 15:02 |
| RoyK | I know - we use both | 15:02 |
| ahasenack | coreycb: hi, are we still in trouble regarding openstack and the new django in kinetic? Do you know if there is work in progress upstream to support this new django? | 15:07 |
| coreycb | ahasenack: I think we are good. I've been submitting patches upstream this week. | 15:22 |
| coreycb | still some more work todo but getting there. | 15:22 |
| ahasenack | nice | 15:22 |
| tomreyn | foo: also prometheus + grafana | 15:23 |
| tomreyn | foo: for more SaaS / remote monitoring services: freshping, statuscake | 15:26 |
| foo | tomreyn: thank you! Looking for something I can get set up quickly in the short-term, will move to something more involved later | 16:49 |
| tomreyn | foo: freshping does 50 checks against not just http at 1 minute intervals from 10 locations for free - it won't get better for free. | 16:54 |
| foo | tomreyn: thakn you! | 18:49 |
| foo | tomreyn: just signed up, thank you. This will do until I script something myself and stick it on a few different systems. | 20:46 |
| tomreyn | foo: glad i could help. | 21:19 |
