[16:29] <shivaya> hi folks, is there a way to have cloud-init (user-data) create raid 1 disk? i was going through the docs and was unable to find any info on that
[16:31] <ahasenack> shivaya: hi, I don't know, but try perhaps in the #cloud-init channel
[16:31] <ahasenack> I
[16:31] <ahasenack> I'm assuming it's not for the root disk, right, but some attached storage
[16:33] <shivaya> i was thinking the root disk actually 
[16:34] <shivaya> even the interactive mode of cloud-init did not want to let me create root md raid disk 
[16:34] <ahasenack> I don't know if that's possible, cloud-init might be too late for that
[16:35] <shivaya> ah i was afraid of that. let me check with the #cloud-init folks. thanks for the pointer! 
[19:09] <radix0> I know this is a bit old school - but are there any recent guides out there for setting up an SNMP (v3) agent on ubuntu server? I just want simple monitoring like network card usage/volumes/ram/cpu/etc
[19:14] <tomreyn> i think the software you'd use for this prupose hasn't changed, nor how you'd set it up.
[19:15] <tomreyn> you'll need snmpd, potentially a lot of terrible mib juggling, and a way to provide the data for its oids
[19:15] <radix0> For clarificaton - I've never done this on linux. 
[19:15] <sarnold> yeah, snmp stuff feels pretty old and steady by now; all the energy and change is in prometheus / grafana / kinds of things
[19:15] <shivaya> hey folks, i chit-chatted with cloud-init folks and learned that subiquity yamls are not necessarily cloud-init like the docs imply. that being said, does anyone know if it's possible to create md raid root disk with the subiquty and have it have EFI partition? i can't seem to figure it out
[19:16] <sarnold> radix0: I think snmpd is the thing to install on servers, snmp on the clients ..
[19:17] <ravage> shivaya, maybe https://www.molnar-peter.hu/en/ubuntu-jammy-netinstall-pxe.html helps 
[19:17] <sarnold> radix0: is it *snmp* you want or monitoring you want?
[19:17] <tomreyn> radix0: this (despite being for arch linux) has the very basics https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/snmpd
[19:18] <radix0> sarnold, I specifically mean the SNMP agent - as in, the daemon that listens for inbound connections
[19:18] <radix0> I should have known to use the arch wiki. that will probably work
[19:19] <shivaya> ah this looks great, thanks ravage!! 
[19:20] <sarnold> yeah, arch wiki is great :D
[19:20] <tomreyn> radix0: https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/snmpd is the net-snmp agent
[19:21] <tomreyn> snmptrapd is an optional add-on if you want traps
[19:21] <radix0> nah I think traps are overkill, thanks for the guidance!
[19:22] <tomreyn> ok, now i just need to think of some wildflower meadows for some minutes, to forget about snmp
[19:23] <radix0> I know all the cool kids are re-inventing the wheel but I still have a soft spot for SNMP. :-)
[19:27] <tomreyn> wait, snmp is a wheel, i was thinking it was quadrangular? but then, the old pharisees also got their work done *somehow*
[19:34] <radix0> but how *were* the pyramids built?
[19:34] <radix0> aliens of the gaps
[19:42] <tomreyn> certainly the same alien technology
