Monitoring-Plugin check_system_basics: Erstes Release!

Für das Basis-Monitoring von Linux-Maschinen existieren viele Plugins im Monitoring-Universum. Grundlegende Änderungen an den zugrunde liegenden Schnittstellen sind eher selten, da viele Programme sehr langfristig darauf aufbauen. Deshalb erfüllen aktuelle Lösungen teilweise seit Jahrzehnten noch ihre Aufgabe. Nichtsdestotrotz gibt es gelegentlich neue Schnittstellen, etwa die “Pressure Stall Information”-Schnittstelle des Linux Kernels, die entweder als Ersatz für bisherige Ansätze dienen...

Day two of the OSMC 2023 started rather quiet, but with a interesting set of talks. The following is a summary and review of some talks I watched and was interested in.

Linux Monitoring mit Icinga – so löst du bekannte Probleme

Beim Betrieb von Computerinfrastrukturen treten früher oder später Probleme auf. Typischerweise schon bei der Einrichtung und später bei Änderungen, aber auch im “Normalbetrieb”.

A full program offers much input to the visitors and showcases the things people created or changed since the last OSMC. After the cordial greeting by Bernd, the talks started. A small selection of these I will mention here. On the bleeding edge of... "On the bleeding edge of Open Telemetry" was the topic of Philipp Krenns talk. The growing complexity of current...
