Most get ignored. One came in this week that annoyed me, since it was from someone at a company that had sent me the exact same email six [...]]]></description>

In some amount of our professional lives, we are tasked with bringing order to chaos, keep systems running and have the businesses we work for continue functioning. In our modern days of large-scale computing, web [...]]]></description>

This SaaS solution, while a paid service, allows a team to get their monitoring metrics put into [...]]]></description>

A lot of tools I like to use are from the Linux world, command line and peppered with dependencies. A lot of Linux distributions have package management systems, like RedHat/Fedora/CentOS [...]]]></description>

After you&#8217;ve been chatting with people for more than a year,  and are friendly with them, you tend to derail the technical conversation into weirdness. Here&#8217;s the tail-end of one such conversation that I had this morning. I have no idea where this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back I wrote about using Nagios as a monitoring system. Since then, I&#8217;ve had need to have it deployed via a packaging system called RPM, and since no &#8220;stable&#8221; community editions are out there, I have the need to &#8220;roll my own&#8221; for distribution on our platforms. I&#8217;ve never used RPM from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back, we began investigating centralized monitoring tools for multiple systems, cross-platform, alerting, etc. One contender was a package from MS, and a few others were tossed in the ring. We did a proper match-up (or shootout, as I prefer) and tested a couple of candidates. While the all-inclusive MS offering is probably the [...]]]></description>
