@wh33zle For work, well, i have to follow already-established convention (some that others have noted). but for personal machines, i have not rolled out too many comprehensive monitoring solutions or platforms. Rather, i add focus on moitoring specific jobs/tasks, and as such leverage cron to run the job, and use basic, old school sorts of bash scripts to assess success or failure. I'm statrting to look into leveragin more systemd as you noted. Now, specific to alerting, well, i have rolled out my own solution...Caution: self-promotion coming next... I stopped relying on email being sent from servers since i've had too many annoyances, constraints in my history. Also, nowadays email is a medium that is slow for me...that is, i treat it like its non-time-sensitive3 messaging (for the majortiy of the time). So, for system alert-style messagings, I use my own little python script that sends messages into a dedicated matrix room. Since, i'm always on matrix, its a place where i can quickly see a new system alert messaage (matrix clients like Element allow you to adjust visibility - i think they call it noise level - of which messages are given higher or lower priority for the client vieew, etc.). And, those messages tend to be ephemeral, since they're just alerts, and such messages do not pollute my email inbox. There are plenty of options in this space of course. Mine is not the only one, but i also wanted to learn how to make apps for matrix ecosystem, etc. Here's a link to my little notification app/script that leverages the matrix network chat ecosystem: https://github.com/mxuribe/howler |
