I think his point is there are tradeoffs, and I agree. On top of that, meaningful debate over what tool should be about what context you're in. This applies to the OP's slidedeck. To give context about my comment about context: * was nagios setup before you started the job? * did you setup nagios yourself? * is your internal process for managing nagios broken? * culturally do you work at a place where ops is an afterthought? * if Nagios is your technical debt do you have a way out? are you crushed by other commitments? Maybe it's more of a management/culture issue. ... hmm actually I should stop. From re-reading your comment, I can't tell how much of it is trolling (in a entertaining Skip Bayless, right wing radio, Jim Cramer kind of way). |

Yup.
did you setup nagios yourself?
god, no.
is your internal process for managing nagios broken?
It was the best they knew after a dozen years of experience at other companies.
culturally do you work at a place where ops is an afterthought?
Nope. We had three people for 500 machines and two data centers.
if Nagios is your technical debt do you have a way out? are you crushed by other commitments? Maybe it's more of a management/culture issue.
It was "good enough" and nobody wanted to build out an alternative (or knew how to—the others were pure "sysadmin" people without programming backgrounds).
The problem: apathy. The solution: leave...after three and a half years.

Never trolling from this account, just unfocused anger with no other outlet. :)
