This week, our #SysAdmin syllabus covers backups and restores, including use of dump(8), #rsync, and flux-capacitors (e.g., ZFS snapshots, Apple TimeMachine, NetApp's WAFL). We also were supposed to talk about #syslog and monitoring, but honestly, chances are we'll spend most of our time on the #xz#backdoor.
Thanks @Graylog for reminding me that I forgot to update the default route on my Grafana server. Centralizing #syslog can be a little too much to handle some days, but other days, you realize you really should.
To all you #devops and #sysadmin folks out there - what would you recommend for a centralized #monitoring and #logging solution? I am using a central #syslog-ng service with a #postgresql backend these days. But I am looking for a more sophisticated setup. Preferrably something that can be #selfhosted
If you can point me to some more resources, that would be great. The Internet suggests a whole bunch of different rabbit holes. I want to understand, how companies actually manage their log and monitoring stack without outsourcing to a 3rd party.
