Monitoring ⁽⁵⁾

This article is the third in a series on building an Infrastructure Architecture system. The previous two articles discussed the conceptual case for building such a system and explored functions and relationships in a High-Level design. This article, the first of many Low-Level designs, will…

Here is a simple snippet for timing file system performance. I wrote this as part of a script to detect an infrequent but recurrent error mode on a NAS that causes performance degradation. I run the script hourly from a Linux host with a CIFS…

In the first article in this series we discussed the Conceptual Design for an Infrastructure Architecture System. In this article we will extend upon the ideas discussed previously to create a High-Level design for such a system. The purpose of this High-Level Design is to…

This article is the first in a series that discusses the design, implementation and use of a free Infrastructure Architecture system to monitor, improve and automate your infrastructure. It records my experiences of building such systems for various clients. The aim of my Infrastructure Architecture…

As part of the TIG Stack, Telegraf is a great way of monitoring infrastructure and applications. However, monitoring environments where Telegraf is not available can be a challenge. Here is an alternative approach to monitoring using CURL instead of Telegraf that is suitable for use…
