A wise man once said "You can't know what's wrong if you never knew what right looks like". That was me. Keeping a watchful eye on your servers and network gear is quite a challenge, but where do you even begin? Today, I'm going to show you how to setup Observium to monitor and log activity for any device on your network. Best of all, its 100% free.
But first... What am I drinking???
From Big Ditch Brewing (NY) comes... a beer that tastes like beer in the form of A Beer That Tastes Like Beer. It's definitely a beer, and it tastes like a beer, but I'm not sure if it's the beer-like beer they were going for.
