   It's cool that Unity has built in #GNULinux support. It's not like I have time to write a game though. It's been three month since I've worked on !p4 !nagios: https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/projects/perforce_software-p4nagios/files/main#commits (I bet p4 is not actually an alias for !vcs)

   "oh, !Nagios has that documentation"
   
   Only for CentOS/RHEL
   
   Whomp, whomp.

   Anybody got a list of !monitoring tools that support #nrpe? I'd like to list them all in the poorly named P4Nagios. !vcs

   !monitoring makes a lot more sense than using #nrpe as an alias, so yay!

   What do people in !nagios (I can't remember if I aliased !monitoring) know about #Prometheus?

   I still have !nagios tagged on the personal site because that's what I know. I'm not sure I've ever seen an icinga install. I suppose I should correct at least that last portion.

   even though already works with !icinga, would be hilarious if someone forked https://github.com/douglasawh/p4nagios/ and renamed it.

     tempted to do it myself, but I don't want to have to maintain it. I'm already maintaining three separate versions.

   I suspect the answer is no, but has anyone replicated jobs from Helix Swarm to github? I'd like to do that: https://github.com/douglasawh/p4nagios/issues/1
   
   !vcs !nagios

      @musicman @lnxw48a1 That takes courage to step away from those things. LMK if you need help with the programming foo.

      thanks! The year and a half at !nagios just killed me as far as time. I keep realizing how big of a hole a dug myself. Once you get to where you can't see the sun, it's hard to tell. It's been 3.5 months now and while the whole isn't getting any deeper, it doesn't feel like I'm getting any closer to the surface.

      maybe the simplest answer is just "no". Deep down, I knew it at the time.

      @blp @musicman It's redundant at best, contradictory at worst. They should get rid of it.

      I don't remember any such magic from law school. This sentiment likely stems from the US pre-Berne. The whole Berne thing is super-complex because the bill was in '76 if memory serves. Started in '78. We didn't "fully" go in until '88 (or '89), and really didn't go in until Golan v Holder...in 2012. And I think VARA was '94. What a complete and utter mess.

      The way Bradley Kuhn explained it to me when I was on the Johns Hopkins legal team was that the idea was that the All Rights Reserved applied to the copyright notice itself, but I still don't think that's the intent, since I don't think anyone would mind if they created a different license for a new project. Really, what's needed is a definition of the license, and then you can reference it. I don't think the current text is ambiguous, but I think that would be best practice to eliminate the doubt.

      scaling is certainly a major selling point. Also, we handle binary files very well. That's a major reason we are big in the gaming industry. I don't have a ton of vcs experience, so it's hard for me to compare. We used gitlab and github both when I was at !nagios, but mostly I was just filing or commenting on bugs, or just digging through the source to figure out what was actually happening to solve a customer issue. I wasn't maintaining any branches, so it's hard for me to compare. I wouldn't say it's really a github competitor, but we have a github-like thing if you want to give it a whirl: https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/
      
      It uses gravatar...no way to just upload an avatar, which I think is bizarre, but they didn't ask me as I just started on Feb 12 (I think I mentioned that in my previous post, but just looking at the replies page as I type)...maybe I'll file a feature request

      oh, to be clear, that's in our Workshop that only uses gravatar. I'm not sure about the Swarm product more generally.

      and if you are asking about the company itself, well, there have been a lot of acquisitions: both us acquiring and us being acquired. We're not as loose on our support contracts as we were, but we still have the forums where anyone can get free support. There are some techs assigned to the forums to make sure answers are legit and to make sure people know we do care about the forums being viable.

    I'm a bit torn. I've known Tarus at #OpenNMS for years (note the OpenNMS office locations), and I'd like to work there once my non-compete is over. However, my !nagios knowledge is clearly strong and I could be an asset to that community (in as much as there is one).
    
    The thought literally crossed my mind of having some sort of Minnesota Nagios User Group meetup. Am I fucking insane? I have more than enough going on.
    
    Anyway...yeah, I think it'd be good to keep my nagios skills up. OpenNMS uses SNMP, WMI and NRPE, and a variety of things Nagios uses so maybe just keep those skills sharp.
    
    Honestly, stuff not showing up on datamost is a pretty good monitoring system to see whether the cats unplugged the server, and that's the only thing I use the server for, but I guess occasionally a check_http is useful. I used it for finding out when Alinea tickets went on sale, for example. Maybe I'll set up both, because wtf, why not?
    
    If I do say something about starting a meetup group, someone please fly here, punch me, and take the money for the flight. It will have been worth it.

    Anybody around here know about #mod_gearman? It's used in several non-nagios products....although I guess that's true about most everything we use...

      I've never heard of it. Is it a webserver module, like "mod_rewrite" and so on?
