Can I use Sodium to monitor VPS?
-
@aaronstuder Could be, I'll check. But why would it check in for a few times and then stop? Wouldn't the firewall rules keep it from checking in at all?
-
VPS are transparent on a network. So anything like this will work there the same as if it is not a VPS.

I'm curious to know they checked in but haven't been seen since Dec 13/14 then.

Adding @Sodium @QuixoticJeremy

Just checked my two Linode hosts and they haven't checked in since 3/7 both around 1:30p

Interesting, I know there was an issue before but now it should work.

It’s Linux. Often that simple.

You may also want to make sure it starts at boot...
systemctl enable salt-minion -
We should know for sure if it worked in nine minutes.

Okay. Hmmm.
First what does /etc/salt/minion contain?
My guess is an update was run and blew away the config. Some OSes mess with it relentlessly.
