What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Well.... it's a Monday alright.
-
Sure is.
-
Major Rackspace outages coming tomorrow night. No sleep for me.
-
Watching PluralSight while I eat my lunch.
-
It's lunchtime already? Shit. I should probably attempt to do something productive soon.
-
I'm trying to figure out why I destroyed the loggly storage maximum in our first weekend... I really don't have that many servers.

It's rarely the volume of servers, it's what they are logging. We had one do this to us, it was being brute forced. The volume issues is what led us to the fix.
But if you are running windows servers, they log like crazy by default and will use up the volume with just two or three servers. If you have well tuned Linux, you might get twenty.

Yep, I noticed the linux servers are logging almost nothing... Where as I got ~1,000,000 logs both Saturday and Sunday from the three windows servers I setup to test.

Yeah, that's a bit much

Thats a lot.Tell me about it.... Looks like it was logging ever time nxlog sends info to Loggly, or anytime SW accesses one of those servers... which ends up being a significant amount. I must have configured something incorrectly.
-
@coliver "Oh no worries bro, we saw that you logged something so we logged a log of your log!"
hehehe
-
-
Haha... those are great... now to figure out how to fix it. Once I resolve the issues does Loggly generally start logging again?
-
Yes, Loggly will start up as soon as you are not over capacity. So, likely, tomorrow.
-
Loggly logs your capacity for the day. So if you are on a free tier, it logs the first 200MB every day then stops. Every morning you'll get the first 200MB again.

Hey!! Good morning people.. I'm doing good now and preparing going to work. Thanks to Vodka last night.

Vodka makes everything better

Day is done here. Off to get a nap and then hopefully watch some tv.
-
Lots of day left here. @Dominica is running to Subway to pick up dinner. The kids are downstairs watching Alice in Wonderland right now.
