With Appflow you need to make sure you have authentication enabled for the users so it tracks per user. The Data Collection is for sure nice but it is only the top sites and no much information. https://www.sonicwall.com/support/knowledge-base/help-with-user-level-authentication-settings-like-local-users-ldap-radius/170503274714653/ https://www.sonicwall.com/support/knowledge-base/configuring-app-flow-monitor-to-view-real-time-incoming-and-outgoing-network-data/170505632951042/ https://www.sonicwall.com/support/knowledge-base/how-can-i-track-which-users-or-ip-addresses-are-accessing-a-certain-website-using-appflow/170505832815323/ https://www.sonicwall.com/support/knowledge-base/how-can-i-collect-traffic-details-by-ip-address-on-the-firewall-through-log-reports-and-appflow/170503950787011/

@Pete-S said in Service provider - monitoring questions: Thanks guys for your replies! I had a feeling that monitoring was "underutilized" compared to what is technically possible. But as always, it's the business needs and the effort (cost) that determines the service level. totally underutilized compared to what is possible. you are 100% spot on with that.

@JaredBusch said in Veyon.io Cross platform computer monitoring and classroom management: WTF is up with the use of the word "Sources" VatesFr does this as well with Xen Orchestra. It's dumb and makes no sense to an English speaker, as it's clearly wrong.

I've done both. I tend to like MariaDB / MySQL better because that is what I'm more comfy with.

@JaredBusch said in Zabbix Server Setup on Debian 9.0: @dbeato said in Zabbix Server Setup on Debian 9.0: Prior to doing anytighing if you are basing this on a Debian 9 NetInstall you need to install the following packages as root apt install ufw sudo -y Then setup the user in the sudo group sudo adduser username sudo Technically, you do this if you don't select certain packages during the installation. It has nothing to do with it being a NetInstall ISO or not. Technically, these packages are selected by default. I believe both sudo and ufw are part of standard system utilities. https://i.imgur.com/8CO2bH3.png Additionally ufw is not the firewall. That is iptables, but ufw is the simple way to activate and use iptables. Yes, netinstall has that option as below Figure 1 while though it does not install ufw and sudo on those standard utilities Figure 2 & 3 with the fresh install Figure 4 Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4

@hobbit666 said in Monitoring low level server hardware health: Might depend on the Server and what they have built in. Dell have the iDRAC that you can log onto and look at hardware logs. (Not sure if you can setup E-mail alerts been a while since i've used one) The new ones you can since version 7 I believe.

@coliver said in DIY: Cheap environmental probe: @thwr said in DIY: Cheap environmental probe: Not exactly - it's for all the DIY stuff im doing anyway. Bought it with a friend. A few friends and I were talking about doing this. I can highly recommend the Anycubic I3 Mega. I do have access to quite a few printers, incl. Ultimaker 2/3 Extended, BigReps and others. The Anycubic is outstanding given the price and at least compareable to the Ultimaker IMHO. Great results, good build quality, no open wires like other cheap printers.

https://i.imgur.com/nj3PBpF.png This is missing a few: Protected access for admin over all files & PC's, Visuals (graphs) , Easy to use interface. Here is what I have so far for important features outside of the standard. Do you guys see anything that is more important than another? Anything I'm missing completely? This list is not complied by priority, however it needs to be ( my Boss asked me to make a list) so any / all input would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, major changes since I last tested it! https://github.com/firehol/netdata/releases

Here's what the alerts look like in both alertmanager and prometheus:

We had a thread yesterday. Missed it. Been busy at work.

@fuznutz04 said in Digital Ocean adds free monitoring: Great! Now we know it will be coming soon to all the other providers. That's why competition is great ! I'd guess unlikely. Rackspace and Amazon have had this for years and it didn't spread. DO and Linode have load balancers, Vultr has firewall. They do different features and I've not seen too much rush to converge.

No, those pics are from SuperDoctor 5, It's a 1:1 free Server management tool https://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/SMS_SD5.cfm

Looks interesting... I won't lie, I did expect something akin to what the IE team used to send to the Mozilla devs on a new version release of Firefox.

@dafyre said in need help with Zabbix server: Could always start over and follow JB's guide. May be a bit easier. Not a bad idea. Have a solid baseline and know what the set up is.

Some useful logging here for my XenPool with HALizard.

@JaredBusch said: Netdata is getting draw over on the UBNT community too. http://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX/FEATURE-REQUEST-Netdata-support-for-Edgerouter-Edgemax/m-p/1524997#U1524997 nice

It is a very popular project.

@scottalanmiller said: Doesn't Ubiquiti have something for this? There was some vendor that I looked at in the last year that had nice options and now I cannot remember who it was. If I'm looking at $200 entry fee for just a networked temperature sensor, well, a Raspberri Pi with a $3 temp sensor and $.10 resistor looks real good. Knowing how Ubiquiti does things, they probably drop the DIY route off the cost curve. Yep, looked at B+H Looks like you can get a temp sensor on the network for ~$96, which you'd be at or over that price just for components of a DIY kit.

Fully Automated Nagios (FAN) is probably the easiest to set up and has Centreon for the graphical configuration. It works well but it hasn't had an update in a while so it's out of date some. Still works well. If you check out my projects on my profile over on SW you will see some screenshots of my install. Nagvis is the add-on that gives the cool maps I made.

@DustinB3403 said: Reading the below stats is a bit, awkward to say the least it shows the information, but it's not entirely clear in my opinion. XenCenter seems to graph the disk usage more accurately at the Hypervisor level. (shown below is XO showing the Hypervisor level) When you select a VM though you get something similar to below. Now I personally, don't care so much about an individual VM's disk performance, I care about the host. So for me using XenCenter provides a "better" explanation of what I'm reading. That's pretty cool. However keep in mind that in some cases, a single VM's disk performance can be hurting performance for the other VMs as well.

I have tested a few times, and it works great. This is a huge help and I don't have to worry about limits or trials. It's completely free.

I believe that Incinga has really picked up speed and is the more popular approach now. Just less to deal with.
