Anyone heard of Prometheus?https://prometheus.io
No, but looks interesting. What have you looked into thus far?
My friend, works for a huge security agency in DC, said they were using it to monitor most of their infrastructure. Haven't really looked at it other then that. Thought someone here may find it interesting.

It would be interesting to know if this can monitor Windows as well.

Generally most tools can monitor Windows (because of the lack of security)

I'm considering getting half a cow. . . The price per pound is $3.95 . . . Not sure if I have enough freeze room. . .
I take delivery on 1/2 a cow this week. Around 65 lbs. But I will can most of it not freeze it.
You're only getting 65 lbs of meat from half a cow? Wow, tinny cow, even without growth hormones.

I doubt it. It looks more like application monitoring then anything else.

I am really only taking 1/4ish of it. I do have to pay for the full half however.

Pay for the meat, or processing of it? It sounds like you're getting ripped off if you're paying for half the cow + processing and only getting 1/4 of the cow.

Ah, 130lbs sounds about right after processing, that makes more sense. Wondered if you secretly enjoyed veal for a minute

Reading this thread. Hoping people actually do switch to Linux over this. What actually happens remains to be seen.

They won't. Hardware vendors are going to build servers to accommodate this licensing so very few people will actually realize it.

I agreed to half a cow long ago but decided I didn't want all the meat. They will donate the rest to someone in need. So not getting ripped off.

I've already seen a shift of local businesses that I know of who heard of this change a while back, and have started to move away from Microsoft products.
The Microsoft tax is a literal nothing in overall terms, but the CALs + the tax are what bothers most people.
And the whole thing about "you might pay more to license the new OS if you utilize high-density, multi-core processors. "
Well who is honestly purchasing servers today with 8 or less physical cores? My lab has more cores than that, and the server is from 2009!

You are getting ripped off. Hugely! - I grew up with this stuff. Typically, from a full grown animal, you'll get 440 LBS of freezer ready beef. (220 lbs for half, 110 lbs for 1/4) - From this, about half will be ground beef, and the rest in cuts such as roasts, steaks, ribs, brisket, and tenderloin.
Here's about how much freezer space is required for 1/4 cow:
http://www.clovermeadowsbeef.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/quarter-cow.jpg
Processing charges vary, but generally about $0.50/pound hanging weight, or about $475 total for the average cow (700lbs hanging weight + kill charge)
If you're only getting approximately 65lbs and still have to pay the processing for 1/2 cow, you're likely paying more than store prices for the same beef.
Just sayin'

That thread said there was a two processor minimum. But when I was reading the licensing do use an example of a 2 x 8 processor system but no where did I see it specifically say you had to license to processors if you only have one

Correct, you don't have to license two processors, but they only sell a 2 processor license.
So if you have a server with a single processor and want 2016, you are still paying for that second CPU.

All the stuff I've read said licensing is the number of cores was all that mattered.

No they sell 2-core packs

We had a thread a few weeks ago about this didn't we? From the licensing terms it read that it was 2x8 core processors. Or 16 cores total per license. So if you have a 16 core processor that would still be covered under one license.

Well at least the food is going to a shelter or something.
I hope they aren't just going to consume it themselves, but actually provide it to a shelter or food bank.
