You should!
You can monitor network switches and link usage (great for monitoring uplink ports)... which then leads you being able to build and see a live map of your network at a high level.
You can also monitor CPU Usage and Network Usage on Windows, Linux, and Mac systems. It really is quite powerful. I haven't done anything with it in a while though. I need to set mine back up again, lol.
Yeah really need to look deeper and read up on it more, another thing on the todo list

Well mine was getting shorter
but now growing again lolI wish... My list has two stages of growth:
Growing quickly, or
Growing Exponentially.Feels like everything is the latter lately. I feel like I have to move Heaven and Earth just to get the simplest things accomplished these days.

A hole in the basement floor that is setup as the low spot so that water drains to it, rather than just flooding the entire basement.

no, dont have that either.

@wrcombs said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Then you're going to have a difficult time keeping anything dry in that basement.... Sorry.
A sump pump will work to drain water that gets to it, but if the water is coming in from all corners and not being directed to a single point (a basin) then you'll likely have issues forever.

I've eliminated low points around the foundation and built them back up to drain away from the house. and moved the downspouts a little higher off the ground to allow more drop to the run off.
All things that I hope will keep water out.. -

All things that I hope will keep water out..That's a good start, but if you've got a basement, you need a sump pump. If the ground against the foundation is wet, you will have water seeping into the basement. Which is why every house in Ohio has a basin and sump pump. I've changed more pumps than I want to think about.

The house I grew up in had a collapsed line which caused our basement to flood. It was a walk UP basement - which didn't help.
Last two houses I have lived in were walk OUT - so it 'isn't' a problem. That said, when the hotwater tank splits... it's a problem, walk UP or walk OUT.
If you need a sump and sump pump, best to also have a battery backup for it. that way when the power fails in a storm, you still have some protection. Suggest dual circuit, UPS and generator....
