orbitals backend is getting big enough to warrant monitoring so i am investigating that sorta plumbing.
a trillion years ago, when i rode my triceratops to work at the rock smashing gravel pit (websense and then anonymizer) in like 2005, i was quite happy monitoring stuff with cacti. it did the job well and was pretty lightweight.
but now i see .. grafana and prometheus and elastic search and docker images for all those and .. just..
ugh.
do i have to invent the universe just for a graph?
