Outages are some of the things that we try to avoid but they're inevitable: they happen (very rarely, we hope) and we have to know how to deal with them (and learn from them).
So, what's the major outage you've been part of? How did you and your team deal with the problem? What have you learned for the future? Please share your thoughts :)
Reconnoiter is a new tool in the world of monitoring. It is not only a trending tool but also an alerting/fault detection one. IMHO, I reckon that it's in the trending capacities that Reconnoiter has a very huge potential.
One of the premises Recoinnoter is built upon is that RRDTool large installations are very inneficient regarding I/O usage and I think this is RRDTool major problem.
One of the things that can difficult the change from the traditional RRDTool frontends to Reconnoiter is, obviously, the cost of change and the learning curve.
So, any of you has experience with Reconnoiter? How's the learning curve? Was it difficult to move from RRDTool frontend applications (Cacti, Munin, Ganglia) to Reconnoiter? I'm looking forward to read your opinions.
