There isn't even a thread for every major bike race, don't know why we need one for every football tournament.

Haha. There are loooads of threads on the forum that I have no interest in. To go around ignoring them all would take all day. I only post in Football and House Music these days anyway.

Good point.

Velocio, can you merge this into football too please?

All you're football threads are damaging humanity.

So, it shouldn't harm you.

There are separate threads for Le Tour, Olympics, Track World Champs, World Championship

There's a thread for at least the last three Tours.

You'd start to think there might be cycling involved.

It's been some time since the Tour involved fixed gear or single-speed bicycles.

Just saying.

I agree with this.

Not merged.

Ok, in that case you can at least fix the punctuation in the title.

I tried and couldn't figure out why there was either an apostrophe or an s on Euro. So I removed both.

Has anyone done it since O'Grady in the 2005 Giro?

There are a hell of a lot of football tournaments.... that's before we go abroad...

"Eur" welcome, Oliver.

Fixed.

I'm in the process of puppet-ing the LFGSS servers, and part of that is selecting different (better) monitoring technology to prevent the kind of lock-ups I've been seeing.

Solarwinds has always been my favourite agentless option. You might have to sell a kidney though.

I was looking at munin, it's based on pulling to a master rather than an agent detecting an event and pushing the event. It's a bit primitive, but very effective for the scale we're currently at.

Have you had a look at Cacti and Nagios? Have never used them but I've been told they are fairly good at what they do.

Nagios is a bugger to scale up. That said, it's a known bugger.

I use nagios, munin, and zabbix on a daily basis. All have their strengths and weaknesses, but in the end we are moving towards unifying everything on zabbix, as it's probably takes the bets bits of the other two products.

What are the odds of that happening?

The problem with Zabbix is that when I go to their site, it looks "Enterprisey", and in fact they even say "Enterprise" at the top of the page.

I come out in rashes when I start dealing with any product that is for the "Enterprise".

more of a babylon 5 type geek?

I thought DS9 was ace.

You have DS9 Tom?

DS9: somebody took a look at Babylon 5 and thought "What this really needs is a Wesley Crusher or a Neelix."

^added to ignore.

I've got all of DS9 and ahem Voyager lying around. Because I thought I'd been unfair on Voyager the first time around.

Turns out I hadn't.

Seven of nine.
