Hard Drive Checks

Posted on May 2, 2023 by larry

I have a monitor for all my physical Linux drives in nagios.

Pretty happy with it, I lost trust in smartd.

Looks like I need to figure out freenas and esxi next.

Went to gym and PT today. I need to manage my workouts better, get value out of the time in there.

  • SUN – YMCA/gym
  • MON – 12k step Walk
  • TUE – YMCA/gym
  • WED – YMCA/gym
  • THU – YMCA/gym
  • FRI – Rest
  • SAT – 12k step Walk

I think I can do it.

Tulip Festival 2023

Posted on April 30, 2023 by larry

Wow I did not know the last time we went to tulip festival was in 2019.

Overcast but glorious

Couple tips,

  • Get gas the day before
  • Order tickets only
  • If you are there at 10AM you will be ahead of the crowd
  • Get out by noon

Anyway on a serious note, I been playing with grafana and noticed a failing drive.

I am worried that smartd didn’t catch it. I am backing up as I post.

Python, Grafana, JSON, Nagios, and SQL

Posted on April 29, 2023 by larry

Got it all today, I figured a lot and combined all of those in the past few days.

I am finally able to use some python scripts, to process JSON files, to injest events data from nagios into a SQL server to produce nice flexible Grafana dashboards.

That is a lot of disciplines packed in.

Still no major workouts.

Also today was the funeral for my sister in law RIP Josie.

We were able receive a stream of her funeral over the Internet via RTSM and OBS to our big screen TV.

Adding Another Day of Rest

Posted on April 27, 2023 by larry

Sad day today, my sister in law passed away. My wife stayed home so did I.

I was packed and ready to go, but stayed home.

I did make huge progress in grafana.

SSL For Plex

Posted on April 25, 2023 by larry

Found out why my new install of plex was not using my pkcs12 file properly. I had to adjust the pkcs 12.

Here is the command to create the pkcs12 plex compatible file.

openssl pkcs12 -export -out your-cert.pfx
-certpbe AES-256-CBC -keypbe AES-256-CBC -macalg SHA256
-inkey your-cert.key -in your-cert.crt
-certfile your-cert-auth.crt
-password pass:PASSWORD_HERE

Another thing I realized was my winscp was outdated and would not connect to my newer Rocky 9 boxes.

Its all good though, tomorrow I need to start walking again.

Need To Get Back Out

Posted on April 24, 2023 by larry

Today wasn’t bad, I should start walking again. The momentum is certainly lost.

I need to recapture that focus I had last year. I have been working out but not at the intensity I should be at.

Anyway I at least I have been getting other stuff done.
