Getting More Into Python

I am moving on from BASH and to python with a lot of my scripts.

There are a few cool things I want to do like communicate with different API’s out there.

Got a way to record my weight into a databases and sending an email.

Another thing I did was binge watch Star Trek Picard Season 3. I felt like it was easier to watch than Mandalorian.

Anyway, should finish by midnight.

Sleep finally caught up with me. Went in to office for work, hit the gym, then came home went to range.

Got home and was super tired. Slept from 5 to 8.

Anyway feel better not, but day feels shot, but got a lot done.

Hoping to get some good sleep tonight.

Also I did get nagios to log both hosts and services events to a mysql database.

Nagios, Grafana and Mysql

This morning I had an aha moment. I was trying to figure out how to get Grafana to display the nagios status. Then it dawned on me, I should just use an event handler and write things to a database and display it with grafana. Lo and behold

In the intro section for nagios and event handlers.

In addition, I been working on getting time series data. Initially I am working with my ESXi data stores to see if I can track usage.

There is a lot to learn.

Starting my ESXi server #2 buildout. Going to do the standard memory check. If it works, I am going to mostly build stuff new on this host.

Went to physical therapist today, I am on the mend.

Slowly Working Back

I hit 8000 steps and 10 floors today, so I could make it to 12k, but it is such a drain on me.

I need some of my time back.

Been waking up cramping for the past week and a half, the only time I did not wake up cramping was the morning after I do do 12k.

I think it is a hydration issue.

Taxes Filed

Easy peasy.

Taxes are actually due on the 18th, but I got it done today.

Son ran a 5k today, he said it didn’t feel like a 5k. But regardless he was the first one to complete it. He ran it in 18 minutes.

On the other hand, I kind of just chilled.

Fighting DNS issues, cloudflared and DOH is not working for me.
