me, an hour ago: hm... I should look into server monitoring stuff

"so, you've got grafana for dashboards but that needs to talk to prometheus or loki or munin or something else and that talks to something or another and then there's a query language that's different for each thing and you have your data sources..."

me: I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF MACHINE THAT GOES BRRR IS STILL GOING BRRR

@troubleMoney mavica had the thing that does the thing for this but we're busy being me at the moment and i'm just kitty

@m1st ah cool, I'll have to have a chat with it about that at some point

how is kitty today?

@troubleMoney very floaty fluxy-like

we're having A Plural Time

@m1st ah, well, I shall have to give lots of scritches *offers arms for octo-scritches*

@troubleMoney if not `ssh brrr@machine.com true`; then sendmail...

Maybe?

(This is not runnable code, just an idea)

@troubleMoney For brrr-checking I usually just use Icinga which already has checks for most use cases. To me, Grafana is more a tool for visualization of aggregated data which also happens to have an alerting feature.
