Nice Icinga blog post about the Icinga setup at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), where Linuxfabrik handled the initial deployment and the Linuxfabrik Monitoring Plugins are in use.
The Linuxfabrik Monitoring Plugins integrate LibreNMS into Icinga: when LibreNMS raises an alert, Icinga picks it up.
No matter how modern and redundant the data centre: in addition to the host's backups, customers should always run their own offsite backups.
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) recommends a partitioning scheme for RHEL and compatible distributions, with several directories like /home, /tmp, /var and /var/log on their own partitions. Using the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) keeps the administrative effort for later resizing manageable.
