There was also a project called peep: the network auralizer (http://peep.sourceforge.net/intro.html http://peep.sourceforge.net/intro.html) which would transscribe server load, service events and network events into a natural soundscape like for example the ambiance of a forest with a small creek. Sometimes when load was high, it would rain. On crunchtime the rain turned into a thunderstorm.
The reasoning behind it was that the network crew could listen to the nice and calm ambient soundscape all day and would be able to detect when something was off.
Really would like to someone take up that idea once again and implement it as a monitoring plugin.
- jtwaleson 7y agoI've been playing around with this idea for a couple of years and have built some prototypes. This was mostly triggered by my experiences in running thousands of production servers. Just curious: in what kind of setting would you use it and would you pay for it?
- jsilence 7y agoWould love to use this for monitoring a small private VPS and a couple of SBCs spread in the house. Not sure whether I'd pay for a service tho. Would not like to have someone else get all the raw monitoring information. Self hosted would be better IMHO.
- jtwaleson 7y agoMakes sense, thanks!
