I like your optimism but even in centrally managed systems people won't upgrade.
I've been harassing other employees to move away from our old Prometheus instance to our new one and it's been a real uphill battle. The only work is (1) copy over the alerts they want to keep to the new storage location. By copy, I mean literally copy. (2) Change the datasource pointer in grafana to the new prometheus location
- Godel_unicode 5y agoCounterpoint, basically everyone who runs them runs up-to-date Chrome and iOS. This is more an argument that some centralized systems are poorly (or perhaps weakly?) managed. Could you not copy their alerts and use DNS aliases and/or load-balancing to migrate them?
- Plasmoid 5y agoWe're trying to slowly reduce the amount of technical debt we've built up. It's not a naive copy and paste for us, since it's possible they've done silly things, but for teams they will understand what the alerts are for. That said, I've had teams forget they had alerts at all or outright deny they owned alerts on their service.
