>> "They pretend to pay and we pretend to work" I have a monitoring instance which monitors a couple of URLs of some client. Every now and then something is wrong somewhere and it's spams the messenger with 'not available'. In a minute it spams again, now with 'Resolved' status. I can just turn the trigger time to two minutes or change it to trigger only after a two/three consecutive failed checks... But should I? Not only it wouldn't change how much I receive for this service (a pint of Guinness/mo, really), but it also would make it look like the monitoring isn't monitoring. I don't want to make proofs what it's actually working. Bonus point: if I receive the alerts I know what the monitoring works. And to the TFA: I made a proper VPN network for a client a decade ago: a VPN concentrator, dual path through two ISPs to the main office with the on-premise services, 15+ branches in the city, a couple of remote ones. Except I didn't buy Cisco gear, but some, ugh, not quite enterprise gear running FOSS solutions. Did I got anything from it? OFC no.
