The History of Open Source Monitoring
Looking back at 25 years of being woken up at night… Who remembers Big Brother? The red screen of hell that coined the term “alert fatigue”? Or Ganglia? We’ve seen a massive amount of open-source tools that improved our lives – some short-lived, some still around. We’ve seen forks and rewrites; some communities thrived, some were betrayed. This is a look back at all of them – and hopefully a chance to learn from our mistakes.
