  Upgraded @debian , which upgraded #MariaDB to 11.8. Noticed daily mysqldump runs into warnings. Attempt to fix led yet to another error, caused by an old config snippet from #Znuny. Analysis and fix in the latest #blog post. https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/blog/1530/mysql-upgrade-unknown-variable-max-allowed-packet-znuny-config

  The RabbitMQ queue monitoring broke - because there were no queues. Sounds weird? It kind of is. The #Perl script, which I've been using for #RabbitMQ monitoring for a very long time, checks for queues and their current values. But when a RabbitMQ server returned no queues at all, this #monitoring plugin just showed a weird (division by zero) error. https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/blog/1531/monitoring-rabbitmq-queues-handle-no-queue-situation

  check_smart 6.18.0 is out! The newest release fixes a bug in the execution in the plugin's background, where the PATH definition was missing for the sudo command. To my current knowledge only #FreeBSD (or other #BSD) users might have run into that bug. There's an important enhancement for servers running with #NVME drives, too. The plugin should now detect and alert on input/output errors. https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/blog/1532/check-smart-6.18.0-sudo-command-path-fix-nv...

  After running #PowerDNS for several years, it took until today, that I saw a completely new alert in our #monitoring. The alert from the monitoring plugin told us about a "mandatory upgrade". In my latest #blog post I got to the bottom of it: Where this information comes from and why this alert happened today. https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/blog/1533/powerdns-monitoring-security-release

  And because we can barely catch our breath anymore with yet another #Kernel #vulnerability, we just published our internal #Ansible playbook to mitigate against #copyfail and #dirtyfrag . https://github.com/infiniroot/ansible-mitigate-copyfail-dirtyfrag

  A new version of check_smart, a #monitoring plugin to monitor hard drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD) and NVMe drives, is available. The newest release, 6.18.2, is a bugfix release and fixes a regression introduced in 6.18.1. Using symbolic links as device path - for example in /dev/disk/by-id/ - were broken. https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/blog/1537/regression-fix-check-smart-monitoring-plugin
