Weekly Snap: Planning Poker, Plugin Problems & PuppetConf

24 – 28 September was another full week featuring Nagios plugins, Planning Poker, Chrome and three conferences.
In typical Monday tradition, Eva counted 23 days to the OSMC 2012 – this time with Jean Gabes’ presentation on Shinken.
Following on the monitoring theme, Dirk looked at the Nagios plugin development guidelines and the typical mistakes made when writing plugins.
Ronny then explained how to make the most of Chrome’s integrated Windows login while Alexander played Planning Poker.
On the conference circuit, Thomas offered his impressions from PuppetConf 2012 in San Francisco and Bernd shared a thank you note from the Debian Conference 2012 in Nicaragua we sponsored from afar.
Finally, Birger made his final preparations for his sabbatical in Sydney.

Weekly Snap: PuppetConf, Bacula-Web, EventDB & Check_Open_Problems Plugin

17-21 September covered all our usual topics, from sys admin and developer tips to monitoring tools and talks – with travels to North America thrown in.
As usual, Eva counted down 30 days to the OSMC 2012; this time with Ronny Trommer’s presentation on the status quo of OpenNMS.
Martin then recommended Bacula’s latest web GUI version 5.2.10 and Eric played with VirtualBox command line tools, opening guest applications from his host system.
While Bernd, Julian and Tom looked ahead to next week’s PuppetConf in San Franscisco, Vanessa already sent home happy snaps from her language course in Vancouver.
On the monitoring front, Markus introduced EventDB for event monitoring with Icinga and Thomas put together a new check_open_problems plugin, inspired by our customer Perdata. Both are available on our git.netways.org and Monitoring Exchange.
