July 13-17 was a week of introductions. From personal to serial, new and nifty – Systems Engineering, MySQL, Nagios and Macs were all in there.
Michael introduced us to his new find: Maatkit, a collection of handy tools to make working with MySQL easier and safer. From replication monitoring for installations of all sizes to database dumps with multiple tables in parallel, Maatkit was Michael’s tip for all busy MySQL buffs.
Stepping into the spotlight, Martin S shared a little on his life as our Systems Engineer- running between internal systems duties and servicing the managed services at our data center.
Reliably there, Julian kicked off a new blog series on Nagios Notifications – to get alerts faster, through better channels and improve in accuracy. He started with Growl for Macs, running through a quick installation and configuration how-to. Next week, he’ll unveil the fastest and simplest way to send SMS alerts. Hang in there!
