Silence the Pager: Building Bulletproof Infrastructure Monitoring on KVM (2014 Edition)

Stop relying on complaints to detect downtime. A battle-hardened guide to scaling monitoring with Graphite, Collectd, and KVM isolation in the Norwegian hosting landscape.

Beyond Nagios: Why "Up" Doesn't Mean "Working" in High-Load Environments

Your monitoring dashboard shows all green, but users are timing out. In this deep dive, we explore the gap between basic uptime monitoring and true system visibility using Graphite, Logstash, and system-level profiling.

Stop Guessing: A Sysadmin’s Guide to Monitoring High-Load Infrastructure in 2013

Reactive monitoring kills uptime. Learn how to architect a proactive monitoring stack using Nagios and Zabbix, manage I/O bottlenecks on CentOS, and why data sovereignty in Norway is no longer optional.

Surviving the Spike: Real-Time Infrastructure Monitoring when "Up" isn't Good Enough

Nagios tells you when the server is dead. Graphite tells you why it's dying. A battle-hardened guide to monitoring high-traffic infrastructure in Norway without drowning in false positives.

Stop Relying on Ping: Moving From "Status Green" to Deep Instrumentation in 2013

Why your Nagios dashboard is lying to you about performance. A deep dive into transitioning from binary monitoring to time-series metrics with Graphite, Collectd, and proper KVM isolation.

Beyond Green Lights: Why Standard Monitoring Fails High-Performance Systems

Nagios says your server is 'OK', but your users are timing out. In this deep dive, we explore the shift from basic monitoring to deep system instrumentation (observability) using 2013's best tools like Graphite, StatsD, and raw Linux utilities.

Stop Letting Nagios Kill Your Sleep: Scaling Infrastructure Monitoring in 2013

Is your monitoring system generating more I/O than your actual application? We dive deep into migrating from check-based polling to metric-based streams using Graphite and Collectd on KVM architectures.

Scaling Infrastructure Monitoring: Surviving the I/O Bottleneck with Graphite and KVM

Is your Nagios server generating more I/O wait than your actual database? We dissect the architecture of scalable monitoring in 2013, moving from polling to pushing with Graphite, and why underlying hardware integrity is non-negotiable for Norwegian systems.

Stop Trusting "Up": The Reality of Infrastructure Monitoring in 2013

A green light in Nagios doesn't mean your server isn't melting. We analyze 'Steal Time', disk latency, and why KVM architecture beats OpenVZ for reliable metrics in the Norwegian hosting market.

Server Log Analysis: Mastering AWStats on CentOS 6 for High-Traffic Nodes

Stop relying solely on client-side JS trackers. Learn to configure AWStats for granular server-side analytics, optimize log rotation on CentOS 6, and ensure compliance with Norwegian data laws without killing your Disk I/O.
