Looked at it a while ago, interesting technology but no clue where it would make sense to use.

I think Landscape does this plus a lot more. I think it's free for 10 physical and 10 virtual machines, but I don't know the cost after that.

There are some Juju charms that you can create a Landscape setup with pretty easily.

@scottalanmiller I have avoided bad updates by waiting a week or two and googling the updates that show in my WSUS. If I worked with a team of people who only did help desk, I would be more willing to take the leap. That being said, I do have critical updates set to automatically download and install for all clients. Servers I do regularly and manually. Critical updates appear less often and are fewer in numbers compared with other updates that seem to cause the problems.

Graylog has updated and no longer relies on the old version of ElasticSearch. It will use ElasticSearch 2 now. So time to revisit.

I've been following this (but not closely) as I actually like the .NET world quite a bit (not including VB) and hope to see MS succeed in this. At the moment Mono has been bought and internalized by MS but sadly, Mono is still has .NET is being supported on Linux. The plan is for a full port of the "real" .NET framework to make it over, but the Ximinan Mono code is what is handling it at the moment.

Getting C# and F# on Linux and other OSes would rock.

I've heard that Mono is working decently well these days, and MS is really trying hard to get it working well.

Do you think this inclusion is worth a legal battle should one ensue?

Hard to say, it's a marketing ploy. How much it convinces people based on the Cult of ZFS thing, is unknown. ZFS has a quite religious following, no real technical reason to exist on Linux, so Canonical's play here is to attract that crowd. Whether it is worth it or not, hard to say.

That's a standard systemctl cannot start message. And it is just telling you that you need to tail /var/log/messages to see what the error was.

So... I went through and ran the script and it seems to have worked fine... What next?

Edit: To collect logs from the local server, I also had to install filebeat on this server. So I reckon I can now go and install it on all my other systems as well.

Yes, install Filebeat and point it to ELK. Check my Filebeat article for more info.

Didn't realize you had one. 8-) But I'm good now. Logs are collecting as we speak. Bonus: Fail2Ban and Apache logs also work great in ELK.

I am also checking https://www.graylog.org/ as this seems to be pretty famous and looks like a good alternative to ELK if anyone else looking at it.

Graylog is built on the same foundation as ELK. They are both log ingesting and interfaces applied on top of Elasticsearch.

Have you tried Graylog?

No, on my long list of things to build.

Scratch that... I was able to figure it out.

The configuration that you posted by default denies everything but SSH.

Thanks!

Correct 🙂

It's not bad, I use one liners all the time, and that's a very simple one liner. Linux culture is to use a string of separate commands instead of one that does everything.
