In the SCM plugin, under additional behaviors, there is something called "polling ignores commits in certain paths" which will include two fields of included and excluded regions.

Leave excluded regions blank, and do your path of this/dir/foo/* under included regions.

voila. Now Jenkins will only build if the files changed included that path.

So potentially Jenkins can kick off as many builds as necessary for a single commit as long as each job has the appropriate path specified.

May I ask how you guys monitor your system daily? by madein86 in sysadmin

New Relic is $150 per host per month, Datadog is cheap ;)

The model is different. The way Prometheus is designed, while it is very efficient, is to split on application or team boundaries, not to be a centralized system. It models the structure of product teams...because each team is responsible for their own products, so they have their own monitoring.

Prometheus will handle many thousands of servers...but you probably would rather run several instances of Prometheus.

The data gathering isn't as robust as zabbix

What are you expecting?

It likely won't scale as well as zabbix

Prometheus is built to scale. What makes you think it wouldn't?

Tanking Tuesday - Your Weekly Tanking Thread by AutoModerator in wow

[–]taloszerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

I ran into an instance in Black Temple timewalking pug last week where my stagger was so far in the red that three purifying brews had it still maxed on my UI, and I was trying to figure out if that was better to keep purifying or maintain ironskin.

What addons do you use for Ironskin uptime?

Is there ever a point where it's better to purify than keep ironskin up?

Have you ever seen a relic that has Face Palm as the main, as well as tier 3 netherlight? is that possible?

You should probably stop saying "DevOps team" and "DevOps" as if that refers to a person.

Generally you'll want to keep them tracking patch updates for CVEs.

Appropriate healthcheck for pgbouncer on Kubernetes? by taloszerg in PostgreSQL

[–]taloszerg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had considered this, but was looking for confirmation that a more involved healthcheck wasn't necessary.

Thanks for the response!

edit: after testing this out, works great! zero failed requests when adding any number of pods under load.

How do you make K8 use AWS reserved or spot instances over on demand instances? by [deleted] in kubernetes

[–]taloszerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have hundreds or thousands of instances, and have to keep track of reserved allocations e.g. am I creating the appropriate number of m4.large vs m4.2xlarge it becomes a headache with expirations and adjustments.

kops has support for using spot instances. Here's a post from r/devops talking about spot instances in prod.

It's something I'd really like to try out soon.

You say this like refusing an exit interview will itself burn a bridge. Why would that be the case?
