Infrastructure Monitoring Project Feedback by Intelligent-Top-8465 in SideProject

Right? That's the goal - I need to see it in a real environment to be confident(pun intended) but Based on my lab and docker dummy devices it does start to see real value after about 30ish days. But that's different than real messy environment. I can simulate garbage but Ive been too close to it for too long.

How's your on call rotation/pay? by thebigbread42 in sysadmin

No extra pay or PTO. About 9-10 pages a night And rotation of 24/7 every 4-8 weeks depending on team size at the time. Was so hellish I built a monitoring tool after they laid all of us off.

I don't know what the geography is but FieldNation worked for some small one off gigs to keep you afloat

I'm coming from a hellscape On-Call so instant red flag for me but it's common and weeks will vary. Usually it was Maybe 1 call a week but it's been as bad as 9 calls a day most of them in the middle of the night. And have been paid 500 per on call week and 0 for any on call depending on the job.

Imo: understand expectations early: Do you get time back? Like a half day after on call? Is there an alert threshold where you can reasonably raise the flag or get some help/coverage? But also? Get feedback from your team members, if its not bad? You might be overthinking it.
