More about Hyperic HQ

Hyperic is quite nice.  Have a look at this built-in that can alert and graph commits per second.

 

 

 

Life At Hi5

So far so good. On the right you'll find a leftover from the previous occupant of my space. It's been over 2 years since my last job change, so I forgot about how much work it is to get integrated into a new environment.  Adding 30+ IM contacts, updating the address book, setting up the laptop, getting e-mail just so, etc. 

Adding to that is jumping into a very different environment.  There's lots to like and lots to learn.  So far I'm getting up to speed on:

  • Perforce (instead of subversion, cvs, etc.) -- looks powerful and clunky at the same time.
  • Jira - this is very cool.  It combines bug tracking, agile sprints, and a wiki all in one.  It's mediawiki, trac, RT, and FogBugz all in one.
  • SuSE SLES 9 - With the infamous ReiserFS filesystem.  Give me yum over YaST anyday...
  • Hyperic HQ - Nagios+Cacti+much more.  Includes autodiscovery and can automatically restart services when they fail.  So very nice.
  • Zeus as a frontend to redundant memcaches.
  • Java Resin/JSP/JDBC/Eclipse/...  less said the better.


There's lots more going on here than you'd think.  A bit strapped for time at the moment -- will blog more soon...
