As of today, all 39 production computers are sending critical failure 
messages to my email *and* via SMS to my cell phone. @Whee.

Or rather, they would, were they sending such messages. You know what I 
mean.

Nice. How much work did that involve?

I've spent the last 3 weeks setting up data transforms, reports and alerts
so that I can tell at a glance the current and historical performance
characteristcs of every database in my environment. Is almost done

Another name that's still around after all these years. Are you still 
Angbanding?

Nope. Don't have the time.

Wait until they start to fail ...
I cursed the day my company gave me a cell phone!
OTOH computers are patient.

Good Luck!

In fact I did NOT know what you meant - I thought you were complaining about
them constantly sending you failures!

Hmm, I don't get it. Is the milestone that you got all computers to send 
messages on failure, or that all computers had a critical failure at the 
same time? :)

Here's hoping they don't all go off at the same time. :-)

Keeping an eye on everything running is a fairly major subsystem of the 
network of machines. (We need machines physically in various cities for 
reasons I'm not yet allowed to describe.) But since I've done this kind 
of thing a couple times before (well, not to this scale, but...), I knew 
the basic setup we needed.

I was actually thinking about writing it up, in a sort of "how to design 
a mid-sized distributed management system" sort of way. Certainly 
nothing at a google or amazon level, but the sort of thing that a 
handful of people at a startup would like to know.
