@stefano The true horror part of this story:
> The office was closed for the holidays, but I contacted the IT manager anyway. He was home sick with a serious family issue, but he got moving.
Home for the holidays, sick, serious family issue?? Who cares! You know what's more important?? Keeping that data center up and running!
Glory to sacrificing yourself for the system!!
Or maybe get someone else next time.
@stefano WTF equipment do they use for that, that normal Type 1+2 Overvoltage Protection (what I assume given for installations like this) don't help?
@stefano well that was a wild story, thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the read
nothing beats a heartbeat when it comes to monitoring
This is madness.
@stefano Way to go! I am glad you caught the situation before the criminals got what they wanted.
@stefano I'm upset this didn't turn into a story of how the police laid a trap.
Uptime Kuma is dope tho.
Damn you Stefano.
You just spoiled a future Netflix movie.
Instead of watching in 2027 : `The Power Surge Heist`... we will have `The Uptime` with Stefano as sysadmin.
Following you so i can keep up with all the movies i will be missing.
@stefano Good for you. If next time, you could solve your problems without involving people who are sick at home with a serious family issue on top, that would be great.
@stefano Have to integrate this story into the pitch for our monitoring service 馃榿
@stefano wow. Great example. 馃檹馃徎
@stefano hi, why havent you posted this into a common blog post?
@stefano knowledge to take out a security system: aquired
@stefano I wasn't aware of this kind of problems with internal monitoring and the importance of external monitoring. However, I think is more important to monitor the monitoring server or to have one heartbeat of the monitoring system (external or internal). Because the external monitoring system could also fail without being aware of it.
