I miss the days when PG articles were actually worth reading, and not just spurious drivel from yet another person that hasn't been in touch with reality for decades.

3227 days, running RHEL 5, took a screenshot first, then powered it off a couple of months ago. Amazing what can lurk in big corp networks.

Using Prometheus in federated mode has been fine for me, I'm running it almost exactly as depicted in the article and I'm not sure why OP describes it as a complex on - you just need to have some idea of what metrics you'd like to store longer term.

Similar boat here, and know of many other companies in the same situation (although we chose Alma).

We thought we were on a good proven path of paying for support where we need it, and using the downstream alternatives when we didn't. Turns out we should have more seriously considered a move to Debian...

I'm not really shocked Red Hat are trying to squeeze more money out of their existing audience, everything they offer is eye-wateringly expensive nowadays. I almost choked when I got a quote back for the Ansible automation platform, before installing AWX for free.

Because they're just IBM with a hat on now.

Another irritating move from Red Hat, likely driven by their unhappiness with the popularity of Alma/Rocky instead of a mass migration to RHEL they had probably hoped for.

As the source is still available, but not publicly, could it be that these alternate flavours enter in to a license agreement with Red Hat that's community funded?

Thanks, I needed to feel this old on a Monday morning.

Unfortunately the developers of those particular things (often like ad developers) use obscurity of things like div names to make the task less trivial.

Previously we were using FortiManager to manage a cluster which has CSV export functionality, however for reasons too long to explain on HN, we no longer use FM and simply use FG directly. We occasionally provide policy and DNAT exports to customers and internal teams, so this script replaces what we used to have and allows for a bit of on-the-fly editing too.

See the comment by TheHemric, it's a bit more informed than you seem to be.

They could be giving it out for free, to be honest, I still wouldn't ever go back to using their services.

This article is garbage.

> So yeah, try feeling grounded with that. It's a miracle that it even works.

Just because something is too complicated for you to understand, doesn't mean it's no good. Is this guy going to decline machines/life support in hospital because he thinks he could build something simpler?

I self host some things, mainly websites, but trying to self host the amount of stuff in that article is a fools errand. You'll spend more time updating, patching, and failing to notice any gaping security holes. I'm quite happy to pay Apple about 79 pence a month to deal with all that for me.
