Monday morning funny

Good morning! Here's a joke for you fellow Monday warriors:

Why did the developer stare intently at the application monitoring dashboard all weekend? ...Because if they looked away, it might actually go green! 😂 ☕

Getting weird TLS errors from Kubelet, EKS

Hi everyone, I need some help, hoping to find it here.

My kubelet is sending a lot of errors, including:
1. Can't find container
2. Can't get status
3. TLS error

We use Fluentbit to traffic the logs from Kubernetes to Coralogix.

I'm using EKS version 1.29 with these addons:
1. VPC CNI
2. kube-proxy
3. coredns
4. amazon ebs csi driver

All are at the latest version.

Did anyone encounter this kind of issue?
What could cause it?
Any idea how to debug?

Any idea would be great.

The guide to kubectl I never had.

It took me a while to figure out how to fully get the most out of kubectl (mainly combining it with useful plugins and complimentary k8s tooling) Since none of this was intuitive when I started learning to interface with k8s clusters through kubectl I wrote up a summary of what I have learned so far. Hopefully it might be useful to others.

Did anyone go to APIDays New York? Worth it or no?

Hey devs, did any of y'all go to API Days New York last week?

We did and we had a couple good takeaways: https://www.getambassador.io/blog/navigating-security-ai-apidays-new-york, but it felt pretty vendor-heavy for our dev team who attended. What did y'all think? Any conferences that would be better to send our devs too from a educational stand point so they get the most out of it next time?

Need suggestions to resume

Increasing my experience on my resume to 3 or 3+ years, when I have 2.1 years of actual experience as a DevOps engineer, to meet the requirement for a job that asks for 3+ years of experience could pose an issue?.

Better way to set and talk about goals

So every year my company creates "objectives" for us usually along the very vague lines of:

* Support the dev and data team
* Meet Outage SLAs
* Make revenues go up

etc. etc.

They also rate how well we achieved that objective on a five point scale 1 being under-performing and 5 being going above and beyond! Most people end up getting a 3 or 4 for their objectives.

To me these objectives are the equivalent of me saying: I want to lose weight this year. If I set that goal for myself more than likely I won't lose a single pound because I wasn't specific enough. How much weight do I want to lose? How do I measure whether I am making progress or not? Should the measurements be monthly or should there be another metric I base it off of?

I try and clarify these goals with my manager similar to my example with the weight but I always get hesitation from my manager about setting quantifiable goals. I know this is for a variety of reasons whether they be political, unwilling, or just covering their own ass. These conversations always go back to "I know when you've achieved it and how well when I see it."

I understand this sentiment but it never sat well with me because my manager only has insight to what I am doing when we meet during our one on ones and maybe through communications with other team members. Whether they have enough knowledge on whether I deserve a 4 or a 5 I feel is just based upon feeling and what other managers do.

I guess what I am ultimately asking is if anyone here mastered the art of making objectives that are meaningful and actionable at their work whether you are a manager or an associate?

Internal Documentation

How much is too much? Is writing down the deployment process for each project we manage to much when all the deployment processes are the same? We have 2 Devops guys, myself being one and the other one who know the deployment process and its rather simple. Is there a need to document every single thing?
Trying to find the balance of just enough documentation without over documenting things when i know it may not be really referenced.

What is your take on internal documentation for your team - at least when it comes to reference things. Do you also have documentation which is used to help developers whenever they get stuck an issue?

Does anyone have examples on how to set up a postgres_exporter.yml file for monitoring with Prometheus?

I'm using Docker Compose to run Prometheus, Grafana, and Postgres Exporter in containers. I have a `postgres_exporter.yml` file but having issues configuring it due to not having any idea how to fill it out.

I'm trying to piece different sources I've found online to piece it together but nothing is making sense.

Here is the GitHub for the Postgres Exporter: [https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres\_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter) but it doesn't, at least to me, really explain how to set up a `postgres_exporter.yml` file.

I found this [article](https://www.ongres.com/blog/create-prometheus-integrated-postgres-custom-metrics/) that explains how to set it up but just putting in their example errors out the container.

Maybe I am not understanding the `README` file in the GitHub repo but I don't know how to set up the `yml` file.

Lost track of our cronjobs and webservices - looking for ideas

Hey there!

I'm looking for a tool to manage various cronjob scripts and microservices on our on-prem servers.

Currently, I have 5 servers, on each of them a few cronjobs and webservices listening on random ports, - and I've lost track and would like to regain control.

By management I mean: a WebUI/tool that enforces a standardized approach to the storage location of these bash scripts, their auto-start, and their log files. These scripts a rarely updated, so it doesn't even have to integrate with a CI/CD pipeline, manual deployment would be fine.

The only problem: I can't find anything that matches my requirements, even though it is a real pain to deal with:

Dokku/Caprover/Portainer - won't help as they require to convert everything into a Dockerfile
Redhat Cockpit - just displays overall server processes and health
Windmill.dev / Appsmith - overkill and also requires converting everything to Dockerfiles
Ansible: would solve the standardized deployment part but not so much the management part

I mean there must be some wrapper tool for cronjob/systemd with a WebUI for easier setup/management, right? I just can't find any.

Which of these resources is the best for learning Docker and becoming job-ready?

Read the sub and came to the conclusion that these were the most recommended resources. But which one actually gives you enough knowledge to use at work? Not just an introductory guide, but comprehensive enough to know what you're doing on the job.

1. Helsinki's MOOC course "DevOps with Docker"
1. Bret Fisher's Udemy course "Docker Mastery"
1. Adrian Cantrill's course "Docker Fundamentals"
1. Nigel Poulton's book "Docker Deep Dive"

Can anyone who tried out any of these resources share their opinion please? Thanks

How do I log http cookies in HAProxy? Preferably the whole cookie header.

I did ask Gemini and used what it gave me, but it didn't work. This is what it gave me:

option httplog
log-format custom "%clf %Hr %{+b}C\ " # Captures the entire "Cookie" header with a trailing space


And this is the error I got:

[ALERT] (18679) : config : parsing [/tmp/haproxy.cfg:98] : log-format expects only one argument, don't forget to escape spaces!
[ALERT] (18679) : config : Error(s) found in configuration file : /tmp/haproxy.cfg
[ALERT] (18679) : config : Fatal errors found in configuration.

So I removed the trailing space after C\\, and also removed the "\\" since otherwise it was escaping the last closing quotes too. Anyway, I'm still getting the same error. Any ideas? I've been stuck with this for the whole day. Thanks.

NEW UPDATE: OneUptime - Open Source Datadog Alternative.

ABOUT ONEUPTIME: OneUptime (https://github.com/oneuptime/oneuptime) is the open-source alternative to DataDog + StausPage.io + UptimeRobot + Loggly + PagerDuty. It's 100% free and you can self-host it on your VM / server.
OneUptime has Uptime Monitoring, Logs Management, Status Pages, Tracing, On Call Software, Incident Management and more all under one platform.


Updates:
- Several new monitor options launched - You can now monitor your SSL Certificates and Servers (Processes running, Mem, CPU, Dick, etc)
- Evaluate monitor metrics over time. You can set up alerts for things like - "Create an incident when my website response time is >5 seconds for 5 minutes". This wasn't possible before.
- Added Logs ingestion with fluentd and OpenTelemetry. Traces and Metrics ingestion with OpenTelemetry.


Roadmap to end of Q2:
- New Monitors: We will be working on new monitors options, specifically "Log Monitor", "Traces Monitor", "Metrics Monitor" where you can set up alerts for things like - if there are logs of error logs, create an incident and alert the team.
- Datadog like Dashboards coming soon.


Roadmap to end of Q3:

- We're working on a reliability co-pilot. All you need to do is run a GitHub actions job / CI job where it scans your codebase, queries OneUptime API to get all the error's your software has seen in production. We then try to fix those errors and create PR's automatically. Making your software reliable and better every since day. None of your code will be sent to us. It'll stay on GitHub action runner. We will do this via a local LLM on the runner. Needless to say this will be beta and will getb better over time.


REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK & FEATURES: This community has been kind to us. Thank you so much for all the feedback you've given us. This has helped make the softrware better. We're looking for more feedback as always. If you do have something in mind, please feel free to comment, talk to us, contribute. All of this goes a long way to make this software better for all of us to use.


OPEN SOURCE COMMITMENT: OneUptime is open source and free under Apache 2 license and always will be.
