  1. flow

    Ge0rG, IIRC groupchat

  2. eevvoor

    IRC or IIRC flow?

  3. flow

    eevvoor, the latter :)

  4. eevvoor

    oh, I have a BildungslĆ¼cke :D flow

  5. flow

    no shame in that, as long as you are motivated to fill it :)

  6. mdosch

    IRC as base for groupchat would be a step back rather than forward. šŸ˜

  7. mdosch

    But I also always forget what this acronym means.

  8. eevvoor

    yeah but I havbe many people which are reachable only via IRC

  9. eevvoor

    yeah but I know many people which are reachable only via IRC

    forgetting what IIRC means is a bit of ironic tho

  11. jonasā€™

    forgetting what IIRC means has a bit of an irony to it though

  12. mdosch

    If I really caredā€¦

    mdosch: :D

  16. Guus

    What monitoring tooling includes monitoring probes for XMPP ?

  17. Guus

    as in, for availability of a service expected to be running.

  18. jonasā€™

    observe.jabber.network? :)

  19. MattJ

    observe.jabber.network ;)

  20. MattJ

    Heh

  21. jonasā€™

    it is built on https://github.com/horazont/xmpp-blackbox-exporter

  22. jonasā€™

    if youā€™re lazy and/or also want an outside view, you may or may not find integrating `curl -XPOST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'{"target": "muc.xmpp.org"}' https://observe.jabber.network/api/v1/check/xmpp-server | jq -r .success` in your monitoring useful.

  23. jonasā€™

    (also available as xmpp-client and the respective xmpps variants)

  24. jonasā€™

    (and subject to rate limits)

  25. Guus

    Useful, thanks, but my question was more: which more generic monitoring services (that can be expected to already be used by organizations) also offers XMPP checks?

  26. jonasā€™

    Guus, Prometheus can be reasonably expected to be already used nowadays

  27. Guus

    Back in the day you had the Zabbixes and Nagiosses of this world, which I assume by now is completely outdated - but will have replacments?

  28. jonasā€™

    and adding another exporter is standard practice then

  29. jonasā€™

    nagiosses have check_xmpp somewhere
