I have a wonderful system in place to graph my various server stats as well as alert me when certain boundaries are being crossed. For instance, if one of the two storage drives in any one of our three audio loggers gets full past a certain point, I get an email about it.

It’s set to email me every half hour, so it’s a little bit hard to ignore.

I started getting email about Logger 1 towards midnight on Friday. At the time I was out in Beaverton and disinclined to do much of anything about it. Then, last night, I started getting email about Logger 3 as well, and it didn’t take a genius (which I’m not anyway) to figure out that if either of those two loggers went down before I could make it to work Monday, there’d be all kinds of hell toupee. Er, to pay.

So here I am, paying a visit to the office so I can delete out files that the iMediaLogger software is supposed to be doing automatically. Argh. (To fix the problem, says software maker OMT, requires upgrading to a new version… that won’t run on our hardware. Great!)

Here’s hoping your weekend’s more relaxing than mine, friends.
