What if things were different, you know? I tossed out my three options. First one: moving our servers to either Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux, which both support OpenLDAP. Second option: switching to Ubuntu, which also plays nice with OpenLDAP. Third choice: diving into Red Hat, which only supports the Red Hat Directory Server. Who's gonna come out on top? Well, it seems like no one's making the call. It's like we're all just tech operators in the grand Ambaradan General, and nobody really gets it.
In the midst of all this, I got fed up with those same old Zabbix alerts. So, I whipped up a couple of simple Python scripts that'll start running automatically tomorrow through Cronjob.
I did some sleuthing to figure out what was hogging all that memory and swap. Was it MySQL? Bingo! I still remember a thing or two about SQL. Ran a
to pinpoint the heaviest processes. Gave 'em a good ol' "flush," and things seem stable for now, but I bet it's not the end of our troubles.
Tomorrow, we're diving into an old Sparc where three Linux machines got virtualized. This gonna be fun!
