| schestowitz | /root/monitor-techrights.sh is set to show top and expose apache requests on a very short timespan chunks, which I suppose is useful when you have it in sight all the time. It's literally on my right-hand, the mousepad is placed on top of the keyboard of the laptop with monitoring. Better illustrated with a photo. | Apr 08 06:51 |
| schestowitz | Apachetop would probably take much RAM and CPU to show it for longer timespans given the size of the logs. But I am not sure, I have not tried; sounds like a way of getting site stats rather than almost-real-time issue detection. | Apr 08 06:51 |
| schestowitz | I try not to check stats (file sizes only) as it can be addictive and a distraction from what truly matters. | Apr 08 06:51 |

| schestowitz | PS - I have links.txt loaded, but I work until 9am (same tomorrow and Friday; weekend will be off work) | Apr 08 07:43 |
| schestowitz | PSS - still have an orphaned monitor here, not sure how to put it to use, RasPi still an option. I need to think about my workflow and what would complement it rather than be just another screen. I'd have 7 monitors if I attached it to the old Chromebook. How to use a 7th monitor? No clue.
