Python in SRE?
Understand your organization structure, know what all services are deployed, build a service map and dependencies, understand what all key indicators/metrics are important. Scrape them by python and push them in elastic search and render those metrics in kibana. Monitor all your base machines in Centreon/nagios (https://www.centreon.com).

Periodic network saturation
If you have SNMP access to your switches, a very simple quick start is to use Cacti (https://www.cacti.net/) which will give you some nice graphs in no time at all. Far less complex than setting up/configuring a full monitoring system or NetFlow/SFlow.

PHP errors with Cacti
This was fixed in the following commit https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/commit/d1c1380ad9250c323f1dc874e26840c80edd3afb, I suggest upgrading cacti to at least the 1.2.20 version.

Show min / max temperatures in lm_sensors
Pretty simple request, but I couldn't find any solution on the internet, neither in Archwiki / Gentoowiki. There are some complicated things like cacti that can read sensord output, but that's a bit of overkill. I just want something like hwinfo64 for $forbidden_OS.
