The Mystery Blips
Early in my career, in the late 90s, I was at Cox Interactive Media responsible for our web farm which hosted all of Cox Enterprises news sites: newspapers, radio stations, tv stations. This was before the days of SREs and SROs and dev-ops. We were just system admins and programmers and some of us could do both.
Our web farm was about two-dozen Sun Ultra 2s connected on a FDDI loop, with content on NetApps. We had a couple Sun E450s. Apache on the Ultra 2s. Apache + mod_perl on the E450s.
Monitoring with MRTG[1].
It's 1998. The Ken Starr report drops. Now, we knew it was coming, and we did our best to be prepared, but this is the late 90s. There was only so much load testing we could do and didn't really know how much traffic it would drive. We kept the site up, but it meant, as I recall, a lot of fine tuning of the mod_perl box and disabling interactive parts of the site.
I really wish I still had some of the traffic graphs.
Fun times.

Considering a network overhaul. Need advice on Fortinet/FortiSwitch/Aruba/etc.
Currently the Arubas are managed by CLI/NetDisco. Its great, but NetDisco cant do much beyond identifying devices, and setting the untagged vlan - and I need to break out putty for anything else.
