These are my links for 7 nov 2011 through 8 nov 2011:

• Testing puppet with Jenkins before deploying | mig5.net – […] However, I had overlooked one element: I tend to make a lot of typos […]

  funny and very instructive

• VMware Monitoring Appliance with Nagios, NagVis, PNP4Nagios, Smokeping, Cacti and OpenNMS – Monitoring in just a few minutes! This VMware appliance based on Ubuntu Server Edition 10.10 64-bit contains the most important monitoring software packages, installed and ready-to-run:

  Nagios 3.2.3
  NagVis 1.5.5
  PNP4Nagios 0.6.7
  MK Livestatus 1.1.8
  Cacti/Spine 0.8.7g
  Smokeping 2.3.6
  OpenNMS 1.8.5

  You can start immediately. It is especially suitable for comparing these different monitoring solutions. Note that OpenNMS is written in Java and produces a high load on the system. Starting and Stopping OpenNMS takes a long time (several minutes!).

• Squid Block – DNSBL Redirector for the Squid Proxy – dnsbl_redir is a shamelessly derived redirector based on the asqredir redirector written by Thomas Zippo < thomas at zippo dot ch >. Thanks!
  Its been rewritten to use a DNSBL list (RHS type) to check for and block sites listed in the DNSBL. It will redirect your users to the page/site listed in the top of the dnsbl_redir.h file.

  dnsbl_redir is written in C. It consists of one small source file and a small(er) .h file. It has been tested and runs on the current Squid versions. It performs very well on Linux (RedHat/Fedora), BSD and technically should compile and run on any gnu/linux.
