I’m curious as to which tools and technologies you all are using to keep track of all those services you are deploying, whether it be resource tracking, network traffic, logs, traces, or uptime.
As a bonus question, how have you organized your network or your services to reduce the overhead of implementing observability?


I’ve got grafana and Prometheus, but I’m currently working on a generic log pulling script that will then feed to a local ollama instance to summarize the logs and let me know if there are any potential issues I should be aware of. Grafana is great for current state, but I’m a big believer in watching the logs to see trends, but I’m too lazy to do it by hand.
Once that’s up and running and steady, I’ll probably tie it into ntfy to actually alert me in real time
Loki?
I may eventually add that, but right now my goal isn’t the actual logging itself, it’s creating a digest and summarizing the logs down to the key points, and eventually getting a notification every morning if something weird showed up. I’m definitely going to add this to my backlog though, thanks for the suggestion
Cool, sounds like a fun project.
Not sure if you have been looking into Jev or other System 1 models, but it might be a good fit since it can output a structured type-safe output. Most of the automation I’ve tried in the past with LLMs failed due to the output structure being hallucinated (ignoring my requested structure). But it sounds like System 1 models might fix that.
I’ve been looking at an open source model called Laya a little and it might work well for your project. Sounds like you’d want structured output.
What kind of rig do you have ollama running on?
