I told you so.
Hard drive is filling up.
I have cacti running to monitor over nine thousand systems for some company.
Cacti is a complete network graphing solution designed to harness the power of RRDTool's data storage and graphing functionality. Cacti provides a fast poller, advanced graph templating, multiple data acquisition methods, and user management features out of the box. All of this is wrapped in an intuitive, easy to use interface that makes sense for LAN-sized installations up to complex networks with hundreds of devices.
...and it does so damn well.

That... may be a problem.

No one listens, and so it became a problem today... imagine that.
My wife comes running downstairs: We have a problem, some server is full and we can't do our job. She was able to portray the severity of the situation. No one she manages could work. I find it cute when she tries to talk technical.
- Jobs restored: 30 minutes.
- Full resolution: 50 minutes.
- Total cost to the company: $15.
I hate myself.
Ya, screw that. I'm billing for the total time of my script to run. I'm am monitoring it... for the past seven hours (and counting).
Also, a shoutout to The Guy for assisting in password management and providing a file destination.
