THE DEVIL SUGGESTS
Build a network monitoring dashboard
A small, properly bounded project: Build a network monitoring dashboard. Start with a working first version, pay attention to what you notice, and leave yourself with something you can use, understand or show someone.
Do it
- List what you want the setup to do before installing anything.
- Use a spare machine or test device where possible and back up anything important.
- Set up one small service or check at a time.
- Test it from another device and note the settings that made it work.
What next?
Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
