Maintenance Log

...Others like Logtail require some more tweaking for proper integration.
These modern monitoring tools are crazy good. Easy to access and use. However...
Due to the way they expose sensitive server information they won't be publicly accessible.
Helps me keep track of resource hogs, identify traffic anomalies and more effectively assess incident reports (if and when).

Pivoted away from Dashy before even starting (an absurd amount of vulnerabilities wrapped in one npm install package!)
Orienting towards a simpler, custom-fit dashboard to combine all metrics (including curated Netdata and GoAccess outputs), logs and recent changes.
Automated the aforementioned to my needs. All internal services have consistent albeit basic access and archival methods in place.
Created a collection of scripts for managing the dashboards, recording metrics & storing the logs (securely).

Three external monitors: DigitalOcean (Host) - Various opt-in metrics, notifications and a responsive support team.; BetterStack More granular at free tier than UptimeRobot.; UptimeRobot Most basic monitor for sanity checking. Minimal offerings at free tier.
For me, this covers the level of redundancy and monitoring I'm looking for. It covers both internal and external services, allows parity checking, comparison and historic logs I can review over time.

Indexing! The site is now appropriately being crawled. (3-18)
Sitemap accepted, robots happy, on-site adjustments to follow. (3-18<)
Fixed incorrect certificate call at "www.kenshidb.wiki" which was returning 403 and a bad handshake warning. Revoked previously generated certificate for Netdata during proxy server testing, allowing for...
Creation of redirect for "www.kenshidb.wiki" to appropriately present "https://kenshidb.wiki/w/Main_Page".
In so doing fixed the Google listing for "www.kenshidb.wiki" which now correctly paths to the frontpage of the website and does not crawl as a 403.

DigitalOcean - Particulars about metrics, extra firewall tweaks, load balancing, etc. Their docs are decent, their support actually answers.

MediaWikifolks - MediaWiki 1.44, SemanticMediaWiki 5.0.0, Parsoid status, Chart (alternatives), other Extension updates, Extension depreciation, ideal package & library versions, etc. PHP 8.1 is becoming the baseline, that goalpost still may move forward soon enough.

As a personal aside I spent a few hours browsing the website on my phone throughout the week and especially on 3-23. From my limited testing the skin was functioning pretty well! I'd love some feedback for anyone trying out the site on a mobile device - the site should be mobile-friendly!

Project:Updates not to be neglected -- I'll be organizing the Gadgets, Widgets, Modules & Extensions lists for that (ideally 3-23).
