===Revised [[Project:Extensions|Extensions]] list===

:::*...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).

:; 3-22 notes

:# Pivoted away from [https://dashy.to/ 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.

::[https://betterstack.com/ BetterStack] More granular at free tier than UptimeRobot.

::[https://uptimerobot.com/ 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.

====SEO Updates====

:*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.
