Comment on I highly recommend journalctl-desktop-notification

Without any monitoring you will find out about problems exactly in that moment when you what to use the service that doesn’t work. Sometimes you need something quick and you don’t have time to debug and fix in that moment. If you get an alert early you can decide to fix it right away or in a few hours or tomorrow.

What do you need quick? I have a Minecraft server, a wiki for random stuff, a shopping list, a calendar sync, photo hosting, a media server and probably some other shit on there.
I can think of many situations where I’d want those quickly, but need I don’t anything.

Calendar sync? I learned that Nextcloud went to shit again when I missed an event added by my spouse to the shared calendar. Pretty important to me.

You don’t need something ever. Sometimes you just want something because the alternative is realy bad. I don’t need to eat. I want to eat because I don’t want to starve.
I want to watch a movie with my partner at the agrees time because otherwise they will be mad. I want to access my digitalized documents to send a letter in time because otherwise I will have to pay late fees. I want to access my gameserver because that’s the one time a week I get to have fun with my friends from my college time.
There are many situations where I’d rather do the thing I want instead of doing maintenance.

Yep and I have less time for all these things when I set up monitoring
