I wrote a script for our monitoring system that just does a quick login checks for prompt and if everything is okay sleeping dogs lay. If anything goes wrong anywhere along the line I get a yellow condition until it is resolved. If it stays yellow for 24 hours it goes red. I always practice and preach automate everything. A computer will never sleep or forget. On Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 1:59 PM Andrew Latham via NANOG <nanog@lists.nanog.org> wrote:

Questions: A: How often should one do dry run testing on OOBM? B: How often should one call and confirm emergency numbers for remote vendor sites? C: How could Out Of Band Management equipment be monitored better in 2025?
If you have other thoughts about questions, pop them in starting at D
