Will Moore Better node monitoring with new client metrics https://tailscale.com/blog/client-metrics https://tailscale.com/blog/client-metrics Tue, 17 Dec 2024 18:15:20 GMT Tailscale client metrics are now available for local or remote examination, and can be directly ingested by Prometheus or any compatible monitoring system. These are especially useful for keeping tabs on the health and connectivity of subnet routers, and we think they’ll be an immediate upgrade for users that rely on those, such as users with site-to-site network configurations or teams using Tailscale with Kubernetes.

Companies of similar size often have multiples of that. How do we manage to get by with so few people?
