What do people use to do system monitoring running on openbsd? Nagios/icinga/something else?

@solene Ok set everything to 32k files, hopefully this will keep the errors away and syncthing / xfce happy. Thanks for you support!

@solene how do you get to 50k files, when there appears to be a 7030 files kernel limit?

@solene this is OpenBSD 7.6. I tried doing something with the number of open files after installing/configuring syncthing. But maybe I made some error. I will try to remedy this in single user mode.

A couple of days in trying to make OpenBSD as a laptop / desktop system has given me interesting issues.

Currently the xfce desktop dumps core as soon as I try to click the menu. Not that great haha. Reading up on this, I've learned that the OpenBSD community is more into window managers like cwm, twm and fvwm. Tried them all this morning. This is just not for me ...

So, I did a small walkthrough of the other BSD websites and figured that FreeBSD would be my next logical step, if the Thinkpad hardware seems to be well supported ...

@stigatle It was unreadable to me so I assumed you were at an event live tooting or something :-)
