    As a developer I'd like to throw my 2 cents in; although this stmt may come
    as no news to anyone else imho the issue is what to parse out as
    significant. With the underlined caveat that once you make (what's in
    essence then) a policy decision about what system output is significant
    enough to pass along to the admin as worthy of review the danger is in
    everything that /isn't/ passed along.

    At least now you've got the gnawing feeling that you're behind in reading
    the stuff; once you implement a system to decide what's worth reading
    you've gotten rid of that guilt pang. Should that evolve into a sense of
    false security - well I can only speculate how many server crashes could've
    been avoided if not for feelings of false security.

    I have my own thoughts about how something like this could be done, but
    it's based more on my experience as a developer than as a sysadmin, and tbh
    I have no experience as an isp owner.
