I'm curious as to which tools and technologies you all are using to keep track of all those services you are deploying, whether it be resource tracking, network traffic, logs, traces, or uptime.

As a bonus question, how have you organized your network or your services to reduce the overhead of implementing observability?

Jev and ollaya are on my list to eventually add. I'm running ollama through an RTX 3080 with 10 gigs of RAM. Just because it's what I had lying around. I was mostly using it for gaming but it works for local model use. I'm also planning on installing Hermes in a bit once the log manager project is done, but that's going to take some careful tinkering because I'm technically underpowered for it. I'm probably just going to have some gate checks up to make sure nothing loads during a gaming session.

My main goal is to completely get off the frontier models if possible because I have concerns about the environmental impacts, especially. As a shameless pirate I mind intellectual theft less, but I really do disagree with the environmental impact, especially when a optimized local model plus a bit of scripting and filtering. Does the job 90% of the time

But we'll see, I'm still tweaking everything, but I think I'm about 90% done with the log normalizer to do most of the heavy lifting act on the logs programmatically, to keep the context window for my local models as optimized as possible.

It's definitely been a good fun learning project

Oh, one of the first things that I implemented was a hallucination checker. If it cites any data that's not actively in one of the corpus I've supplied, it automatically gets flagged and filtered out. But most of what I do can be handled with internal documentation and material I explicitly provide.
