Description of request

We have some monitoring of HTTPS endpoints via a script which uses openssl s_connect to connect to the website and check the cert age. This is good, but manual, and depends on networking being up.

We should add an LLD Zabbix item to certgetter to automatically create cert age items for all LetsEncrypt certs - this will mean we keep an eye on all certs automatically, no manual steps when adding new certs/hosts. We can then use the HTTPS checks for specific critical URLs we want to test on top.

We can, yes. It was worth asking the question though, because two monitoring solutions is probably not better than one, and Firmitas needs updating to work with forge.fedoraproject.org.

I'm going to shelve this however, because Firmitas works (apart from the above), and getting Zabbix to do the per-group notification system would be more work than fixing Firmitas, I think.

Backlog Status
Needs Review
Work items that have been created or updated but need review, refinement, or approval before they can be considered ready for sprint planning.

  
Backlog Status
Ready
Work items that have been reviewed, refined, and are ready to be committed to a sprint. These items have clear requirements and can be worked on immediately when capacity is available.

  
chore

Work that needs to be done but doesn't add new functionality or fix bugs. Maintenance tasks that keep the system running smoothly and the codebase clean.

  
documentation

Work focused on creating, updating, or improving documentation for users, developers, or system administrators.

  
points
01
A task that is simple, small, and has very little uncertainty. It should be easy enough for any team member to pick up and complete quickly, without a lot of discussion or research.

  
points
02
This is a task that is slightly more complex or larger than a "1." It might involve two or three simple steps, but the outcome is still very clear and there's little uncertainty.

  
points
03
Medium-sized task with some noticeable complexity. It might require a bit more thought or collaboration. The steps are well-defined, but it's not a trivial change.

  
points
05
A significant piece of work. It has more complexity and a higher degree of uncertainty than smaller tasks. It might require some research, a design discussion, or collaboration across multiple teams.

  
points
08
Complex task with a lot of uncertainty. It's often the largest size that a team will consider for a single sprint. It likely requires a detailed breakdown and multiple team members to complete.

  
points
13
Any task that feels like it's a "13" or more is considered an Epic. These are too large and uncertain to be worked on in a single sprint and should be broken down.

  
Priority
High
This is for work that is critical and needs to be addressed in the next sprint. It's often for urgent bugs, important features, or a major piece of technical debt that is blocking other work.

  
Priority
Low
This is for work that is good to do but not urgent. It's a candidate for being worked on when there's extra time or when it rises in importance. It can stay in the backlog for a longer period.

  
Priority
Medium
This is for important work that should be done soon, but isn't as urgent as a high-priority item. It will likely be considered for the next 1-2 sprints.

  
Sprint Status
Blocked
Work items that cannot progress due to external dependencies, blockers, or issues that need resolution.

  
Sprint Status
Done
Work items that have been completed, reviewed, and integrated. No further work is needed within the current sprint.

  
Sprint Status
In Progress
Work items currently being worked on by a team member. Active development, research, or implementation is happening.

  
Sprint Status
Review
Work items that are complete but need review, testing, or approval before being marked as done.

  
Sprint Status
To Do
Work items that are committed to the sprint but haven't been started yet. These items are ready to be picked up by team members.

  
Technical Debt

Work that addresses shortcuts, workarounds, or suboptimal implementations that were done previously to meet deadlines. These items improve code quality, maintainability, or performance without adding new features.

  
Work Item
Bug
Issues where the system is not working as intended or designed. Bugs represent deviations from expected behavior.

  
Work Item
Epic
Large initiatives that are broken down into multiple smaller work items (user stories, tasks, bugs). Epics represent significant features or projects that span multiple sprints.

  
Work Item
Spike
Time-boxed research, investigation, or proof-of-concept work to reduce uncertainty or explore solutions. Spikes help inform future development decisions.

  
Work Item
Task
Used to break down larger user stories into smaller, manageable implementation pieces. They focus on the specific technical steps needed to deliver the user story's value.

  
Work Item
User Story
User-facing features or functionality that can be framed from a user perspective, describing what someone wants to accomplish and why.
