Error message when attempting install:

OSX could not be installed on you computer. No packages were eligible for install.

The problem - the certificates in the installer are out of date. In order to address this, we can change the date and time on the command line, but we will need to disable networking first.

In your virtualisation manager, disable the network interface connected to your VM.

Under "Utilities" in the top menu bar, choose "Command Line".

Datadog on NASes

Monitoring your Synology or Asus ADM 4 NAS

Summary

Just a walkthrough of the containerized way to get NAS stats to Datadog.

The tl;dr is the container can monitor the host, processes, grab logs and SNMP. If you're using your NAS as a quick dev box you could also monitor other containers.
