Re: Impressive consequences
Feels like a monitoring tool should notice that it can no longer monitor something and complain.
Also implies a critical dependence upon a single piece of software. If I were designing data security architecture I'd be looking at the consequences of failure of each element of security. That needn't mean multiples of everything and vast duplication, but there's some activities where you certainly would want different defences running concurrently to cover the same risk, and this appears to be one.
Of course, I'm never going to be in that situation, given my total absence of relevant qualifications, and only a personal interest in the matter.
