Anything that I can make a computer do but can't because my boss doesn't think it's a good use of my time...

I have a lot of those now but can't automate them because.... I'm too busy dealing with them...

Automate it and dont tell him its automated?

@Codex404 no time to automate

@billgates can you automate a small portion to get time to automate the rest?

@electrineer First is too setup an elk server and then we need to update the apis' logging code so they send a normalized message to the logging server. No point in setting up elk server if no data is sent to it.

So I need a commitment to even bother...
And I can't secretly make that server change.

For the manual semiautomated solution I have now, its doing as best it can with what it can get, and I built that years ago.

Unlike ELK though I'm the only user and maintainer.
