The bell rings when it is real.
tocsinbang watches your servers and hosts. Two independent signals must agree before it rings. One alert. Evidence attached. Then quiet.
One signal is a rumor. Two signals are a fact.
Monitoring tools page you for everything and train you to ignore them. tocsinbang rings on confirmation, not suspicion.
Listen
Agents report from inside your hosts. Checks probe from outside. CPU, memory, disk, network, services. Every reading carries a timestamp.
Confirm
Before the bell moves, signals must agree. An agent going silent is a question. An agent going silent while the external check fails is an answer.
Ring
One alert. The evidence that triggered it, attached. Silence the bell when you have it. All quiet when it clears.
A codeword that meant: confirmed.
During the Cold War, the Royal Observer Corps kept watch over the United Kingdom with an instrument called AWDREY: Atomic Weapons Detection, Recognition and Estimation of Yield. It read the flash. A companion instrument read the electromagnetic pulse.
When AWDREY registered a burst, the report went out under one codeword: TOCSIN BANG. Not a threat. Not a drill. A detection, confirmed by instruments, with a time attached.
A tocsin is the alarm bell a town rings when the danger is real. That is the standard we hold alerts to.
