• μMon: Stupid simple monitoring

  Https://collectd.org/ does the gathering (and writing to RRDTool database, if you so desire) part very well. Many plugins, easy to add more (just return one line of text) Still need RRD viewere but that's not a huge stack And it scales all the way to hundreds of hosts, as on top of network send/receive of stats it supports few other write formats aside from just RRD files. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• μMon: Stupid simple monitoring

  Why not use https://collectd.org/ which is in C and used by openwrt's luci already along with rrdtool, small in size, low on resource, and has so many plugins already? - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Post Mortem on Mastodon Outage with 30k users

  Then you will have same problems but now you can bother manufacturer about it! Also unless there is something horribly wrong about how often data is written, that SSD should run for ages. We ran (for a test) consumer SSDs in busy ES cluster and they still lasted like 2 years just fine The whole setup was a bit of overcomplicated too. RAID10 with 5+1 or 7+1 (yes Linux can do 7 drive RAID10) with hotspare woud've... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• IT Pro Tuesday #217 - Python Frameworks, Logging Tutorial, Android Terminal & More

  Collectd pulls metrics from the OS, applications, logfiles and external devices for use in monitoring systems, finding performance bottlenecks and capacity planning. Hombre_sabio explains, "Collectd is a tiny daemon that gathers information from a system. It enables mechanisms to collect and observe the values in different techniques. It is an open-source monitoring tool to retrieve and manage SNMP master agents.". Source: over 1 year ago

• CPU Performance of a docker minecraft java server on Raspberry Pi 4

  For metrics storage I'm using a Graphite database and the graph UI itself is Grafana. To get these I'm using the Debian repos they supply with mostly off-the-shelf configs. For collecting metrics from the Pi to send to Graphite I use collectd. It has a lot of off-the-shelf plugins you can use to grab metrics like CPU usage & load average, network in/out, memory stats etc. The Minecraft-specific stuff you can get...

• syncoid alerts: how are you all getting notified on sync failure/success/etc?

  I use Monit (https://mmonit.com/monit/) to manage syncoid operation, scheduling and alerts. This also assists with grouping of jobs and provides at-a-glance status on the M/Monit dashboard. Source: about 1 year ago

• monmon -- Monitor your monitoring with a Raspberry Pi (or, annoy yourself with a flashing light whenever you have issues with Healthchecks.io, Monit, or UptimeRobot!)

  I recently switched to Monit to keep tabs on my servers, and although I really like the Idea of M/Monit, a paid product that lets you monitor all of your Monit instances in one Place (as well as giving you extended functionality), I just couldn't justify the cost. So I set out to create my own super lightweight M/Monit alternative, one that would Simply alert me of any issues with my Monit instances, and then I... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can no longer connect to protectli/opnsense device

  Using MONIT or ZABBIX plugins to set up email (text, etc) alerts for when power is switched to batter, or from battery to mains, or the device has recovered from a total power loss. And monitor and alert for other things like connection loss (WAN/LAN) and more. Source: about 2 years ago

• Monitor disk status with ssacli

  I like monit because it’s simple, and has an easy web interface. I use m/monit to aggregate all my servers into one interface. Source: over 2 years ago

• Finally got a landing page built for my little lab, after much inspiration from this sub!

  I'm only running Monit on my OPNsense box, because it lets you configure some really specific conditions to watch/ trigger notifications for, and that was important for my firewall. It's great, but I wish there was a decent UI like M/Monit, but open source. Source: almost 3 years ago
