I have Grafana and Influxdb setup but it is fairly complex for what I am doing. I don’t want to spend a bunch of time creating dashboards and thinking about the movement of data. I am looking for something simple.
I am looking to mostly monitor uptime and Ansible automations.
Edit:
Found this: gethomepage.dev
Have you looked at netdata? It’s super easy to be up and running quickly.
I use https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma
I’m not sure about ansible automations, but for uptime monitoring, it’s really simple and effective.
Just a heads-up, until v2 is released, it does not scale. I used it to monitor around 40 services. It’s too much. So if you have a lot of things to monitor for uptime you might need to either split in several uptime-kuma services, or reduce the frequency
First I’m hearing of a V2, are there any threads on github or posts detailing this so I know what to look for?
Edit: just kidding, found the issue and milestone on github now
What about switching to Prometheus for metrics and snagging some premade dashboards in Grafana? Since it’s pull-based,
upis a freebie, especially if you expose the node_exporter via your reverse proxy.It is too complicated for me. I am wanting simplicity and quite customization
Very understandable and valid. I find that Prometheus’ query language makes a lot of sense to me, so, I like it. Have you tried Cacti or Nagios?
Monitor Ansible automations? I’m not sure why you’d need timeseries capable metrics and graphing for that. If you just wanted a prebuilt solution, look at Chronograf.
You could have a look at munin. It’s incredibly simple but effective. Quite easy to write your own plugins for if you’re missing some data. http://munin-monitoring.org/
