Very kewl stuff. Started a proxmox server(HP 800 G5 TWR, had a couple from work) 2 months ago and been learning a lot. I just have 1 ubuntu VM running with up to 10 docker containers, so far. Mostly for plex and Arrs...I like how you explain the commands in your videos. Trust me I've been on many youtubers sites...hehe I need to be able to expose some of my services soon, so more learning to do. Thx

@TheOpinionatedYouTuber 6 месяцев назад

This was an excellent tutorial. I’m just starting to get into playing with Docker in my lab environment. Is there a way to use this setup to query SNMP hosts like routers and wifi APs and printers?? Thanks in advance!

@Techdox 6 месяцев назад

Hey mate, glad you found it useful! So the same could be used in that situation I think, but instead of a node exporter you could use a SNMP exporter, I have not used it before though so kinda assuming here

@Cloecher11 3 месяца назад

Thank you for posting this. I've tried doing the influxdb, telegraph, grafana way to visualize data on my servers, but that's overly complicated. This was very easy and straight forward. The only question I have is is there a way to set Prometheus to store metrics on remote storage? I'm running my docker container on a nuc with a small hard drive and would love to have metric data living on a share hosted by my TrueNAS server.

@Techdox 3 месяца назад

Yeah so you can set the Prometheus data location to the shared drive, Docker supports NFS as it’s pretty critical for a lot of production environments and swarm

ThankYou for making my life easy it was a hell, I was setting it up on EC2 Instance, tried various methods something was going wrong every time. But I want to run Grafana on port=3020 its was unable to reach. anyways I set it up on port=3000

@ChaidirCB 4 месяца назад

Quick questions guys, 1. how to setup so it could read event at different network/wifi let say I install node exporter at other device as agent, aleady setup allow port and even turn off firewall but noting avail. 2. related to point one, I try to install in server (linux) but only accessible via domain like domain/metrics give me data unlike point number one but when I setup config YAML with domain its error and not even show in local 9090 notes I used macos m2 as host installed / setup Prometheus & Node Exporter via brew on terminal. Thx.

@paspaiocaeedro4824 4 месяца назад

Hi great video! I just have a query, since I'm just trying to monitor two servers. I create another job under the /prometheus/prometheus/prometheus.yml. The problem is that I cannot see the second job. And the first one is named as your job "elzim" I already change ip's and job names but still cannot get the second one running. I restarted the node exporter and both grafana to no avail. Edit: I'm now able to see the second job, but not the second "ip/host" in grafana. And one of the jobs is still stuck with the "elzim" name I have the current config. - job_name: server1 static_configs: - targets: ['x.x.x.x:9100'] - job_name: server2 static_configs: - targets: ['y.y.y.y:9100'] I will appreciate any advice. Thank you!

@m7mmadomar 3 месяца назад

Thank you, this is wonderful. I have a question: I have multiple servers and I want to display them within one Grafana dashboard, meaning more than one control panel for different servers. Is this possible? Please explain the matter to me.

@Techdox 3 месяца назад

Thank you! So you can have your servers in one dashboard. When you have say a CPU tile watching the utilisation, you can change the query of that tile and specifically point to your server and then rinse and repeat for the others. By default I believe the tile is looking at what ever value you have selected for the server as a variable. If that makes sense?

@m7mmadomar 3 месяца назад

@@Techdox Okay, but how can I identify the secondary servers? Do I need to add them? Or download Grafana again on each server? I searched for a solution but couldn't find one.

@Techdox 3 месяца назад

@@m7mmadomar you follow the same steps I showed in this video. All data from your servers come from Prometheus and Node exporter, once all those logs are in Grafana you can use them as you please. It’s just a matter of playing around with the Grafana queries

@000shahul 3 месяца назад

Hi Sir, Can I ask something? Why we are combining promethus and grafana?Instead we can use grafana only,right? What extra advantage we will get if we combine these 2?

@Techdox 3 месяца назад

Grafana by itself is just for the dashboards, you need to bring data into Grafana and we are using Prometheus to grab that data and store it, we then pass that data over to Grafana to create nice dashboards

@000shahul 3 месяца назад

why alternative tools like Kibana, Microsoft Azure Monitor, and others are not being considered or used.@@Techdox

@Techdox 4 месяца назад

@simuman 4 месяца назад

@@Techdox Says that service status is running, but nothing coming through to Grafana. Just completely rebuilt server today and started from scratch and same message have not got to setting up dashboard yet will let you know. Yeah, completed all the steps shown in video, still same issue. Name of job does not show in Grafana and nothing coming through to dashboard obviously as not seeing job. Looks like data is being captured as when I run the curl statement seems to have some values showing. Should there be an IP address in the "listening on" line when you run the systemctl status command of the service. Mine is showing "Listening on" address=[::]:9100. Not sure what the issue was, but found that after recopying the prometheus.yml file it all came to life. All good.

@bobskiiii Месяц назад

Any idea why my Prometheus container is not hot-reloading? I was racking my brain trying to figure out why it wouldn't see my custom exporter after updating the prometheus.yml file, trying all kinds of ip/localhost/dns until I decided to remove the default metrics and saw no changes on the Prometheus web-app Sure enough, taking down the container and restarting it updated the metrics it could see. I'm using the same volume/binds as yours in the docker-compose.yml files

@Techdox Месяц назад

Can it hot reload? I have had to restart it each time I make a new connection. I think I showcased that in the video
