Diese Woche geht's bei @ajfriesen und mir um Monitoring im Smart Home und dem Homelab. Welche Arten von Monitoring gibt es? Wieso ist das wichtig? Welcher Ansatz eignet sich fürs Smart Home? Darüber hinaus berichtet Andrej über seine Migration von Fritz zu UniFi für WLAN, LAN und Router.

Im Podcatcher eurer Wahl oder hier: https://podcast.smarthuette.de/episodes/grune-balken-machen-glucklich-monitoring-im-smart-home

Viel Spaß beim Hören!

🟣 Integrate smoothly into existing #Prometheus / Grafana / #OpenTelemetry based monitoring stacks, combining VictoriaMetrics’ compatibility and interoperability with CloudRaft’s hands-on observability consulting experience.

We’re looking forward to working closely with the CloudRaft team to reduce infrastructure cost and complexity for enterprises, while delivering fast, simple, reliable and efficient #observability at any scale.

#StrategicPartnership

The latest VictoriaMetrics releases introduce major enhancements across several of its core components, including vmagent, #vmalert, vmctl, and their toolset.
New in v1.130.0:
✨ Metric metadata support (#Prometheus-compatible API)
#VictoriaMetrics can now scrape and store metadata using vmsingle or vmagent and expose it via /api/v1/metadata. Enable it with -enableMetadata=true across vmsingle, vmagent, and vminsert.

VictoriaMetrics #Kubernetes Operator, #VictoriaLogs, and #VictoriaTraces have new features:
🚀 The operator now supports VictoriaLogs and VictoriaTraces in both Single Node and Cluster-based versions — a very significant release.
🔄Better #Prometheus-Operator Compatibility
scrapeClass & scrapeClassName support across VM*Scrape objects

#Traces #Monitoring #Observability #Logs

This #partnership brings together Allenta's consultative strength with VictoriaMetrics' powerful time-series platform, giving Spanish enterprises a clear path to:
🟣 Scalable #observability that grows with their business
🟣 Dramatic reductions in storage costs and resource consumption
🟣 Seamless #Prometheus compatibility for easy adoption
🟣 Expert implementation and support from a proven local partner
We're looking forward to building something together with the Allenta team.

@brendangregg how expensive would be having these traces enabled all the time? https://github.com/brendangregg/perf-tools/blob/master/fs/cachestat or how much sense would it make to monitor that for very long periods, as in on a #prometheus?

#Linux #Monitoring

Together, we’ll help more customers in Benelux and Sweden:
🟣 Handle millions of samples per second with ease.
🟣 Benefit from up to 10x better data compression compared to many legacy solutions.
🟣 Cover any complexity, from simple single-node setups to large, distributed clusters.
🟣 Integrate thanks to #Prometheus compatibility and support for many popular #monitoring solutions as a remote storage or data source.

While this usually works great, recording rules have a cost: The raw metrics still need to be stored in the #Prometheus, even if we don't need them Recording rule need to be executed on interval basis, putting extra pressure on the Prometheus Adding a recording rule always means storing&processing more data.

🟣 #VictoriaMetrics will say present as OPEN SOURCE OBSERVABILITY DAY 2025 - October 23-24: one of our co-founders, Roman Khavronenko will present “Aggregating Metrics In-Flight: Challenges and Opportunities”. One of the common practices for improving the query speed in #Prometheus is to create recording rules for commonly used queries.

PromCon 2025 kicks off tomorrow, the biggest conference for #Prometheus fans! 🎉

Come visit us at the #Google Offices in Munich, Germany 🇩🇪 on October 21–22, 2025. We're excited to catch up with the community, share our latest innovations, and chat all about #OpenSource #monitoring and observability.

Looking forward to seeing you there!🎉

Does anyone use process_exporter (either stand alone, or via #Grafana #Alloy)?

If so are you monitoring all processes or specific? At work they want to monitor all processes on every server but this is making a cardinality nightmare.

#prometheus #devops #monitoring

Switching to #VictoriaMetrics transformed their approach:
✨ 80% less memory than #Prometheus
✨ Handles 76M+ active time series effortlessly
✨ Ingests 450K+ data points/sec in production
✨ Boosts visibility & customer experience

#Observability #TimeSeries #CaseStudy

This talk explores how #VictoriaMetrics builds on #Prometheus fundamentals to offer a more scalable and efficient alternative for teams managing high-ingestion workloads and demanding retention needs, without abandoning the familiar Prometheus ecosystem.

Nice to have everything #Ansible'd and monitored. I forgot that while downgrading to PHP 8.2 I had to uproot my #RoundCube install. One `./run.sh` in my Ansible repo and everything was back.

Also, thanks to #Prometheus, its node exporter, its ability to pick up text files left by scripts, plus #Grafana, I got notification that while the upgrade was happening (I had to remove all PHP 8.2 by hand, and wait till the automation installed the 8.4), one of the cron jobs (#NExtCloud's) was failing.

But at least,

it didn't ask me for diner...

Je suis en train de monter mon #homelab mais la question qui me tourmente, c'est la supervision.
#cacti ? #librenms ? #prometheus ?
Autre ?
Je cherche quelque chose de simple qui me permettent d'ajouter une machine et d'alerter sur des seuils d'alerte.
J'ai commence avec #prometheus, qui me semble tres bien, mais j'ai pas envie de passer du temps sur grafana pour creer un dashboard.
Des propositions ?

Septième jour de mon #randomctober
Avec une image de Saturne, par la sonde Cassini. Alors ça aussi, ça remonte pas mal en arrière. Car je travaillais sur les images de Mars à cette époque là aussi, et surtout, mais aussi sur celles de la sonde Cassini.

Ici, c'est le satellite "berger" nommé Prometheus que l'on voit, au sein d'une des dernières division des anneaux de Saturne.

Instrument Narrow Angle Camera, RGB, le 14 Avril 2007.

Vue fortement zoomée sur une section de Saturne où le bord des anneaux est presque vu d'au dessus, avec ses innombrables sillons clairs et sombres. On voit une toute petite bille irrégulière entre les anneaux et un petit anneau à droite. La planète est visible en arrière plan et occupe presque tout le cliché, avec un bord doux, du fait de son atmosphère.

One of the common practices for improving the query speed in Prometheus is to create recording rules for commonly used queries. While this usually works great, recording rules have a cost: The raw metrics still need to be stored in the #Prometheus, even if we don't need them.

Scaling quality in #Uyuni with #TestOps: using #Terraform & #Salt for repeatable test environments, #Prometheus & #Grafana for visibility, smart test selection in PRs. Check out this #oSC25 video. #openSUSE https://youtu.be/zDV_B4qN0z8?si=0zH4dI6FxMMjIxvA

Anybody know if there's a user friendly interface for displaying #Prometheus metrics? I use #Anubis to protect a site and it binds "metrics" to a certain port. I was able to figure out that I can curl the plain text with:

curl 127.0.0.1:9090/metrics

But it basically just spits the raw text out. That's fine and informative, but I can't seem to find any documentation on the Anubis site about any other available endpoints or options, user friendly ways to access it, etc. I just guessed at it.

reaction prometheus metrics exporter just reached v1.0.0!
Consider using it if you love metrics and want some for reaction.

thanks to @chosto for this great contribution to reaction!

Grafana charts describing reaction-related data, such as action distribution, action distribution per reaction instance, number of triggers per period, etc.

Just noticed after preparing my #mimir #prometheus multi cluster setup over the last days that there is no #kubernetes native or gitops friendly way to upload alerting rules to the mimir ruler (besides Alloy but well) fml
