Die #GitLab Doku lässt echt oft zu wünschen übrig.

Es ist zwar alles dokumentiert, aber wie konkret etwas geht steht selten drin.

Und wehe man weicht vom Standard ab... uiuiuiui

Ich will gerade die #Prometheus Scraping Endpunkte anschalten OHNE den integrierten Prometheus zu verwenden.
Will die Endpunkte mit #Grafana #Alloy in meinen #Cortex holen...

Statt per default einen Wert auf True zu setzen, sind es plötzlich 30.
Die ich mir einzeln zusammensuchen muss...

Guess the next word of the hour @ https://24hippos.com

I’ve set up a self-hosted #Grafana instance complete with metrics storage using #Mimir, central log storage with #Loki, and remote sending of data from my servers using the #Alloy agent.

I couldn’t find any good resource describing the complete process, so I’ve documented my setup along with some tips on how to create dashboards and alerts in Grafana, and am sharing the documentation via my Projects page: https://oxcrag.net/projects/self-hosted-grafana-server/

Happy monitoring!

The comprehensive monitoring I set up for my #homeServer is very nice, but I wish it was less resource-intensive. As it stands, infrastructure and monitoring consumes vast majority of CPU time.

Although #SouthMimms service station was near empty on Christmas Day, I arrived at #Caversham only to find some blighter had nicked one of my fox head centre caps from the rear left #alloy #wheel - I had parked in a quieter corner near the back to avoid other cars being too close, maybe next time I should park nearer the EV chargers as there's more foot traffic there which might deter such things.

You would have to have been carrying a 4mm hex key *and* own the same set of alloys to even want this - its the kind of petty #crime that would have happened back in the 1990s (probably from someone coming back from a rave who had overdone the drugs)

At least they didn't nick the red anodised alloy bolt I ordered from up North (but I have spares of those anyway)

I need some help! I've registered a Grafana Cloud account to monitor one of my servers. I connected the server using the "Monitor your OS" quickstart. It created multiple dashboards all of which seem to be working, but the one called "Linux node / logs". This dashbiard uses a Loki datasource to present some logs. No data is being displayed and non of the dropdows has any values. Now the weird thing is that I cann see logs, via "Explore".

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.
