Periodic network saturation
If you have SNMP access to your switches, a very simple quick start is to use Cacti (https://www.cacti.net/) which will give you some nice graphs in no time at all. Far less complex than setting up/configuring a full monitoring system or NetFlow/SFlow.

PHP errors with Cacti
This was fixed in the following commit https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/commit/d1c1380ad9250c323f1dc874e26840c80edd3afb, I suggest upgrading cacti to at least the 1.2.20 version.

Show min / max temperatures in lm_sensors
Pretty simple request, but I couldn't find any solution on the internet, neither in Archwiki / Gentoowiki. There are some complicated things like cacti that can read sensord output, but that's a bit of overkill. I just want something like hwinfo64 for $forbidden_OS.

Best way to view real time switchport traffic?
I'm looking for something that will pull near real time switch port traffic. The 5 min avg that the gui gives you isn't granular enough. I did find https://unpoller.com/, but doesn't appear to be updated in a few years. Is there anything else, that maybe uses SNMP or something?

Docker container that measures my bandwidth and reports with a gui?
I have Unfi equipment and I use unpoller
- Folks who are using Unifi for routing, can you please help me understand how you are managing, handling, and debugging FW rules when Unifi does not log the necessary data?

WAN Usage For 1 Year. How accurate are the Dream Machine traffic analytics?
Not at all. If you're looking to get accurate metrics from the Unifi, then I'd suggest using UniFi Poller with Grafana

Detailed guide on how to use Prometheus, Loki and Grafana to monitor docker host, containers, Caddy reverse proxy with GeoIP map of who is accessing your services.
If you've got Ubiquiti like I do you can use https://github.com/unpoller/unpoller to push your logs / stats to your stack I believe. Or alternatively the OPNsense one.

Grafana Dashboard for my current instance of Home Prod
The Dashboard consists of: Varken for aggregating data from the Plex ecosystem into InfluxDB using Grafana for a frontend. OPNsense capturing with the help of Telegraf plugin. Adguard Home monitoring utilizing a custom exporter named Adguard_Exporter for prometheus. UniFi agregating with UnPoller. For TrueNAS Scale, I installed the community catalog for installing Kube Apps, this allowed me to installed Prometheus and use the node-exporter provided on this dashboard. Proxmox metrics server provided here.

Unifi SNMP & PRTG
Why not just use https://github.com/unpoller/unpoller and modern observability like Prometheus and Loki for events and logs ?? It is working on my side and cannot back to things like Zabbix, Cacti or anything like this. Alerting also possible without any problems.
