prometheus VS Telegraf

WriteRequest::timeseries is a vector (https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/main/prompb/re...) and

Developers widely use Prometheus as a system for operational monitoring and alerting for their projects. Here is a list of tools for monitoring frontend services with Prometheus.

Just to give an example of the power of Go for CLI builds, you may have already used or at least heard of Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Terraform, but what do they all have in common? They all have a large part of their usability via CLI and are developed in Go 🐿.

Distributed system administrators need mechanisms and tools for monitoring individual nodes in order to analyze the system and promptly detect anomalies. Developers also need effective mechanisms for analyzing, diagnosing issues, and identifying bugs in protocol implementations. Logging, tracing, and collecting metrics are common observability techniques to allow monitoring and obtaining diagnostic information from the system; most of the explored code bases use these techniques. OpenTelemetry and Prometheus are popular open-source monitoring solutions, which are used in many of the explored code bases.

Setting up monitoring for a system, especially one involving GRPC communication, provides crucial visibility into its operations. In this guide, we walked through the steps to instrument both a GRPC server and client with Prometheus metrics, exposed those metrics via an HTTP endpoint, and visualized them using Grafana. The Docker-Compose setup simplified the deployment of both Prometheus and Grafana, ensuring a streamlined process.

Alerting and Notification: Select a tool with flexible alerting mechanisms to proactively detect anomalies or deviations from defined thresholds. Consider asking questions like "Does this tool offer customizable alerting options and support notification channels that suit our team's communication preferences?" A tool like Prometheus provides robust alerting capabilities.

Prometheus

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit. It is designed to monitor highly dynamic containerized systems, making it an excellent choice for monitoring Docker containers and Kubernetes clusters.

Prometheus: Open-source monitoring system. Often used together with Grafana.

The Telegraf (v1.27.3) Net Input Plugin only reports total numbers - i.e., total bytes received by an interface.

I need some help with Filestat - https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/filestat

Telegraf’s Secretstores Plugin implementation on GitHub

That's the thing, I do need network_mode: host on telegraf in order to get host network statistics. See here or here

After screwing around with it for a while, I was able to get inputs.smart working... but I'm not thrilled with the answer. According to this in order for you to get the SMART data inside a container you need to edit the sudoers file inside the container.

I’ve been using the Jolokia agent with telegraf to push JVM metrics into InfluxDB (among other things). I think it can be used with Prometheus too.

Do you mean Telegraf?

I have two devices; both are connected to a Raspberry Pi using a USB converter as Slave 1 and 2. I want to get some readings using Telegraf software https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/release-1.26/plugins/inputs/modbus (happy to try any other linux software), but I'm having trouble (I'm seriously confused to be honest) with byte_order, data_type, and input register addresses.

Yeah i think you can use the grok processor, docs found here: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/parsers/grok
