upptime VS Grafana

5. Upptime

edit: we have been using https://upptime.js.org/ to monitor our app and website.

I use https://upptime.js.org/ with github pages for free

Upptime - awesome use of Github Actions: https://upptime.js.org

Recently I found an interesting project: upptime/upptime: ⬆️ Free uptime monitor and status page powered by GitHub

Here you go, completely free. Fork the repo and you're off. Uses Github Actions https://upptime.js.org/

Nice! Does it work via GitHub Actions like UppTime?

The other day I stumbled across upptime.js which is an uptime monitor and status page that's built entirely on GitHub Actions, Issues, and Pages. After looking through the project I thought that's pretty cool that you can do this all with just GitHub. I was wondering if there are other examples of projects like this that use these GitHub tools in ways other than the traditional Devops/CI/CD type stuff you usually see.

You could check out https://github.com/upptime/upptime it's free and internally is based upon GitHub actions , so may not always be the most reliable but still pretty cool., You can even create dashboards to view your uptime like mine websites uptime dahboard https://dpirad007.github.io/dionpinto-upptime/

Monitoring application logs is a crucial aspect of the software development and deployment lifecycle. In this post, we'll delve into the process of observing logs generated by Docker container applications operating within HashiCorp Nomad. With the aid of Grafana, Vector, and Loki, we'll explore effective strategies for log analysis and visualization, enhancing visibility and troubleshooting capabilities within your Nomad environment.

To help us visualize these scenarios, we'll build a Grafana Dashboard so we can follow along.

Visualization and Analysis: Choose a tool with intuitive and customizable dashboards, charts, and visualizations. A question to ask is, "Are the visualization features of this tool user-friendly and adaptable to our team's specific needs?" Tools like Grafana and Kibana provide powerful visualization capabilities.

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

Grafana

Yes I'm aware that Grafana is open source but the method I used to find the API endpoints is far quicker than digging through hundreds of files in a codebase I'm not familiar with.

So, you will add one last container to allow us to visualize this data: Grafana, an open-source analytics and visualization platform that allows us to see traces and metrics simply. You can set Grafana to read data from both Tempo and Prometheus by setting them as datastores with the following grafana.datasource.yaml config file:

In example above, we use 2 additional parameters: code (HTTP response code) and page (page identifier), which provide detailed statistics. For example, you can build such graphs in Grafana:

Robin switched to the Grafana dashboard tab, and sure enough, the 5xx volume on web service was rising. It had not hit the critical alert thresholds yet, but customers had already started noticing.
