I have a Raspberry Pi running Docker and a number of containers. I plan on adding another Pi soon. Curious what folks are using for a dashboard to monitor performance of all your hosts and containers. I was thinking of deploying Grafana for this but am curious what others use.
Munin. It’s highly portable and works with many operating systems.
PRTG
I really enjoy practicing with Datadog - though it gets quite expensive really quickly and is quite overkill for 6-7 hosts, many VMs, and 20ish containers.
We use it at work, but monitoring isn’t my team’s responsibility so I try to understand how it all fits together by practicing with it at home.
I think Datadog should have a homelabber tier (above the free 5 physical hosts) that allows people to tinker. I honestly think it would net them more customers.
Prometheus and Grafana for production environments
Zabbix
I second this. I just set my instance up a couple weeks ago.
While researching, I saw many people saying that it’s very good but is hard to set up. I disagree with that to some degree; Setup itself is extremely easy, configuring it the way you want isn’t as easy BUT is wayyy more time consuming. Time consuming != hard, though. Just take time to tweak it how you want.
