#prometheus

Last night I learned about Kubernetes Network Policies: specfically that kube-prometheus automatically applies network policies to everything in its stack that prevents anything else in the cluster from talking to kube-prometheus pods, and that port forwarding is not affected by network policies.

#WTF ?

#Crypto #entrepreneur proposes 450-foot #Prometheus statue on #Alcatraz

#Calvin has described the figure as a “titan of innovative progress” and a “monument to American manifest destiny” that celebrates the liberating forces of #technology and #entrepreneurship.

“Standing taller than the Statue of #Liberty, our monument inaugurates a new golden age, revering creativity and the heroic nature of man,” Calvin wrote on the foundation’s website.

Ever wonder why Plex buffers even when your server looks fine?

I put together the Ultimate Plex Dashboard using Prometheus + Grafana to track:

- CPU & GPU utilization
- Disk health (SMART)
- Network throughput
- Active Plex sessions & transcodes
- Library stats

All in one place. 📊

If you’re into homelab, observability, or Plex, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

Hey, my Observability team at Upgrade is hiring. We do metrics, tracing, Golang tooling, and some open source contributions. Fully remote, nice vacation policy. If you're a friend of a friend, DM me and I'll put in an internal referral for you. Come work with me and approve my PRs!

Linking to the Canadian listing, but there's a separate US listing on there

So we decided to self host a small piece of production infrastructure on a Hetzner VPS for an ongoing project, hoping to save moniez on the long run, and also validating the idea.

I wonder however how to monitor these servers for basic health, like CPU, memory, disk usage, etc.

I could also self host #Prometheus, but given the low volume and low needs, we'd likely fit into a free/cheap hosted plan.

Any recommendations?

Anybody know if there's a user friendly interface for displaying #Prometheus metrics? I use #Anubis to protect a site and it binds "metrics" to a certain port. I was able to figure out that I can curl the plain text with:

curl 127.0.0.1:9090/metrics

But it basically just spits the raw text out. That's fine and informative, but I can't seem to find any documentation on the Anubis site about any other available endpoints or options, user friendly ways to access it, etc. I just guessed at it.
