Monitoring solution

Based on VictoriaMetrics + collectd + Prometheus blackbox exporter + grafana

Quickstart

• sudo docker-compose up --build -d
• Open in browser http://127.0.0.1:3000/ and login by admin/admin username and password.
• To add more remote hosts services to monitor (DNS, HTTP, etc) check blackbox-exporter/blackbox.yml
• To add collectd on remote host check external-example/ directory. On remote host install collectd with --no-install-recommends, otherwise in ubuntu it might install full graphical desktop. E.g.: apt install --no-install-recommends collectd

How to clean up and start fresh

Print out the list of files and directories which will be removed (dry run)

sudo git clean -n -d

Delete the files from the repository

sudo git clean -fd

Delete volumes, networks and etc

sudo docker-compose down
