What sort of things do y'all monitor with Grafana / Beszel / etc.? (lemmy.world)

Have been working on my Grafana dashboard recently and am thinking about what else I could add. So far, I have:

  • CPU usage and temperature
  • Memory usage
  • Network usage
  • Backrest daily backup status
  • SMART status of drives
  • CPU and memory usage of containers

Anything else that you find useful? I have a few other ideas, but am curious what others have up. Is everything on one scrollable dashboard, or do you have it organized across multiple?

I have a series of Tasmota esp32's with Temp/Humidity/Barometric Pressure sensors around the house, attic, garage and outside. I scrape it into influxdb and have a Grafana dashboard setup.

    Thats really cool.

    Is there any reason you chose grafana over home assistant?

    I'm just setting uo a similar system myself, but I never even had the idea to use grafana for it

    I already had influxdb+grafana setup, so it was easy to pump data to, plus I was able to then match it up with cpu temps and such from my Kubernetes nodes. I like having all my data in one place.

    That said, Tasmota has native Matter support and I now have a few ESP32's controlling sockets, lights, etc., that integrate with Home Assistant.

    How much does each sensor wind up costing, esp32 and all? That sounds really interesting. I think I have an esp32 laying around that I haven't gotten to playing with yet.

    I found a pack of 5 on Amazon for $20, for each of the sensors and the esp32's... so $40 for 5. Probably cheaper in Ali or similar. The only negative is they need some calibration. The ones from Adafruit are better quality and already calibrated, but much more expensive.
