Does Grafana fit into the same category as far as monitoring goes?
-
@PhlipElder no, Grafana doesn't do monitoring at all. It is only a graphical representation tool. If you want to use Grafana with monitoring tools, which is a great fit, you need a monitoring tool separately, then have Grafana display said monitoring info.
For example, we do this with Grafana and Zabbix. Zabbix does the monitoring, Grafana adds an additional graphical interface to the Zabbix data.
-
We also attach Grafana to Unifi to get more data displayed than the normal Unifi tools show on their own.

Excellent thank you.
It's on the To Do List to set something up for the Ubuntu instances we've been deploying on our hosting clusters.

Kuma seems to be designed around things like websites. Think "Uptime Robot" but self hosted.
I think what you'll want is either (or both) Zabbix and/or NetData. We do a ton of Linux and those are the tools that we use for all monitoring.
-
Lots of other tools exist, too. But these are kind of the rock stars of the space and both are free.
-
If you want a dashboard, Netdata does that out of the box. If you want a pretty dashboard for Zabbix, then that's when Grafana is going to shine. Build an amazing sexy dashboard for your Zabbix data on Grafana to make management happy about a monitoring solution.

I've had some fun with Grafana, Telegraf, and InfluxDB but it's been a while.
The above were done during one of our SMB S2D cluster proof runs. Grafana was great for helping to pinpoint what was going on while it was happening. We were able to do some pretty good tuning to pull off great IOPS and Throughput numbers from a little Intel Xeon E3 single socket platform with SATA SSDs for cache and SAS HDDs for capacity.
