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 think it’s pretty cool in beszel you can set it up using docker so easily and pass the disks through for SMART monitoring and not have to have an extra solution.

      Beszel is really cool! I was actually planning to set that up at first, but I really wanted to learn Grafana / Prometheus and have the flexibility to customize things how I wanted. That’s definitely my biggest annoyance with using Grafana - I have five machines setup, and each one has 3 containers for monitoring (cAdvisor, smartctl_exporter, node_exporter), so it got pretty tiring to put up so many containers.
