Haha, that’s probably what’ll happen to me eventually. I’ve already noticed a couple data sources missing that I’ve had to fix. Are you monitoring home radiation?

Oh, that’s really interesting! I couldn’t find a way to find absence of success given Backrest’s metrics alone, but using hooks for that seems to solve that problem well. Thanks!

What kind of visualization is the Jellyfin panel? I’m curious how that data is organized. Torrent monitoring is definitely at the top of the list for Grafana priorities, would be super useful for me

Size is a great idea, thanks. The problem with backup age is that Backrest doesn’t expose a metric for when the backup was attempted, so right now it’s just checking for failure status daily. That, of course, fails if backrest doesn’t attempt a backup for whatever reason. Chances of that happening, I don’t know, but I’ll have to look into implementing the metric (or label, I suppose) myself.

What kind of things do you monitor with the Jellyfin dashboard? Would definitely be cool to put up monitoring for Transmission. I was thinking about putting up an Adguard instance to monitor it lol

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.

Ah, those are good ones. I’m a little too neglectful with updates, haha.

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 think aggregating logs would be a good choice, yeah. My homelab is distributed across 5 machines, so it’s been getting a little unruly to ssh into them all the time. I actually haven’t taken a look at premade dashboards - completely forgot those exist. I’ve just been writing the PromQL by hand to learn how it all works before adding premade things

Definitely something to add to the list, environment monitoring sounds like fun

I forgot to look into that! I use glance for my homepage now, and I think they have a Grafana community widget that I could take a look at. I have a bunch of bookmarks of community widgets that I need to look at lol
