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

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

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?

That’s really unfortunate to see. I was just getting around to setting up my alerts and thought ntfy looked great, since it supports instant notifications on iOS. I guess I’ll leave it be until signal-cli-rest-api gets numberless support…

For manga, I just use Suwayomi as a PWA, since I’m on iOS. Works really well for me. For books, I use openbooks, which automatically imports to calibre-web-automated, where I can then add the book to my Kobo shelf and have it sync to my Kobo. Also works really well for me.
