Setting up Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring your servers

[@ridvan246]

This tutorial is awesome. Simple enough and really understandable, which is every course or lesson should be.

[@Mr.Rogers1337]

I've gone through tutorial after tutorial and this is the one that got me to where I wanted to be. Thanks a ton

[@shreyshreyansh]

I am so glad that I found ur video... u saved hours of scratching numerous tutorials

[@yopla250]

Great and straight to-the-point introduction! Thanks a lot 🙏 Looking forward to hearing more on this topic

[@tyncha1]

finally!!! after wasting 2 hours i got introduction + installation thank u!! u are good at it!

[@sorenhelms785]

Thank you very much. The best instruction i've seen so far for this topic. I wasted almost a day with tutorials that never worked, whose applications only threw errors and in the end frustratedly let me do a rollback. This worked like a charm on the first try!

[@Itai248]

God bless you this is like the best and only guide on how to install this I was already about to give up until I saw your video

[@fettfoen]

Same here.

[@erentar2002]

The config documentation looks like it is purposefully bloated and obfuscated

[@Pharoah2]

A year later and somehow the documentation is still intentionally bloated and wild

[@sergeyagronov9650]

this was the best introduction and examples i have seen for this topics, thank you very very much for your examples

[@edgardejesusmendozaortegon7655]

Dude you are amazing!!!!! This video save my life!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

[@AhoyCapnLinux]

Great video thanks! If you haven't run into this solution already, aside from `fallocate` you can create large files using `dd` as well. A sample command would be "dd if=/dev/zero of=test.file" where "if" is input file, "of" is output file and "test.file" can be replaced with your desired output filename. The command copies bits from /dev/zero (guess what kinda bit...) and dumps it into the file of your designation.

[@AnabolismRage]

Dude, you are awesome! If you can continue to make such lessons (especially about Prometheus), please, do, it's so helpfull.

Hello, can you please post a video to configure prometheus for Docker containers. Thanks

[@colony123100]

explained very nicely. thank you Eddie

[@AbhimanyuChoudhary15]

@Eddie Zaneski Thanks a lot for the amazing video. It would be great if you could make more videos on monitoring and setting up alerts etc. depending on IMPORTANT metrics. It will also be very helpful for the interviews. They tend to ask a lot about 'what are the metrics you will check to make sure something is working, not working, slow, etc. I got the basics but some deep dive will be awesome! I am a beginner in devops and want to learn more on these topics.

[@TarunGoyal4ever]

Very helpful, good flow and details. keep it up!

[@TheRoosterGr]

Great video thanks! Could you please also cover the alert manager topic?

Thank You for this awesome Tutorial

[@rohitbharati1519]

Hi how can I add a password protected url as target?

[@zelDETERMINADO]

Hello, Question, do I need to install node explorer to all the servers that we have? I'm planning the same concept on what the video shows, the only difference is that I'll be monitoring our own local VM servers. Thank you!

[@abhishekn786]

Thanks for the video, I have query to ask..to download and install we should create new user for it? And if my Hadoop cluster is having 8 machines then i should install Prometheus and grafana in all 8 machines? Or i should install it on only master machine?. Thanks in Advance.

[@diga1001]

Thanks for the great tutorial! It worked fine for me ;) Just one question/problem: How can I autostart prometheus and the node exporter on boot?

[@PS-er1qm]

Would be great to add a little more detail too.... for complete newbs it would be good to explain how to install vim, explain the shortcut keys you are using such as how to shut down prometheus etc etc. Quite difficult for a newb to follow else :)

[@daviddemoss7731]

This is incredible. Thanks a ton

[@andrewnhien9714]

Keep going bro! Thanks you! Wait to your next video!

[@SearchingPeaceInside]

Thanks.. This is Great video. How to get statistics on grafanna from host configured on prometheus ie on grafanna dashboard

[@portiseremacunix]

thanks, how to install the node exporter in remote server? need to setup firewall and any username password?

[@Hiroyugane]

Pretty good tutorial and I learned a lot, but I have a question (and I dunno whether it'll be answered here since the vid's a little older): You installed prometheus on your other servers, too, so you can scrape their data. But when you do that, those servers will have a webinterface and a dashboard to access to, too, right? Doesn't that produce a lot of overhead / wasted computing resources if all you need for the nodes is to share that text file? Also for security and network-cleanup-reasons: I might not wanna have the other servers host any web services

[@eddiezane]

Glad it was useful! You're correct that you'd typically only want Prometheus installed on one server. The other servers actually just have the node_exporter installed (the second thing downloaded) as opposed to the Prometheus server itself. The node_exporter is extremely lightweight and is barely noticeable on the system.

[@Hiroyugane]

​@@eddiezane Ah, I see! So the node_exporter doesn't need the "main" Prometheus-package on the servers it's working on. That makes sense and is exactly what I needed to know, thanks! Also thanks for the superfast response :)

[@sachinchaudhary7994]

I love you a lot. Saved My Life

[@timoclemens5379]

I do exactly the same like you, but when I want to add node_exporter to the config I get the error from prometheus: level=info ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.414Z caller=main.go:530 msg="Stopping scrape discovery manager..." level=info ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.414Z caller=main.go:544 msg="Stopping notify discovery manager..." level=info ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.414Z caller=main.go:566 msg="Stopping scrape manager..." level=info ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.414Z caller=main.go:540 msg="Notify discovery manager stopped" level=info ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.414Z caller=main.go:560 msg="Scrape manager stopped" level=info ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.414Z caller=manager.go:845 component="rule manager" msg="Stopping rule manager..." level=info ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.414Z caller=manager.go:851 component="rule manager" msg="Rule manager stopped" level=info ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.414Z caller=main.go:526 msg="Scrape discovery manager stopped" level=info ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.416Z caller=notifier.go:598 component=notifier msg="Stopping notification manager..." level=info ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.416Z caller=main.go:731 msg="Notifier manager stopped" level=error ts=2020-03-07T16:26:20.416Z caller=main.go:740 err="error loading config from \"prometheus.yml\": couldn't load configuration (--config.file=\"prometheus.yml\"): parsing YAML file prometheus.yml: yaml: line 24: did not find expected key"

[@MLFCRT]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial! It's really helpful! And I also like how you set up your Terminal and Vim, and the way you split the terminal at 09:09. Does Tmux help you with that?

When you added other 2 remote servers, had you already installed node_exporter in them?

Hello Eddie!! How u going? So, I work in a app that processes files and I need to monitor each one of these files. Is that possible with Prometheus and Grafana? If yes, how could I agregate and filter to get It? If no, do I need to make It by my own or do you know another option for it? Besides that, thank you so much!!

[@TheWiiZZLE]

Ok you're amazing, thank you very much! What shortcut did you use to list all processes while writing kill -s HUP?

[@eddiezane]

Thanks for the kind words and glad it was useful! That fancy terminal bit was tab completion from `Oh My Zsh` a collection of plugins I use for the Zsh shell.

[@TheWiiZZLE]

@@eddiezane Oh great I actually never used any plugin other than git with my Ohmyzsh that I've been using for 3 years now. I'll try systemadmin and others. Maybe make a video about that oh my zsh and your favorite plugins!

[@eddiezane]

@@TheWiiZZLE that's a pretty rad idea. You shouldn't need to enable any plugins though if you're already using oh my Zsh. Give tab competing `kill ` a try.

[@TheWiiZZLE]

Eddie Zaneski 😯 what black magic is that?! I guess I’m not adventurous enough with tab completion, thanks a lot!
