InfluxDB + Grafana | Monitor Proxmox Cluster in EASY MODE ! | Proxmox home server series | Home Lab

You need to know what is happening with your Proxmox server (cluster). Data is very important if you want to troubleshoot a problem without knowing when it started or what might caused it.
InfluxDB + Grafana will help you find that problem! Let me show you how easy is to setup this monitoring setup - EASY MODE!

What a great tutorial, clearly explained, straight forward and slowly enough that I could follow along nicely. Well done and thank you! :)

[@nebulozitate]

Excellent video !

[@ClimaxUke]

Great tutorial, thx you so much ! Have a nice day

[@Lunolux]

great video, didnt even see the "metric server" option, i have grafana for some info from my database but i didnt know there was some "template" already ready by just copying their id to grafana, gonna test it with proxmox thx

[@janhatton4405]

Very helpful thanks. Did you make the container privileged?

[@MRPtech]

No. I run unprivileged containers. If I need to use something price privileged container - I set separate lxc/VM to isolate it.

Thanks

I watched your Zabbix and this tutorial, good job... what I feel both these tutorials are missing is how to enable "notifications", select which alerts to notify me about and those that I wish to ignore... it would be nice if you could explain this for both grafana and zabbix... Although I would be interested to know if you are using Grafana alerts at all, or just zabbix?

[@MRPtech]

Noted. This will be done

[@MRPtech]

Just to let you know - i have already started to write up guide how to setup notifications inside Zabbix. Next will be Grafana

[@JayB6]

Do you prefer this or zabbix?

[@MRPtech]

I've been playing around for about 2 weeks now and ... i like it. All data pulls and graph updates just feels more snappier compared to Zabbix. They are both great options to consider, but from my point of view - zabbix is more for huge data collections where Grafana is more closer to Home Lab and small businesses.

[@RobertFabiano]

I got permission denied for the volume /var/lib/grafana, so I just removed it for now.

[@MRPtech]

Folder that you tried to map to container path "/var/lib/grafana" That folder - who owns it? sounds like root:root has access to that folder and not user

[@user-eh8oo4uh8h]

Probably easier to just install netdata.

[@Lunolux]

but netdata you need to install it on the pve host, i prefere this methode.
