Monitoring Home Network

▤ Summary

I find Grafana hits just a right balance of being simple enough to learn basics but powerful enough that you can get into advanced stuff if you need it. InfluxDB makes it really easy to push custom metrics from command line or literally anything that can speak HTTP and I find that really useful in heterogeneous network filled with various IoT devices. While version 2.0 is available, I actually prefer using 1.8 as it’s simpler in setup, lighter on resources (important if you run it in virtual machine), and it comes without GUI. Installation is again really similar: And a minor update is needed for daemon in order to forward syslog messages. PS: While creating graphs is easy enough, dealing with logs is a bit more complicated.
