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?
What I do for that is turn it around, instead of checking for a failure I alert on the absence of a success. backrest has hooks, so on snapshot success it pings a push monitor in uptime kuma (healthchecks.io works the same), and if no ping arrives in ~26h it alerts. That way it catches the backup that never ran, which is the one that scares me the most I guess
