The #Aquara temperature sensor on my balkony is flaky. Every couple of weeks it just disappears for no apparent reason. So I spent my morning figuring out how to enable #Prometheus metrics in #HomeAssistant and wrote an alerting rule to get a notification on my phone via my local ntfy instance.

Yay, computers.

#OpenTelemetry resource attributes and #Prometheus.

You know it and we know it: they don't always play well together.

This year, #LFX mentee Victoria Nduka researched how Prometheus handles #OTel resource attributes and how we can improve the user experience. Read our latest blog post to learn about her research findings and insightful recommendations. https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2025/ux-research-prometheus-otel/

"We’re writing to remind you that as of October 22, 2024, Monitoring Query Language (MQL) is no longer a recommended query language for Cloud Monitoring. We made this change to focus on PromQL, the open-source standard for time series querying, which offers similar functionality, a wider user base, and more community resources."

Scaling Pingcap #TiDB #observability from #Prometheus to #VictoriaMetrics has been a game-changer! Thanks to the PingCAP team for sharing their experience!

50% lower CPU usage
35% less memory, eliminating OOM crashes
Query time reduced from 40 mins to 3 mins

PingCAP clients, like Pinterest, are thriving with a faster, more resilient monitoring stack! Curious about the switch? Read more

How to Install #Prometheus on #Debian #VPS Here's a guide detailing how to install Prometheus on Debian VPS:
What is Prometheus?
Prometheus is an open-source, systems monitoring and alerting toolkit designed to collect and analyze metrics from servers, applications, and services. Initially developed at SoundCloud, Prometheus is now a popular Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project widely adopted ...

Man[1] kann #Telegraf direkt mit #Prometheus verbinden, und dann #Grafana auf die Daten in #Prometheus setzen. Dann kann man[1] #InfluxDB komplett abschalten und vom Server werfen, und dann hat man[1] eine Baustelle weniger, und das ist schön.

Wollte mir bei der Gelegenheit #Perses näher anschauen, aber konnte es nicht als Container hinter nginx mit Subpath betreiben Dann halt nicht.

I use #Grafana as well, to create the dashboard itself.

The underlying data comes mostly from #Prometheus (which pulls data from any software that provides a compatible endpoint, which is a lot of stuff).

To monitor ping times to various servers (and also implicitly, that they are up), I use #collectd running on a couple of VMs.

Prometheus+collectd get me most of the system/server-level data I want on a dashboard.

Meta's Giant Step Toward Superintelligence

Meta is building huge data centres, each housing multiple multi-gigawatt clusters, to fuel its SuperIntelligence Labs. The first of these, named Prometheus, is expected to come online in 2026. A second larger project Hyperion is also in progress and may eventually be scaled up to 5 gigawatts.

Version 4.9.0 of #syslog_ng is now available. Among others it adds:
- #Prometheus exporter
- more efficient file/directory monitoring on #Linux
- #FreeBSD audit source
Read more at https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/releases/tag/syslog-ng-4.9.0
Packages for #Debian / #Ubuntu / #openSUSE / #Fedora & #EPEL are available.

In case you didn't know, as I didn't as of yesterday, it is possible to get anonymized statistics from #SearXNG using their #prometheus endpoint. And yes, that also works if you scrap the data using #VMagent and store them into #VictoriaMetrics on #OpenBSD.

PR: support for open metrics

Still got to thing of a better way to display those because those lines are a bit messy.
