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?

    I mean, I got the whole set of default dashboards, some for networking and one each for backups (k8up) and Postgres (CloudNativePG), but I don’t look at them often, usually only if something’s wrong. I also have logs available via Grafana, but I don’t have any dashboards for that, I just query what I need. If I ever have enough time and motivation, some things I’d put on a kind of overview dashboard would be in addition to your list:

    • zpool health (scrub status, IO etc.)
    • list of crashing pods
    • list of warnings from FluxCD (e.g. application upgrade failures or invalid manifests)
    • list of failing persistent volumes
