Hey everyone
I’ve got an old Mac Mini running Proxmox, right now all it has is a LXC for Plex and a Debian VM for Docker (OpenVPN/Transmission and Screeps server).
What is everyone’s preferred monitoring solution?
I’m mostly interested in getting easy access to syslogs, seeing CPU/RAM/Disk space for the Proxmox host, VM and LXC. I have a Mac app called Daisy Disk that shows me all my data on my disk in a nice UI, something with similar capability would be great.
I randomly installed Netdata, didn’t love it. Ran into issues with Cockpit and gave up, but I’d try it again if it’s considered the best. But I’d love to hear options, preferably with minimal setup and maintenance (wish is probably wishful thinking). Don’t hate Proxmox VE, but I feel like I can do better.
I use grafana that gets data from a Zabbix server and also a proxmox exporter for prometheus, most VM also have a zabbix agent, mainly to monitor disk usage.
It’s also possible to use Telegraf. I use it on different machines that sends data to InfluxDB that are displayed with Grafana
Zabbix for everything here.
I use the HACS integration in Home Assistant. Then I can build automation based on events to notify, restart VMs, etc.
