netdata - live server metrics

Sun, 16 Oct 2016 00:00:00 +1300

If your looking for a really good opensource realtime resource monitoring tool check out netdata.io

Very light, looks great and is super fast. I have it running as a docker instance on my unraid server (which runs this website, and a couple of other docker instances).

If you want to show extra info about containers / docker running on your host add the following host mappings;

container <- host

/var/run/docker.sock <– /var/run/docker.sock /host/proc <– /proc /host/sys <– sys

I’ve used the following powershell script to assist with setting up a consistant email alert on various vmware envionrments.

# Usage ; # Please manually connect to vCenter, use "Connect-VIServer" -- this promotes usernames and passwords not beings saved with script. # Update below variable with email(s) use comma as delimita $MailtoAddresses= “monitoring@company.com”

#—-These Alarms will send a single email message and not repeat —- $LowPriorityAlarms=“Timed out starting Secondary VM”,` “No compatible host for Secondary VM”,` “Virtual Machine Fault Tolerance vLockStep interval Status Changed”,` “Migration error”,` “Exit standby error”,` “License error”,` “Virtual machine Fault Tolerance state changed”,` “VMKernel NIC not configured correctly”,` “Unmanaged workload detected on SIOC-enabled datastore”,` “Host IPMI System Event Log status”,` “Host Baseboard Management Controller status”,` “License user threshold monitoring”,` “Datastore capability alarm”,` “Storage DRS recommendation”,` “Storage DRS not supported on host”,` “Datastore is in multiple datacenters”,` “Insufficient vSphere HA failover resources”,` “License capacity monitoring”,` “Pre-4.1 host connected to SIOC-enabled datastore”,` “Virtual machine cpu usage”,` “Virtual machine memory usage”,` “License inventory monitoring”
