Re: [bitfolk] Wanted: volunteers to play with new graphing setup

Hi, I've been working towards replacing our aging and creaky Cacti¹ installation with something more modern, based on Prometheus and Grafana. I think it's nearing the stage of being able to take over from Cacti now, so I would like some volunteers to have a go at using it, give feedback etc. If you would be willing to do so, please drop me an email off-list and I'll enable you to log in to it (with your usual BitFolk credentials). Cacti will continue running in the meantime so there is nothing to lose, only some time spent using it. The goal here is not to offer a full hosted Grafana/Prometheus setup, as that would be rather complicated and there are companies that already do that as their entire paid service offering. I'm just trying to replace the functionality of our Cacti, which for customers basically amounts only to bandwidth and CPU graphs. We can do a little better than this — in particular, block device graphs have been pretty easy to add — but that's the sort of scope I am looking at for right now. Once we're happy with it, Cacti is going to stop gathering any further measurements. After you've had a play for a bit, feedback to this thread is welcome, or to me personally if you'd rather.
