Monitoring Your Internet Connection With Prometheus And Grafana
Ғылым және технология
A lot of the things we do these days relies on having an Internet connection
Now in the early days you just paid for access to the Internet and wanted an alert if it went down
But now you can purchase packages with different upload and download speeds, so it's not just about monitoring reliability, but also consistency
In other words, are you getting the service you're paying for or are there times during the day when there are slowdowns or dropouts?
Now an interesting open source combination of monitoring tools that's available for free is Prometheus and Grafana
So in this video we go over how to configure Prometheus and Grafana to monitor your Internet connection, when you're using Docker

Thanks Monitoring isn't just for companies anymore so it's good to see developers like this providing the tools

Thanks again for a very informative tutorial. I have a few questions. My network is subdivided. The speedtest that I need that would tell me my ISP speed is coming from this subnet 192.168.30.0. I have a separate subnet 192.168.20.0 which I used for my containers VM and that subnet is on VPN. What would I need to do here?

Not quite sure how this network pieces together as a VPN connection is usually itself run over the Internet But in any case, a VPN reduces the throughput so the results wouldn't be accurate So if 192.168.30.0 is closest to the Internet, then that's where the exporter needs to be
Could you help me? I'm trying to monitor the status of my clients' connections, I currently use checkmk but I would like to pass everything to prometheus but I'm not succeeding. I have the static and public IP address of the router of the various clients and I would like to check the status (uo/down) and I am using prometheus with blackbox but it doesn't work. On prometheus I see all the online targets even those that are actually offline but if I open blackbox it gives me failure on all the targets

It would be worthwhile checking the logs or running a traffic capture Assuming the polling traffic is being sent out, something in the path may be blocking it Or maybe the end devices are
Thank you.
