Prometheus

Golang Prometheus Exporter Raspberry Pi

Tue Jan 24, 2023 Golang Prometheus Metrics Raspberry Pi Grafana

I have solar panels that are over 10 years old and I wanted to check if performance is degrading

I used an Open Source tool (SBFSpot) to grab some data from the inverter over bluetooth and so it has to be physically near the inverter and runs on a Raspberry Pi

So far so good - I have nice graphs at https://pvoutput.org

But I really wanted grafana graphs it is such a powerful dataviz tool

For that I needed to get the data to Prometheus

Prometheus Excess CPU/RAM Issue

Wed May 19, 2021 monitoring prometheus note-to-self

A key part of any modern infrastructure is good monitoring, even on my local desktop system I like to have monitoring in place so that if a problem gradually builds up I can trace where it started.

Unfortunately in this case the monitoring system actually caused the problem and Prometheus was using up all my system CPU and RAM.
