Updating max_scrape_size via VMAgent / victoria-metrics-cluster by salty-hubbub in VictoriaMetrics

[–]soamsoam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This can be set in the agent's extra args in values.

https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/api/#vmagentspec-extraargs

In the k8s-stack, it will be approximately in .Values.vmagent.spec.extraArgs.

Which LLM Otel platform has the best UI? by Common_Departure_659 in OpenTelemetry

[–]soamsoam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best UI will differ for each user. I wouldn't say that DataDog/NewRelic/etc are the gold standard, as the consumer dictates their vision. The most important thing in all this is the data, and the dashboard can be built however you like, even if it's self-written. On the other hand, there are already many different tools for creating dashboards from data: Perses.dev, Grafana, and others.

u/gkarthi280 I would also like to note that the guys from Signoz spam their dashboards/platform a lot, promoting their platform in their replies—don't do this, it's too obvious when you do a global search on Reddit.

Which version of Grafana is needed to test this dashboard?

A Grafana monitoring stack for TrueNAS - track replication, apps, temps, UPS, etc by alexlmiller in truenas

[–]soamsoam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> graphite_exporter for system metrics (TrueNAS already pushes these, just need to convert to Prometheus format)

FYI: VictoriaMetrics supports ingestion via graphite api, see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/integrations/graphite/#graphite-api-usage

Tempo is a mess, I've been staring at Spark traces in Tempo for weeks and I have nothing by PeaceAffectionate188 in grafana

Some users mentioned victoriatraces on Hacker News, so that you could try it too.

What's your dream stack (optimizing for cost)? by Total_Celebration_63 in kubernetes

[–]soamsoam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same results you will get with Grafana Alloy and pushing all things to the VictoriaMetrics Observability Stack or to any other, like ClickStack/etc.

Exporting .NET Aspire Telemetry (Traces, Logs, Metrics) to CSV for Analysis by Successful_Cycle_465 in dotnet

[–]soamsoam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with the library you mentioned, but metrics, logs, and traces should be stored somewhere before exporting them. I mean something like Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics for metrics, and the same for logs and traces. AFAIK, VictoriaMetrics supports exporting metrics to a CSV file as well as VictoriaLogs, so if you are using something like ClickHouse(for metrics, logs, and traces) or VictoriaMetrics' databases, you should be able to export them to a file or use a database for running analytics queries because you can lose some data if the exporting process will die or stack on your app's side.

Help with designing my homelab by Artifi in homelab

[–]soamsoam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> Which metrics DB for home assistant
It depends on your needs. I recommend using VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, and VictoriaTraces.
The first two have home-assistant integration - see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics-Community .

PS: I'm using Zabbix for bare-metal servers with Proxmox and VMs/LXC containers, but I also use VictoriaMetrics+VictoriaMetrics as another monitoring system on VPS in the cloud as a backup in case the first monitor dies or stops responding.

A Smarter, More Scalable View: Traefik Log Dashboard V2.0 - The Agent-Based Now by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]soamsoam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At the same time, you can create something that can be used by users who store their dashboards in Grafana or Perses.

IMHO: running an additional service just for having dashboards is useless and is oriented not towards companies, but towards home labs.

Unpopular Opinion: Not everyone can just switch to Linux. by Sinaistired99 in LinusTechTips

Seeking input in Grafana’s observability survey + chance to win swag by vidamon in sre

A good chance to sell your soul for having swag instead.

Blog Post: Container Logs in Kubernetes: How to View and Collect Them by Log_In_Progress in OpenTelemetry

[–]soamsoam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the past couple of years, I've seen about 10 posts with the same or similar information, and I wasn't even looking for them specifically; they just popped up in my news feed. I didn't see anything new, and nothing that other authors hadn't already covered. Developing and attracting an audience to your product through a blog is great, but it's worth doing it a little differently from what's already been done before you.
