I decided to setup the stack and see how it worked. It also seemed that TIG has support for an SNMP agent based solution. After looking into Influxdb and Telegraf a bit more, I was inspired by what others ( here and here) had done to quickly setup monitoring. I wanted a unified solution that could do both host based metrics and network statistics. This caused me to refocused on the the Telegraf, Influxdb, Grafana or TIG stack. Ntop-ng initially supported prometheus, but latter dropped support in favor of Influx. I want to use Ntop-ng to monitor data flows in my network and I wanted to store the data in a time series database compatible with Grafana. One of the things that changed my mind on using prometheus was my network monitoring strategy, specifically traffic flow. Prometheus has a huge ecosystem and exporters of every kind. I began the process of evaluation in 2019 and installed it with a few exporters. This is a bit subjective, but I’m looking for something thats established and has a large community to help with issues.Īfter reading up on the subject a bit I initially gravitated toward prometheus. I have Arm devices, Mac’s, Android, A Qnap NAS(linux variant), and multiple Netgear GS108T Some of the devices in my network only have SNMP access. Some of my criteria for network monitoring are: Several of the devices in my network have components that could fail and cause data loss like my QNAP TS-473. I was interested in monitoring my home network not only to get better insight on network activity, but also to get better visibility of errors or device faults. Now I want to monitor metrics, specifically traffic and system load. ![]() I began by installing Graylog and sending syslog messages to a central server. I started the year wanting better visibility into my home network.
