Dashboard for monitoring

Hey,

i have tried out a few dashboards in the last few months, but seeing
that there is a massive amount of them i cant help but feel like i am
missing out on "the one".

I use Unraid and am interested in something that monitors resource
usage, has arr suite, jellyfin, jellyseer torrent and nzb client
integration, network usage etc.

Basically the whole shabang, not just a (admittedly great looking)
homepage to access various webuis.

Any ideas?

Thx

I'm running librenms here and working fine here.
Bit if a hassle to setup alerts
Rest is great.

Homepage have widgets for most (all?) of those services and also has
resource widgets and glances integration. Have you missed it?

Agreed, LibreNMS is a PITA to setup and to ensure all your devices are
configured with SNMP, but once done, it's great.

Dashboards are not for monitoring exactly. If you want to monitor your
metrics of your systems, you need to focus on something else. Tons of
threads about this exist there already, plus the awesome-selfhosted
lists in the sidebar, you can simply use the search. Zabbix, Netadata,
LibreNMS, Grafana/cAdvisor/Prometheus and many more options exist.

agreed. I use dashy to simply direct me to all my apps without typing
their respective addresses only. Monitoring is done with netdata. A
clear cut concern is easier to maintain.

I use [Homepage](https://github.com/gethomepage/homepage). Has
integrations with nearly every service I use and it's pretty easy to
set up

+1 for this.
I had grafana but it was too heavy - homepage has some really nice
integrations which gives you great flexibility in output and visuals
on system performance.

I use it across 4 systems (1 proxmox host and 3 VMs) with a mix of
glances and docker host monitoring.

The best bit is the flexibility of the UI (works great on mobile and
in edge sidebar).

looks really interesting, however the yaml configuration is kind of
scary

I looked around for something lightweight when prometeus and grafana
feels like overkill and remembered the glances integration in
homepage. Unfortunately glances itself adds sigificant load to my
docker host (a Synology NAS) so for now I will have to make do with
the default resource widgets in homepage and just have glances as a
stopped container that can be started on demand. It’s ironic since I
am running 15 other services that does not even put as much load on
the host as glances itself :) I’m sure it works better for bare metal
and VM hosts 🤷‍♂️

It’s a bit of a chore and the documentation is not spectacular, but
once you have got the basics working, it’s easy to add to. And it’s
leightweight and speedy.

Sounds strange.

I run glances in OS and doesn't seem to eat resources.

For me it increases load from 0-10% with 15 running docker containers
to 15-20%. Perhaps it can be tweaked because it seems to display a lot
of data by default.

Yes, you can tailor the output.

Everything can be configured via a config. I had to figure it out as
the default output doesn't include mergerfs (which I use extensively
for my NAS) - so worth it to check what you can turn off.
