Setup #prometheus and #grafana on a local server and scraping #node_exporter from local and remote servers. The remote server exporters only listen on a #wireguard vpn so i don't have to open firewall rules.

I should have done this a long time ago.

Trying to figure out if the #Opentelemetry Collector's HostMetrics receiver covers all the bases when compared to #node_exporter and #windows_exporter.

Spent quite some time today trying to find out why I can't get temperature information out of my #Synology NAS.

Turns out /sys/class/hwmon exposes some kind of different structure(?). Maybe it's also because of the super outdated kernel still shipped in 2023. At least #Prometheus #node_exporter is unable to pick it up.

This took me a bit to get right so I'm adding it here for me later

I'm upstreaming a #Prometheus #node_exporter textfile collector script for #FreeBSD rc services. It collects only status information (whether a given service is running or not), but we can surely extend it in the future.
