/me playing with #Grafana and #VictoriaMetrics to keep an eye at what happens to my #PowerDNS #dnsdist VPS hosted at #OpenBSD_Amsterdam. All those running on a mix of #OpenBSD and #OmniOS resources.

Do you know that #VictoriaMetrics and #VictoriaLogs support ingesting metrics and logs in the #OpenTelemetry format?

This guide covers:
Collecting #metrics & #logs with #opentelemetry-collector
Directly pushing from a #Go app

https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/getting-started-with-opentelemetry/

#VictoriaLogs usually needs less RAM and disk space than comparable solutions, and it performs typical queries over logs at faster speed. See these #benchmark results.

Learn in this blog post, provided by #VictoriaMetrics Co-founder Aliaksandr Valialkin, why VictoriaLogs is a great solution for #LogManagement.

We already know how storage handles data ingestion from #vminsert, turning them into “raw-row shards” in memory. However, they’re not searchable yet.
vmstorage flushes the raw-row shards data into what’s called “LSM parts”, starting with in-memory parts.
Check Phuong's latest blog post to learn How #vmstorage Processes #Data: Retention, Merging, Deduplication..

Es ist vollbracht!

Die letzte Windows VM ist jetzt aus!

Das war ein hartes Stück Arbeit.
Auf der VM lief jetzt ca. 15 Jhare lang ein #PRTG Server.

Ersetzt wurde der jetzt letztlich durch 4 #OpenSource Tools:
#Beszel - klassisches System Monitoring
#UptimeKuma - Monitoring von HTTP/S Auftritten
#Prometheus (bzw. #VictoriaMetrics) und #Grafana für Metriken, Spezialfälle und Daten, die ich Jahre oder Jahrzehnte sammeln will.

Und alle drei Systeme nutzen #ntfy für Notifications - keine E-Mails.

#VictoriaMetrics #Cloud: The game-changing, fully managed monitoring solution that cuts costs by up to 5x!

Designed to eliminate the overhead of running infrastructure, VictoriaMetrics Cloud has been a game-changer, offering the #scalability and power of the open source VictoriaMetrics time-series #database with added Enterprise features—fully managed this time.
