Two weeks back I stood up collectd , influxdb , and grafana on linux boxes and it took about 2 hours . You may want to sit down and get the infrastructure at least logging data to influxdb so your grafana dashboards have something to show . I find the most time for the project is actually capturing the data and doing it correctly in a way that makes sense . For example , I use collectd to capture my firewall WANLAN via SNMP , but had to do a lot of double checking to verify which MiBs to query . Most of that was for me to at least learn how the framework is put together so I can stand it up at work quick . <| sep |> Yeah , it ' s a adaptation , but my point still stands . Shin is a part of a title Kaioshin <| sep |> And that ' s all that really matters . Not sucking the most .
