Docker Dashboard Using Grafana, Prometheus & Node Exporter

I've been wanting to get into Grafana dashboards for a while, so here we go!

This is much easier to setup than I originally thought it would be and we can do it in about 5 steps.

So much more modern looking than the previous rpi-monitor. Thank you!

[AndersQvist]

Again, thanks for a intuitive, and easy-to-follow guide. It did of course now work the 1st time, but after some trouble-shooting a copy-paste error was discovered and now I have page showing my shiny stats!

[Farizno]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm really enjoying the series.

[Matrox]

Thank you man, was really painless to setup, nice !

[amiguirigillo]

Thanks! I really no have any idea how works, well that before see your video, thanks! keep sharing cool things like this.

[Tivrest]

The best Youtube tuto for Grafana and it's again DB Tech. Thanks a lot friend.

[GorkemYildirim]

Followed all steps, working fine. Thanks alot.

[JohanovskyT]

Thx for this guide. It helped me a lot!

[canichos]

Great info! Love all your raspberry pi stuff. Im running now 27 containers on one of my rasp4 including HA, nodered, and so much more, learned a lot from you! Many thanks!

[TheBeardedLibertarian]

nice video, used stacks to deploy this, worked after only a few ds moves :)

[jeffrisdon]

Very Cool! Thank You!! Also love your website! All kinds of cool stuff!

[vincent.borreux]

Thanks a lot. Very impressive dashboard and monitoring tool !!!!

[JimMTVVlogs]

Really great tutorial!

I just want to ask, how can we add another server in the same dashboard? Is there an easy way doing that?

[lawsnewton]

Your Pi was probably having DNS issues as I did not need to use an IP on my install.
Thank you for the guide this is Awesome!!!

[nordinekhalfoun]

A great Thanks !! Can you do a video on monitoring different hosts with prometheus and Grafana ?

[JuanaMeloUnicEducation]

Hello David, can do another video showing how to scrape data from containers? as far I could understand Node export only collects data from the host itself but not of the containers, it would be great if you create a video showing how to collect metrics of the containers

[ShayneChambers]

Great video. I like your channel. I have prometheus running on another host in a truenas jail which has its own up address. I get the website with metrics. I have grafana running in a container on a ubuntu server. It seems that the grafana server cannot connect to node exporter in Prometheus on truenas. Any ideas why? It seems that grafana can’t connect to the external network. I’m new to docker/rancher/kubernetes. Thx bud

[Seabassxb]

Would it be possible to monitor devices not using docker ? I have a pi using steam link which can't be run in docker and would like to see performance

[breakwin]

Could you have a look at selfhosting Clockify in a docker container? would love a tutorial :)

[majorgear]

I used your macvlan videos to containerize and centralize around 10 of my apps running in separate linux containers (lxc’s) on a single system.

However, some remaining apps need to be Internet accessible, so I think I’ll put them on a separate node using wireguard to connect them to my internet accessible vps.

So, I’ll want to have metrics from multiple systems sent to prometheus and available to grafana for “dashboarding” .

Is there a video on how to set things up to monitor multiple docker nodes/hosts ?

Also, a video on alerting would be great as well. While containerizing apps,
found an app that hadn’t been able to connect to it’s data source for 5 months! I had no clue it was broken until I migrated it to docker.
