Thanks. Your posts videos are very useful when trying other monitoring tools and approaches!

It's a very good video, very clean and organized.

[chasim]

Thanks Great Video as always, lot of learning

[pjj]

Excellent tutorial and I have implemented as it is and worked like charm. Keep going bro.

I misspoke; this particular nginx prometheus exporter must be installed on the same VM compared to the kafka exporter, where you can specify multiple brokers.

Hi @Anton Putra,

Could you please make a similar video on k8s cluster to monitor Nginx with Prometheus and Grafana using fluentd.! It would be of great help.

[TheArpitkoberoi]

fluentd is resource hungry.
The CPU usage slowly kept rising over 8-9 hours and suddenly spiked the memory from 1G to 8G crashing the nginx server itself causing downtime in production.
This happened when the nginx server was handling just 5-6RPS.

Great video, can you make a video how to do something similar with nginx-ingress in K8s? I think it will be very useful

[davidef.]

Very nice tutorial, thanks 👍
Side note: I'm just wondering why you don't use Ansible or any other CM (config management) tool to install and configure all the dependencies ?!?

Great video @anton

[antgod]

*Sorry for my bad english

[MeroCasulli]

Amazing video, thank you!

I have the following error while importing the 2nd group of panels:

"Failed to upgrade legacy queries Datasource r_9gjRp4z was not found"

how can i fix it? thanks

Which capability Fluntbit does not have? Can you bit more clear on it please.
Fluentbit which run as daemon set, hence should be able to read parse the log stream of Nginx?

@Anton Putra Nice video content. Followed through but noticed at the end that the imported fluentd dashboard failed with the error `Templating Failed to upgrade legacy queries` and was not able to display anything. Any idea what could be the problem as other dashboard i imported via ID worked fine or is there a way to convert from JSON to ID?

[mechrono]

using docker-compose would have been a massive time and complexity saver in this project.

[nahuszna]

I find it hard to understand your pwd as it's not shown in the terminal :(

Otherwise awesome material thanks Anton!

[fazlurrahmatullah]
