Hallo Karlsruhe! Kurz ins Hotel, dann ab zum Zkm zur #gpn23 🙌 17:50 dann mein Talk zu #prometheus 🎉

If you want to run #Prometheus Node Exporter in a container, you (most likely) need to do some adjustments to the udev path - or it will run into an error.

Luckily node_exporter allows to change the udev path with a specific parameter.

Ran into this problem in a #GitLab pipeline.

If you're looking for a #Prometheus #Exporter with total system power consumption of your #MacMini or recent #AppleSilicon hardware-without-a-battery you're looking for this Rust project.

It uses SMC value "PSTR" (with little documentation except this one) in an intelligent way: by sampling the value often and accumulating a counter value based on energy (1 Joule = 1 Watt per second = 1/3600 Wh) so that the value is the best approximation even if scraped rarely.

Most other project either use the battery metrics (which don't work when plugged in) or powermetrics which only account for about 30%-40% of the total power consumption.

PS: I'm not really an Apple fan myself, quite the contrary, but I wanted to experiment with self-histed #LLM and nowadays a MacMini is overwhelmingly superior to any other low-cost option when considering performance/Watt.

Je suis en train de monter mon #homelab mais la question qui me tourmente, c'est la supervision.
#cacti ? #librenms ? #prometheus ?
Autre ?
Je cherche quelque chose de simple qui me permettent d'ajouter une machine et d'alerter sur des seuils d'alerte.
J'ai commence avec #prometheus, qui me semble tres bien, mais j'ai pas envie de passer du temps sur grafana pour creer un dashboard.
Des propositions ?

What is Prometheus?
Prometheus is an open-source, systems monitoring and alerting toolkit designed to collect and analyze metrics from servers, applications, and services. Initially developed at SoundCloud, Prometheus is now a popular Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project widely adopted in cloud-native environments.

2025-06-13 Inventor's Notebook
Half of today will be more lab setup and cleaning, the other half turning my many notes from this week into evergreen notes in #obsidian . I have all the old raspberry pi 3s running device monitoring tasks and running node exporter to my Prometheus server. Now every major service running in the lab can be seen from one place #prometheus . Soon I will monitor logs with #promtail and #loki for most nodes in the lab.

Prometheus (2012) ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ https://trakt.tv/movies/prometheus-2012 #Prometheus #trakt

I'm watching Prometheus (2012) https://trakt.tv/movies/prometheus-2012 #Prometheus #trakt

Diese Brüder zerstören die Welt

Der #Klimawandel ist real, seine Folgen immer sichtbarer und doch nimmt die öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit für diese globale Krise immer mehr ab. Wir decken auf, was die US-Milliardäre Charles und David #Koch damit zu tun haben.

Seit Jahrzehnten beeinflussen die Koch-Brüder mit ihrem #fossilen Imperium Koch Industries gezielt #Wissenschaft, #Medien und #Politik, um #Klimaschutz zu verhindern – und das nicht nur in den USA, sondern auch bei uns in #Deutschland. Dabei ist schon alleine die Gründungsgeschichte der Firma spektakulär:

In den ersten Berufsjahren ließ sich Fred C. Koch, Vater der beiden Brüder, auf Deals mit #Stalin und #Hitler ein!

Von #Nazi-Raffinerien über libertäre Think Tanks bis hin zum deutschen #Klimawandelleugner-Netzwerk rund um die #AfD und Denkfabriken wie #EIKE oder das #Prometheus Institut: Das ist die Geschichte der Koch-Brothers, die bis in den #Bundestag reicht.

I recently made two big changes to my observability stack:

1. I realized that I don't need to run 3 pods of Prometheus, each taking up about 4GB of ram. This cut resource consumption to 1/3.
2. Switched to Deckhouse Prom++, which cut the single instance to about 1/10.

Habe gerade Peter #Sloterdijks „Die Reue des Prometheus“ gelesen. Der knapp 80 Seiten umfassende Text basiert auf eine Rede, die Sloterdijk für dieses Buch erweitert hat, und beschreibt aus historisch-philosophischer Sicht und auf abstrakte, sprachlich präzise Weise unter Rekurs auf den #Prometheus-Mythos die Haupt-Krise unserer Zeit: Die globale Brandstiftung als Ursache der Klimakrise - oder: von der reinen Muskelkraft zu fossil betriebenen Verbrennungskraftmaschinen. Sehr lesenswert! #Mitwelt

Rewatching the #Alien series because i think it's dope and Alien: Earth is coming soon

#Prometheus is a lot better than i remember. i really love Ridley Scott.

barring a few clearly stupid, injected moments that tonally tell me they're from another writer and studio intervention, it's a pretty sick #scifi #film

#movies

Yay. 🥳
Ab #resticprofile 0.31.0 gibt's jetzt #restic -metriken für #Prometheus. Ausprobiert, funktioniert. 🥳

PromQL-Query z.B.

restic_build_info{version!="0.18.0"}

War ein Feature, was ich mir gewünscht hatte.
