Depends
To me this is where SNMP traps shine, its quite specifically its purpose. Which means alloy, logstash, snmptrapd + promtail, logstashetc. Which fits best depends on what youre doing, I personally lean simple first. Do you want traps by themselves? Remote logs? Do you have a device thats already handling relays that can be triggered? How does the UPS connect? If its serial or USB over to a dedicated machine, that machine should log and send upstream.

They played a good bit fast and loose with their claims some time back (even pulling a few things after an “oopsie - decimal point in the wrong spot!” type issue), and I kind of wrote them off after that. I’ll have to check in on them again.

Prometheus and Grafana are my typical recommendation there, with the podman exporter. Prometheus for time series data, Grafana to visualize and alert.
One thing I think many folks get wrong is thinking about Grafana (or any other dashboard) as the way to watch for problems, but that requires you to look at them. They should be thought of as a way to evaluate for conditions that there was a problem, then create an alert based on the indicators. This way you can address it before it becomes a problem, or at a minimum be aware that conditions are leading toward a problematic state.
If its repeatable and managed with a container restart or something, you can automate that from the alert, and never have to look again.
If its something you can’t control (for example, availability of a 3rd party service), you can use it as a way to be notified of the status change. I have a custom exporter I wrote for work to keep track of some services that result in a bunch of posts to Teams by people asking if its working for them. So I have an automation that posts to Teams when a service has a problem so my IT guy doesn’t need to respond to all of them individually.
So I’d recommend focusing on good alerts and automations over beautiful dashboards first (though dashboards can be a lot of fun to make!)

It seems to me like you don’t really want historic metrics.
Youre not looking for an observability platform, more a resource monitor like btop. Whether its btop.or one of the other variations of top, there are a lot of them with heavy customization options.
I’d recommend starting there to figure out what you want/need.
- Comment on Observability 2 days ago:
Depends on what youre trying to track, but prom can track whatever you want and grafana can display it. You may also want LPG monitoring ad well, which you can also feed in - grafana is just display.
The metrics you want to look at are the big question though.
- Comment on Dying of prosperity, 14TB HDD left unused 4 days ago:
I’d be more worried about not using it, personally.
That said, storing videos isn’t the only use. I have a… fairly large NAS, and it has photos/videos I’ve taken (including the raws for some of my dslr photos), its the storage for my VMs, where my backups are stored (really a different NAS but appropriate for the discussion here) which are then backed up elsewhere as well, local git repos, etc, etc.
Is streaming all you do? If so, no, you don’t need it.
But if you do anything else, its a good place to store that data.

You can check the pattern, but those ears should mount just fine on it.

- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (7 August 2026) 2 weeks ago:
Actually given that, if you have a weekly with AI as part of it, tagging [AIT] will allow people to filter it out.
Its pretty ancillary to the newsletter itself so its not really required, but just to mention… if it were tagged, any low effort comments like “slop” or similar would then be removed. I don’t really see that on your posts in general though, so more a thought for later should it become a problem.

- Comment on Why do people host RSS? 2 weeks ago:
Telemetry is one reason.
Not having to worry about the service shutting down (Google Reader) is another.
Synced read status is a common one as well.
You may also use it in combination with another service to create RSS feeds for sites that dont have one.
Honestly having it not just get killed like Google Reader is a big chunk of the userbase.
- Comment on Visibility of NFS exports 2 weeks ago:
No, /24 is just 256 IPs.
192.168.0.0/24 = 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0, or 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254.
If you want 192.168.0.0 through, say, 192.168.7.254, you need to cover 2k ip’s, which is a /21. The mask would be 255.255.248.0.
A /24 would only be the last octet.

If its a single image, I’d agree. If its a compose with multiple images though, better off combining into a single lxc or VM.

I got so annoyed when work tossed a system with that case. It was supposed to be set aside, but someone missed the memo.
- Comment on Finally happish with my all-in-one homelab (20+ services and way too much tinkering) 3 weeks ago:
Proxmox supports OCI containers natively now
As of 9.1, and kind of. To be clear what its doing is not a drop-in replacement for docker, but using that image as a basis for an lxc - so you’re not just pulling a new image to update, more like re-deploying, so keep your stored data elsewhere, outside of the lxc. So what was handled by pulling an image or a change to a compose is done manually in proxmox now, but it does make things like backups/snapshots much more consistent and proxmox-native.

- Comment on photon selfhosted lemmy client is absolutely nice 3 weeks ago:
If you waited long enough to get past the account duration requirement and it was open source, where people could evaluate and comment on what they see, yes.
If it were paid/closed source, then no, not without using that alt constantly to meet the requirements.
The point in the first place was the large influx in promo postings that were made, as well as create filterable tags for users who are or are not interested in seeing AIT or AIP. It also means for those who create an AI involved project, no matter the level, aren’t being bombarded with low effort, one word disparaging comments.
If you have another idea, or some way you believe a third person can have any realistic insight to provide a disclosure, you are welcome to create a meta discussion on it as there were for rules 7 & 8 already.
- Comment on photon selfhosted lemmy client is absolutely nice 3 weeks ago:
Its required for self promotion, there is no way for a third party to know the details to tag and disclose.
It would be like posting plex feature updates. There is no way for the poster to know whether or not any AI was used in development (though given the Plex trajectory, we all know, but thats a different matter).
