# Monitoring Block {#blocks-monitoring}
|
|
|
|
Defined in [`/modules/blocks/monitoring.nix`](@REPO@/modules/blocks/monitoring.nix).
|
|
|
|
This block sets up the monitoring stack for Self Host Blocks. It is composed of:
|
|
|
|
- Grafana as the dashboard frontend.
|
|
- Prometheus as the database for metrics.
|
|
- Loki as the database for logs.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration {#blocks-monitoring-configuration}
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
shb.monitoring = {
|
|
enable = true;
|
|
subdomain = "grafana";
|
|
inherit domain;
|
|
contactPoints = [ "me@example.com" ];
|
|
adminPasswordFile = config.sops.secrets."monitoring/admin_password".path;
|
|
secretKeyFile = config.sops.secrets."monitoring/secret_key".path;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
sops.secrets."monitoring/admin_password" = {
|
|
sopsFile = ./secrets.yaml;
|
|
mode = "0400";
|
|
owner = "grafana";
|
|
group = "grafana";
|
|
restartUnits = [ "grafana.service" ];
|
|
};
|
|
sops.secrets."monitoring/secret_key" = {
|
|
sopsFile = ./secrets.yaml;
|
|
mode = "0400";
|
|
owner = "grafana";
|
|
group = "grafana";
|
|
restartUnits = [ "grafana.service" ];
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With that, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki and Promtail are setup! You can access `Grafana` at
|
|
`grafana.example.com` with user `admin` and password ``.
|
|
|
|
I recommend adding a STMP server configuration so you receive alerts by email:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
shb.monitoring.smtp = {
|
|
from_address = "grafana@$example.com";
|
|
from_name = "Grafana";
|
|
host = "smtp.mailgun.org";
|
|
port = 587;
|
|
username = "postmaster@mg.example.com";
|
|
passwordFile = config.sops.secrets."monitoring/smtp".path;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
sops.secrets."monitoring/secret_key" = {
|
|
sopsFile = ./secrets.yaml;
|
|
mode = "0400";
|
|
owner = "grafana";
|
|
group = "grafana";
|
|
restartUnits = [ "grafana.service" ];
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Since all logs are now stored in Loki, you can probably reduce the systemd journal retention
|
|
time with:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
# See https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journald.conf.html#SystemMaxUse=
|
|
services.journald.extraConfig = ''
|
|
SystemMaxUse=2G
|
|
SystemKeepFree=4G
|
|
SystemMaxFileSize=100M
|
|
MaxFileSec=day
|
|
'';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Provisioning {#blocks-monitoring-provisioning}
|
|
|
|
Self Host Blocks will create automatically the following resources:
|
|
|
|
- For Grafana:
|
|
- datasources
|
|
- dashboards
|
|
- contact points
|
|
- notification policies
|
|
- alerts
|
|
- For Prometheus, the following exporters and related scrapers:
|
|
- node
|
|
- smartctl
|
|
- nginx
|
|
- For Loki, the following exporters and related scrapers:
|
|
- systemd
|
|
|
|
Those resources are namespaced as appropriate under the Self Host Blocks namespace:

|
## Errors Dashboard {#blocks-monitoring-error-dashboard}
|
|
|
|
This dashboard is meant to be the first stop to understand why a service is misbehaving.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The yellow and red dashed vertical bars correspond to the [Requests Error Budget
|
|
Alert](#blocks-monitoring-budget-alerts) firing.
|
|
|
|
## Performance Dashboard {#blocks-monitoring-performance-dashboard}
|
|
|
|
This dashboard is meant to be the first stop to understand why a service is performing poorly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requests Error Budget Alert {#blocks-monitoring-budget-alerts}
|
|
|
|
This alert will fire when the ratio between number of requests getting a 5XX response from a service
|
|
and the total requests to that service exceeds 1%.
