how to use Cockpit and/or Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) as alert system
by Jelle de Jong
Hello everybody,
How can I use cockpit to sent me an alert when disk space goes low, CPU
load stays high, systemd status has a failure etc?
Is it possible to do this in combination with Performance Co-Pilot? I
use ansbile a lot and was hoping I could ansible to automatic add nodes
to monitoring use SSH for data collection.
I had asked this question yesterday on IRC and got the bellow reply:
"I think there may be better channels sharing info about alerting and
monitoring sysOps, but surely using an stack like grafana, prometheus,
telegraf... could help you. Or more easy, NMS engines like librenms,
zabbix... the variety options is endless"
"tuxcrafter: right, what GilObradors[m] said -- there is nothing running
when you are not logged into cockpit; it's not a permanent monitoring
solution."
Can I do permanent monitoring with cockpit? Can I set a few
alerts/notifications? If not can these features be added to cockpit and
what alternative would you recommend, I values an F/LOSS tool, nodes
easily added with ansible, preferable no daemon/agents, just SSH.
Kind regards,
