Monitoring & Logs

To ensure stability and detect issues early, my homelab includes
a lightweight monitoring stack.

---

Tools in Use

• Netdata – real-time system metrics (CPU, RAM, disk, network)
• Grafana + Prometheus (planned) – advanced dashboards and alerting
• Unraid built-in stats – parity checks, drive health

---

Example Metrics

• CPU usage and temperature
• Memory and swap utilization
• Disk health (SMART status)
• Network traffic per interface
• Docker container resource usage

---

Roadmap

• Deploy Prometheus + Grafana
• Set up alerting via email/Telegram
• Add UPS monitoring (battery status, power events)
• Centralize logs with Loki or ELK stack
