I was thinking about setting up a monitoring of a Tor-Relay using Telegraf,
InfluxDB and Grafana. Although I did read quite some documenation about it
already I thought it might be good to check for possible experiences made here
before spending (wasting) too much time trying it out myself.
Questions I could not answer yet myself include e.g.
- What will be the performance impact of running Telegraf on a Tor-Realy (CPU,
disk, I/O,...)?
- What happens if the InfluxDB (running on another system) is not reachable
(maintenance, outages) - is the data lost or buffered somehow?
- I would like to also keep see old/historical data but not as granular as more
recent data - is there any way to boild down old data, e.g. to only keep hourly
data for data older that a month etc.?
There are an overwhelmingly number of monitoring possibilities (munin, collecd,
monit, nyx, RRDtool, Cacti, Monitorix, Nagios, Zabbix,...) out there and one
could easily spend days if not weeks with reading and testing. So any kind of
shared experiences, hints or tips are more than welcome.
