One node observability stack: Grafana, Influxdb and Loki in a docker-compose
The main purpose of Argus is to fill the gap I often encountered in monitoring strategies between:
- on premise approaches, straightforward but often impossible to reproduce programmatically
- cloud oriented approaches, highly industrialized but relying on systems hard to master or to install on premise (e.g. k8s)
In most on premise scenarios, your monitoring server does not need to be replicated, nor does it need to live on any fancy cloud service: a good old fashioned, yet intelligent pre provisioned docker-compose file is all you need. Argus is such a docker-compose file
Populate your .env file next to ./docker-compose.yaml and run docker-compose up
On every server you plan to monitor with Argus, populate your .env file next to agent/docker-compose.yaml and run docker-compose up
