• Red Hat Based Distro this configurations is for system with Red Hat based distro such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky Linux and Alma Linux.
• Debian Based Distro this configurations is for system with Debian based distro such as Debian and Ubuntu server.

if you're a newbie learning about container i suggest you using Debian base distro as the starting point.

Instructions

Make sure before you use this configurations Docker already installed in your machine For tutorial installing Docker you can go to the Docker Official Documentations

Debian

• Clone the Repository https://github.com/mirwanasikin/monitoring_tool.
• cd into Debian and look for the file with name compose.yaml
• Inside the directory do docker compose up -d
• Make sure all the container are running by typing docker ps
• After the container is running open your browser and type http://localhost:9090/targets if you're using vm go to http://IP_VM:9090:targets make sure Prometheus and Node Exporter are up
• Then go to http://localhost:3000 or http://IP_VM:3000 to go into Grafana menu.
• Inside Grafana menu go search data source and find Prometheus.
• When the Prometheus asking for url just type http://prometheus:9090
• save and test.
• Go into the dashboard, choose add dashboard and choose import.
• import 1860 and okay
• Congratulations you already install Prometheus, Grafana and Node Exporter into your machine using container.

RHEL

• Clone the Repository https://github.com/mirwanasikin/monitoring_tool.
• Unlike Debian, this Docker-based installation requires installing Node Exporter on the host. You can read more about this in the official Prometheus Documentations.
• cd into RHEL and look for the file with name compose.yaml
• Inside the directory do docker compose up -d
• Make sure all the container are running by typing docker ps
• After the container is running open your browser and type http://localhost:9090/targets if you're using vm go to http://IP_VM:9090:targets make sure Prometheus and Node Exporter are up
• Then go to http://localhost:3000 or http://IP_VM:3000 to go into Grafana menu.
• Inside Grafana menu go search data source and find Prometheus.
• When the Prometheus asking for url just type http://localhost:9090 or if you're using VM use http://IP_VM:9090
• save and test.
