# Prometheus **🟡 Monitoring Service** ## 📋 Service Overview | Property | Value | |----------|-------| | **Service Name** | prometheus | | **Host** | homelab-vm (192.168.0.210) | | **Port** | 9090 | | **URL** | `http://192.168.0.210:9090` | | **Docker Image** | `prom/prometheus` | | **Compose File** | `hosts/vms/homelab-vm/monitoring.yaml` | | **Targets** | 14 active (all hosts via node_exporter + SNMP) | ## 🎯 Purpose Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit. ## 🚀 Quick Start ### Prerequisites - Docker and Docker Compose installed - Basic understanding of REDACTED_APP_PASSWORD - Access to the host system (setillo) ### Deployment ```bash # Navigate to service directory cd setillo/prometheus # Start the service docker-compose up -d # Check service status docker-compose ps # View logs docker-compose logs -f prometheus ``` ## 🔧 Configuration ### Docker Compose Configuration ```yaml command: - --storage.tsdb.retention.time=60d - --config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml container_name: Prometheus cpu_shares: 768 healthcheck: test: wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:9090/ || exit 1 hostname: prometheus-docker image: prom/prometheus mem_limit: 1g networks: - prometheus-net ports: - 12090:9090 restart: on-failure:5 security_opt: - no-new-privileges=true user: 1027:100 volumes: - /volume1/docker/prometheus/prometheus:/prometheus:rw - /volume1/docker/prometheus/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml:ro ``` ### Environment Variables No environment variables configured. ### Port Mappings | Host Port | Container Port | Protocol | Purpose | |-----------|----------------|----------|----------| | 12090 | 9090 | TCP | Prometheus metrics | ### Volume Mappings | Host Path | Container Path | Type | Purpose | |-----------|----------------|------|----------| | `/volume1/docker/prometheus/prometheus` | `/prometheus` | bind | Data storage | | `/volume1/docker/prometheus/prometheus.yml` | `/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml` | bind | Configuration files | ## 🌐 Access Information Service ports: 12090:9090 ## 🔒 Security Considerations - ✅ Security options configured - ✅ Non-root user configured ## 📊 Resource Requirements No resource limits configured ### Recommended Resources - **Minimum RAM**: 512MB - **Recommended RAM**: 1GB+ - **CPU**: 1 core minimum - **Storage**: Varies by usage ### Resource Monitoring Monitor resource usage with: ```bash docker stats ``` ## 🔍 Health Monitoring ✅ Health check configured **Test Command**: `wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:9090/ || exit 1` ### Manual Health Checks ```bash # Check container health docker inspect --format='{{.State.Health.Status}}' CONTAINER_NAME # View health check logs docker inspect --format='{{range .State.Health.Log}}{{.Output}}{{end}}' CONTAINER_NAME ``` ## 🚨 Troubleshooting ### Common Issues **Service won't start** - Check Docker logs: `docker-compose logs service-name` - Verify port availability: `netstat -tulpn | grep PORT` - Check file permissions on mounted volumes **Can't access web interface** - Verify service is running: `docker-compose ps` - Check firewall settings - Confirm correct port mapping **Performance issues** - Monitor resource usage: `docker stats` - Check available disk space: `df -h` - Review service logs for errors **Metrics not collecting** - Check target endpoints are accessible - Verify configuration syntax - Check network connectivity ### Useful Commands ```bash # Check service status docker-compose ps # View real-time logs docker-compose logs -f prometheus # Restart service docker-compose restart prometheus # Update service docker-compose pull prometheus docker-compose up -d prometheus # Access service shell docker-compose exec prometheus /bin/bash # or docker-compose exec prometheus /bin/sh ``` ## 📚 Additional Resources - **Official Documentation**: Check the official docs for prometheus - **Docker Hub**: [prom/prometheus](https://hub.docker.com/r/prom/prometheus) - **Community Forums**: Search for community discussions and solutions - **GitHub Issues**: Check the project's GitHub for known issues ## 🔗 Related Services Services REDACTED_APP_PASSWORD prometheus: - Grafana - Prometheus - Uptime Kuma - Node Exporter --- *This documentation is auto-generated from the Docker Compose configuration.
