Looking for the Perfect Dashboard: InfluxDB, Telegraf, and Grafana – Part XXII (Monitoring Cloudflare, include beautiful Maps)

Greetings friends, since 2016 I have been showing you how to get the Perfect Dashboard using Grafana, InfluxDB, and Telegraf, we have come a long way together, and we have seen how to monitor a myriad of critical components, such as SSL, web page responses, VMware vSphere, Veeam, and much, much more.Today we return to the basics, exploring some of the more visually appealing plugins, and giving it a more personal touch, how it is to analyze Cloudflare's statistics where we have our blog, personal website, e-commerce, etc. cached.Note: There are some limitations with the Cloudflare RESTful API:
  • It doesn't always give us the answer with the date we indicate
  • From May it will be legacy, but for now, it serves us
  • With the Free version, we can only consult in ranges of Last 24 hours, Last Week, and Last Month
Once you have finished this tutorial, you will have something similar to this, it is better to give it several days or weeks to see the full potential:

VMware: How to achieve a perfect metric collection interval with Telegraf, InfluxDB and Grafana

Greetings friends, I have told you in the past how to monitor your VMware environment using InfluxDB, Telegraf, and Grafana, and according to Grafana's dashboard, you are using it with about 4300 people in your Datacenters. All this is great, and I thank you very much for all the support and that so many people have the solution deployed.Now, I have read for a long time that in some cases you were having incidents when monitoring the datastores in a correct way, which generated that the Dashboard will not display correctly, creating a lot of frustration, but this entry will ensure you have everything configured correctly.

vSphere vCenter - real-time metrics

VMware collects information every 20 seconds from the ESXi and stores this information in vCenter RAM. This makes it really easy and fast to access this information by telegraph or any other information collector. All this information is stored only for one hour in the vCenter, in the diagram we would be number 3, accessing directly to the Performance Manager:

Looking for the Perfect Dashboard: InfluxDB, Telegraf and Grafana – Part XIX (Monitoring Veeam with Enterprise Manager) Shell Script

Greetings friends, I bring you a new entry about Grafana and Veeam, which I'm sure you'll like and put in your labs. Back in 2017 I told you how they monitor Veeam using the PowerShell CMDlets and also how to do it using PowerShell and Enterprise Manager RESTful API. These entries have had tens of thousands of hits, but they were more of a proof of concept as they were missing a lot of detail.Today, I am pleased to bring you a complete and finished Dashboard to monitor Veeam Backup & Replication, without limit of servers, jobs, VMs or Repos, thanks to Veeam Enterprise Manager and its RESTful API (only in Enterprise Plus)

Veeam Enterprise Manager Dashboard

When you finish the entry you will have something similar to that Dashboard that will allow you to visualize:

Webhook Configuration in Microsoft Teams

To be able to receive notifications to a specific channel, we will have to create a Webhook in the channel we need, normally it would be a channel to receive alarms, instead of bombarding the General channel or similar.In the channels where we need notifications, imagine that we want a certain team to receive notifications of their applications, we will go to the channel - Connectors
