I do run Grafana + InfluxDB at home and I agree it’s not trivial to setup. Grafana in particular makes creating informative, easy to read graphs/dashboards a PhD worthy endeavor. Yet, I run some hobby projects that collect data and this setup is absolutely perfect for it. I even challenged myself to use SSL for the InfluxDB server (run small CA). Also, I use slack-based alerting through Grafana, for example if a disk would fill up, or something is down. So it’s really about what your needs are. And often, basic metrics about systems like CPU usage, load or network traffic doesn’t tell you anything useful or actionable.
