I have tried Nagios, zabbix, netdata, grafana and all the possible combination of Monitoring system… but still cannot find anything like PRTG… am i the only one suffering by this? i mean the functionality of PRTG and the installation process are unbetable.
No conf file, no database or apache or rules, is just simple as it should be.
All the rest seems to be hard to maintain, condfigure and make it work.
Is the Talos you mentioned Talos Linux? Seems so from the context but just wanted to be sure.
Yup. Just my $0.02 – I wouldn’t say there’s significant benefit over running a mainstream Linux distro and dropping something like RKE2, k3s, Kind, etc on the hardware. If/when I rebuild this cluster, I’ll likely switch back to my existing Ansible roles for RKE2 on Ubuntu. I think the intersection of “people who need a very thin distro for just k8s” and “people running baremetal self-managed k8s” is pretty narrow. All the major cloud vendors already produce a thin distro of their own for “just k8s”. Choosing Talos likely adds up fast when you’re talking hundreds of clusters and thousands of nodes in colos or on-prem.
I have an ARM based cluster I use for network/CNI labbing which runs k3s on Armbian.
