FAQPage Schema
How do I set up self-hosted monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana on a VPS?▼

Self-hosted monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana on a VPS is configured by deploying the stack via the Strut CLI, initializing metric collection, visualization dashboards, and alert routing.

What is the best way to monitor multiple VPS instances from a single Grafana dashboard?▼

Monitoring multiple VPS instances from a single Grafana dashboard is achieved by configuring cross-VPS monitoring, utilizing node exporters and optional SSH tunnels to aggregate metrics into a central Prometheus instance.

How do I configure Alertmanager to route Prometheus alerts to Slack or email?▼

Configuring Alertmanager to route Prometheus alerts involves setting up alert channels like email, Slack, or webhooks, and defining routing rules to ensure timely health notifications for your stacks.

Do I need node exporters to collect metrics for cross-VPS monitoring?▼

Node exporters are required to effectively collect system metrics for cross-VPS monitoring, feeding data into Prometheus so Grafana can accurately visualize the health of your deployed stacks.

Can I deploy Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager together for stack health observation?▼

Yes, you can deploy Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager together to observe stack health, collect metrics, and route alerts across VPS environments using the Strut CLI for initialization.
