Here's a quick start to stand-up a Docker [Prometheus](http://prometheus.io/) stack containing Prometheus, Grafana with [blackbox-exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter) and [speedtest-exporter](https://github.com/stefanwalther/speedtest-exporter) to collect and graph home network connections and speed.
## Pre-requisites
Before we get started installing the Prometheus stack. Ensure you install the latest version of docker and [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) on your Docker host machine. This has also been tested with Docker for Mac and it works well.

## Installation
Clone the project to your Docker host.
# Quick Start
If you would like to change which targets should be monitored or make configuration changes edit the [/prometheus/prometheus.yml](./prometheus/prometheus.yml) file. The targets section is where you define what should be monitored by Prometheus. The names defined in this file are actually sourced from the service name in the docker-compose file. If you wish to change names of the services you can add the "container_name" parameter in the `docker-compose.yml` file.
If on Mac run this:
```
git clone https://github.com/maxandersen/internet-monitoring && cd internet-monitoring/prometheus && docker-compose up && open http://localhost:3030/d/o9mIe_Aik/internet-connection
```
otherwise:
```
git clone https://github.com/maxandersen/internet-monitoring
cd internet-monitoring/prometheus
docker-compose up
```
Goto [http://localhost:3030/d/o9mIe_Aik/internet-connection](http://localhost:3030/d/o9mIe_Aik/internet-connection) (change `localhost` to your docker host ip/name).
## Configuration
To change what hosts you ping you change the `targets` section in [/prometheus/pinghosts.yml](./prometheus/pinghosts.yml) file.
