# A Docker Stack which Monitors your home network
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 been tested with Docker for Mac and Synology and it works.

# Quick Start

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.

For speedtest the only relevant configuration is how often you want the check to happen. It is at 5 minutes by default which might be too much if you have limit on downloads. This is changed by editing `scrape_interval` under `speedtest` in [/prometheus/prometheus.yml](./prometheus/prometheus.yml).


Once configurations are done let's start it up. From the /prometheus project directory run the following command:

    $ docker-compose up -d

That's it. docker-compose builds the entire Grafana and Prometheus stack automagically. 

The Grafana Dashboard is now accessible via: `http://<Host IP Address>:3030` for example http://localhost:3030

username - admin
password - wonka (Password is stored in the `config.monitoring` env file)

The DataSource and Dashboard for Grafana are automatically provisioned. 

If all works it should be available at http://localhost:3030/d/o9mIe_Aik/internet-connection - if no data shows up try change the timeduration to something smaller.

## Interesting urls

Note: replace `localhost` with your docker host ip/name if not running this locally.

http://localhost:9090/targets shows status of monitored targets as seen from prometheus - in this case which hosts being pinged and speedtest. note: speedtest will take a while before it shows as UP as it takes ~30s to respond.

http://localhost:9090/graph?g0.expr=probe_http_status_code&g0.tab=1 shows prometheus value for `probe_http_status_code` for each host. You can edit/play with additional values. Useful to check everything is okey in prometheus (in case Grafana is not showing the data you expect).

http://localhost:9115 blackbox exporter endpoint. Lets you see what have failed/succeded.

http://localhost:9696/metrics speedtest exporter endpoint. Does take ~30 seconds to shohw its result as it runs an actual speedtest when requested.
