This exposes a number of ports on the Pi-so make sure you lock things down as you see fit on your own network-but the most important is the Grafana URL, which is: Next, I cloned the internet-monitoring project from my fork (which is tuned for Raspberry Pi) and ran the included docker-compose file: git clone
#MONITOR INTERNET UPTIME INSTALL#
I logged out and logged back in so the new group would apply, and installed docker-compose: sudo apt-get install -y libffi-dev libssl-dev python3-dev python3-pip git Once that was done, I added my pi user to the Docker group: sudo usermod -aG docker pi To prep my Pi, I had to make sure I had Docker installed, so I followed the steps: wget -O get-docker.sh So I started looking into it, and found someone already did it for me-I found the maxandersen/internet-monitoring project on GitHub, and used that (though I made a slightly modified fork that works better on Raspberry Pi). Internet Monitoring on the Piįor the first task, I had plans to build a Prometheus and Grafana-based dashboard for metrics on the Pi, and run everything inside Docker containers. So to make remote access possible, I would have to find a way to have the Pi reach out to one of my servers with a persistent connection, then I could 'tunnel' through that server from other locations to reach the Pi. The wrinkle with a Starlink-based Internet connection, though, is that SpaceX is using Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) on their network, so there won't be any kind of IPv4 address I could reach the Pi at, nor does SpaceX yet have IPv6 set up in their network. I know the Starlink app has its own monitoring, but I like to have my own fancy independent monitoring in place too. recently I acquired a Starlink 'Dishy', and I'm going to be installing it at a rural location near where I live, but since it's a bit of a drive to get to it, I wanted to set up a Raspberry Pi to monitor the Starlink connection quality over time. They don't have to be completed on a certain holiday.So. In this series, we call out current holidays and give you the chance to earn the monthly SpiceQuest badge! SpiceQuest August - Of Sparks and Serpents Holidays.Would I have any issues if I linked a Ubiquiti aggregation switch to another? We have some fiber runs in our building, but there isn’t enough runs to supply all my switch locations and a couple of the runs are too long for 10gig. Linking Ubiquiti Aggregation Switches Best Practices & General IT.Of late, I've been doing some research on the security advantages or drawbacks of IPv6 vis a vis IPv4, the reason for this being that I'm particularly interested in the issues of topology concealment and configuration portability (i.e.
#MONITOR INTERNET UPTIME PRO#
#MONITOR INTERNET UPTIME FREE#
The free version is obviously just http monitoring, no problem.
How can they tell me if the internet is down if there is a blackhole on the inbound firewall? No pings, no port forwarding to web server, nothing. This looks like a good tool, but will not work in this situation directly I think.
Have all of our locations monitored therein. We are using and are quite happy with their efficiency on the free model (30 mins scans).
