How to Configure syslog-ng for Centralised Syslog on RHEL 7 Every Linux system generates a continuous stream of log data from the kernel, system services, and applications. On a single host, rsyslog handles this adequately, but when you need to aggregate logs from dozens or hundreds of servers into a central repository, filter them intelligently, […]
How to Install Jaeger for Distributed Tracing on RHEL 7 As systems evolve from monoliths to microservices, understanding the path of a single request across dozens of services becomes increasingly difficult using traditional logs and metrics alone. Jaeger is an open-source distributed tracing platform originally developed by Uber Technologies and now hosted by the Cloud […]
How to Set Up OpenTelemetry Collector on RHEL 7 OpenTelemetry is the emerging industry standard for collecting telemetry data — traces, metrics, and logs — from applications and infrastructure. The OpenTelemetry Collector acts as a vendor-agnostic pipeline component that receives telemetry from instrumented applications, processes it, and exports it to one or more backends such […]
How to Monitor MySQL with Percona Monitoring and Management on RHEL 7 Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is a free, open-source platform for monitoring MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. It combines Grafana dashboards, Prometheus metrics collection, and Query Analytics (QAN) into a single integrated UI. Unlike generic monitoring tools, PMM understands database internals and surfaces […]
How to Install and Configure Nagios Core on RHEL 7 Nagios Core is one of the most widely deployed open-source infrastructure monitoring systems in the world. It provides comprehensive monitoring of hosts, services, and network devices, alerting administrators when things go wrong and when they recover. On RHEL 7, setting up Nagios Core from source […]
How to Install InfluxDB and Telegraf on RHEL 7 InfluxDB is a purpose-built time series database optimised for the high-write workloads that are typical in infrastructure monitoring, IoT data collection, and application performance tracking. Unlike general-purpose databases, InfluxDB stores measurements indexed by timestamp and tag values, enabling sub-millisecond queries across billions of data points. Telegraf […]
How to Set Up Grafana Alerting and Notification Channels on RHEL 7 Grafana’s alerting system transforms your monitoring dashboards from a passive display into an active early-warning network. When a metric crosses a threshold — CPU saturation, disk exhaustion, an elevated error rate — Grafana fires an alert and routes a notification to whichever channels […]
How to Configure Prometheus Node Exporter on RHEL 7 Prometheus Node Exporter is the de facto standard agent for exposing hardware and operating system metrics from Linux servers to a Prometheus monitoring server. It collects data on CPU usage, memory consumption, disk I/O, filesystem space, network traffic, running systemd services, and much more, all via […]
How to Set Up Loki and Promtail for Log Aggregation on RHEL 7 Loki is a horizontally scalable, highly available log aggregation system developed by Grafana Labs. Unlike traditional log management solutions that index the full text of every log line, Loki indexes only the metadata labels attached to each log stream. This makes it […]
How to Install Graylog for Centralised Log Management on RHEL 7 Centralised log management is essential for any production environment. When servers, applications, and network devices each write logs independently, troubleshooting incidents becomes painfully slow. Graylog solves this by aggregating logs from every source into a single, searchable platform. Built on top of MongoDB and […]
