A recent BBC article, “Weak password allowed hackers to sink a 158-year-old company,” outlined a serious security lapse.

Use Telegraf Without the Prometheus Complexity

Jul 24, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
Every system needs observability. You need to know what your CPU, memory, disk, and network are doing, and maybe keep an eye on database query latency or Redis connection counts. But setting that up isn’t always simple. You start with a couple of shell scripts. Then come exporters. Then Prometheus. Before long, you’re managing scrape configs, tuning retention, and watching dashboards fail under load after two days of data.
