Quick tip: How Prometheus can make visualizing noisy data easier
Most of us have learned the hard way that it’s usually cheaper to fix something before it breaks and needs an expensive emergency repair. Because of that, I like to keep track of what’s happening in my house so I know as early as possible if something is wrong. As part of that effort, I have a temperature sensor in my attic attached to a Raspberry Pi, which Prometheus scrapes every 15 seconds so I can view the data in Grafana.
