This is the pinout for Dell motherboards found on Vostro 270 / Inspiron 660 motherboards (on possibly others). I found the pins for : power switch, hdd LED, power LED that need to be connected to the case.

Grafana not showing mount points containing dot in name in Disk Space plugin

Categories:

Linux

by Bogdan

I use Grafana and Prometheus to monitor my home server running on Ubuntu 16.04 x32 (Atom N270 CPU). I noticed that my external USB HDD is shown in Disk Space dashboard, but only in Mountpoint Usage graph. I only see the graph with the percentage.

TP Link HS110 smartplug linux monitoring with Grafana

The TP-Link HS110 smartplug has a mobile app that is not very useful. Digging through the internet i found a few scripts that can read data from it. I used a script with Grafana and Prometheus and made a nice dashboard with the collected data.

I’ve encountered this error message on a CentOS 7 system, the next day after i’ve enrolled it in freeIPA. Until then, SSH from it to other hosts worked fine.
