Monitoring

Docker​

Use the Synology DSM's Package Center to download and install Docker:

Docker

The installation will create a Shared Folder called docker: /volume1/docker

Prometheus​

Create a directory for the image​

Connect (SSH) to the Synology NAS, you should see something like:

admin@nas-1:~$

Create the directory for the Prometheus image:

cd /volume1/docker
mkdir prometheus

Configure Prometheus​

Create a configuration file for Prometheus:

nano prometheus.yml

And update it as follows:

global:
  scrape_interval: 15s

  external_labels:
    monitor: "stake-pool-monitor"

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: "Prometheus"
    scrape_interval: 5s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["192.168.101.3:12798"]
        labels:
          alias: "Relay 1"
          type: "cardano-node"
      - targets: ["192.168.101.3:9100"]
        labels:
          alias: "Relay 1"
          type: "node"
      - targets: ["192.168.101.4:12798"]
        labels:
          alias: "Relay 2" 
          type: "cardano-node"
      - targets: ["192.168.101.4:9100"]
        labels:
          alias: "Relay 2"
          type: "node"
      - targets: ["192.168.101.5:12798"]
        labels:
          alias: "Relay 3"
          type: "cardano-node"
      - targets: ["192.168.101.5:9100"]
        labels:
          alias: "Relay 3"
          type: "node"
      - targets: ["192.168.102.3:12798"]
        labels:
          alias: "Core Node 1"
          type: "cardano-node"
      - targets: ["192.168.102.3:9100"]
        labels:
          alias: "Core Node 1"
          type: "node"
