Life pro tip: monitor your infrastructure. Screwing around with Grafana is already paying off, I might have identified my first failing SFP+ fiber module. It's still working... but 9mA to transmit -14 dBm over a short fiber run does not match at all with any other modules I have in production and seems very wrong. I'll make sure I have a spare on hand.

Thankfully this is not a mission critical line (no Owncast instances, just a Wi-Fi AP) but nonetheless, I'm already glad I took on this project.

@logan I did not need another Grafana dashboard, but here we are. 😅

@logan some kind of issue with the dashboard though, it’s reporting 4.29gbps on the 10gbps link to my server. Another project to work on… and this dashboard doesn’t seem to include stats on the optical modules.

@piepants Yeeee I've been building my own dashboards by referencing the built in ones. Learning a lot in the process, but it's a very manual process.

@logan@social.logal.dev this is amazing. I don't know what this means AT ALL. But it sounds awesome and for someone hosting Owncast streams for fun shows an incredible passion we have on the Fediverse. Keep up the amazing work and thank you Sir
