Hi @vikozo,

I think you are just finding your way with Telegraf. I suggest that you have a look at the available ready-to-use dashboards at:

There, you can import the JSON-id into your grafana server and can view different metrics. Then you can also see some more insights as e.g. how values are showing in percentage or in a table-chart etc.

Hello can you explain more?

Well it depends on what and how you define “bad” you need some sort of baseline to compare it to.

For example human body temperature: there is acceptable range for age etc.

What is your baseline for cpu, or disk space etc. You can only define that
For example 131GB for a 135gb disk is bad. etc

@yosiasz so it is more philosophy :wink:
the part which is most clear to me, is the Disk size - this part have to be watched

:laughing: to be or not to be

so if disk size, define “bad”
what percentage full is not good for you
