![]() Now, looking at my Grafana browser tab I was expecting to see this Worldmap panel to be available. I installed Grafana as a snap in Ubuntu Server, so the commands needed to install this plugin were different from the documentation: sudo afana-cli plugins install grafana-worldmap-panel Eventually I figured out that the Prometheus output we got in the last stage was going to be a huge clue, so I tried this: probe_successĪnd got a list of websites with their up/down status! So having added the configuration to Prometheus and restarted it, we can check that it works from the Prometheus web front end. So instead we run: docker run -rm -d -p 9115:9115 -name blackbox_exporter \ v `pwd`:/config prom/blackbox-exporter:master \īut this just results in errors in the log, because we haven’t made a blackbox.yml file (and don’t want to). I decided to run Blackbox from a Docker image, but the documentation here says to run: docker run -rm -d -p 9115:9115 -name blackbox_exporter \ Do we configure Blackbox? Or do we configure Prometheus? Or both? My guess that configuring Prometheus would work nicely was borne out just cargo-culting the example configuration and changing the list of endpoints to poll was enough. How do we use the Blackbox Exporter? Once again, the documentation is not clear. There is of course a standard, official way to do this, but it is not obvious from the documentation. So it looks like we need some sort of exporter to translate from “can I hit /version.txt” to something Prometheus is happy with. IsoplotR does not export Prometheus metrics, but polling the /version.txt HTTP endpoint on IsoplotR’s web interface should be enough to tell if it is running. ![]() But could we add a little world map with little green or red dots for whether the various IsoplotR installations are up or down? We already have Prometheus installed on one of our machines collecting metrics from various pieces of software we have running, and we have Grafana to display nice dashboards of these metrics. UCL’s Geochronology software “ IsoplotR” is available as an R package (just the calculations or with a web GUI) or online in a number of different locations.
