When working with sensitive data in Terraform and attempting to iterate over it using for_each, you might encounter the ‘Sensitive Value’ error, which prevents direct usage of sensitive values : Sensitive values, or values derived from sensitive values, cannot be used as for_each arguments. Problem with for_each Say we have a secret that’s…

Introduction Prometheus and Grafana are powerful tools for monitoring and visualizing data. However, running queries against large datasets can sometimes be slow. Caching can help to improve query performance by storing the results of frequently-run queries in memory. …

Variable validations allow you to ensure that the values passed to your Terraform variables meet certain criteria before the resources are created. You can add a validation block to your variable definition, which contains a condition that must evaluate to true for the variable value to be considered valid. …

Introduction Syslog logging is a widely used method for collecting and storing log data. It is a standard that is supported by many applications and platforms. In this blog post, we will take a look at the basics of syslog parsing with Fluentd. What Is Syslog? Syslog is a protocol used for collecting log…

In this blog post, we will discuss how to set up monitoring and alerting for Nginx ingress in a Kubernetes environment.

Helm packages, called charts, contain all the necessary resources and configuration for deploying an application on a Kubernetes cluster. As with any software project, it’s important to…

I’ve recently got a gaming laptop and monitoring the CPU & GPU temperature of it has been a tedious task, like install MSI Afterburner, configure statistics server, configure overlay etc. That made me use Grafana’s product suite to configure monitoring of key components such as CPU, GPU, Network, Disk and…

In this article, we’ll see how to set up Grafana with a remote database so that we can scale it to N instances. The default SQLite database will not work with scaling beyond 1 instance, since the SQLite3 DB is embedded inside Grafana container. Create Remote PostgreSQL using fly.io (Optional) For this demonstration, I’ll be using…
