Prometheus: Up & Running — Infrastructure and Application Performance Monitoring (2nd Edition)
Author / Issuing Authority: Julien Pivotto & Brian Brazil (O'Reilly) • Category: RF Comms, Electronics & Offline Compute
Build an autonomous, zero-cloud local telemetry and alerting stack polling SNMP UPS units, Room Alert sensors & Linux servers.
Why This Manual Matters in a Grid-Down Outage
Cloud-hosted monitoring dashboards go blind the moment your site WAN link drops. Running Prometheus + Alertmanager locally on a 12V Protectli N100 appliance ensures your NOC screen and local sirens work 100% offline.
Plant-Room & Field Operational Takeaway
Complete configuration guides for `snmp_exporter` (polling APC/Eaton UPS battery runtime and AVTECH Room Alert temperatures), `node_exporter`, and local Alertmanager routing.
Maintaining a physical dead-tree edition of Prometheus: Up & Running — Infrastructure and Application Performance Monitoring (2nd Edition) (ISBN-13: 978-1098131142) in your plant room, comms rack, or site incident grab-bag ensures engineers and duty wardens have immediate access to statutory tables, pinouts, and safety protocols when cloud documentation portals and corporate intranets are unreachable.
