Monitor Your InfluxDB Open Source Instances with InfluxDB Cloud

This blog post discusses how to monitor your InfluxDB Open Source Instances with InfluxDB Cloud. It provides an architecture overview for deploying a Telegraf sidecar that sits next to your InfluxDB instance, scraping Prometheus metrics from each instance and pushing them to a centralized InfluxDB Cloud account. The post also covers setting up InfluxDB OSS, deploying and configuring Telegraf, combining the information in InfluxDB Cloud, adding a deadman alert, and getting notified. It concludes by emphasizing that this setup can be customized to monitor for other important events and provides an easy way to add monitoring to on-prem deployments of InfluxDB OSS instances.
