New post: Monitoring our FreeBSD Mastodon instance.

burningboard.net runs as a stack of Bastille jails on FreeBSD, so I watch it from a separate box with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki. The interesting part is the FreeBSD-shaped gaps: no native ZFS metrics, nothing for the Mastodon API or our S3 media bucket. A small textfile collector fills all of it.

This is how I keep an eye on the very instance I'm writing this on:

From the engine room: Built a new overview dashboard for our Mastodon instance burningboard.net with all the important stats:

- System overview
- Sidekiq statistics
- Database health
- S3 Bucket utilization
- Mastodon statistics

Starting to look really good and helpful :-)
