Comment on My Grafana dashboard for monitoring my self hosted cluster.

running pods: 98
Oof, my lab is lightweight compared to yours but I’ve been thinking of putting up a grafana for mine too. Would you mind sharing how much resources it takes to run and roughly how much storage does, let’s say, a month of data take? I know that it all depends on what one puts inside but just as a reference point

kube-prometheus-stack plus VictoriaLogs for logs, about 100 pods on 2 nodes.
The whole stack uses about 2.2 GB RAM. Prometheus takes about 1.1 GB of that and Grafana about 700 MB. CPU is basically idle, around 0.2 cores.
Prometheus has about 150k series and uses about 7 GB for 15 days of metrics, so roughly 14 GB a month. Logs are about 3 GB a month. Grafana itself is under 1 GB.
It’s mostly the default exporters, so a smaller lab would need less. A 20 GB volume would be plenty.
