Got my first neocaridinas yesterday! The new tank has been cycling for six weeks and the water parameters have been good for the last three weeks, so I decided it was past time to add more livestock to the tank so the Nerite doesn’t get lonely. I decided on Yellow Golden Backs because I thought they’d stand out in my tank, and ordered 20 from LVexoticfish.com. I have to give them props - as advertised, all the shrimp arrived alive. ...

Store NUT metrics in Prometheus so we can display them with Grafana

I ordered a second UPS because thanks to PeaNUT, I saw that my current UPS is only providing 20 minutes of uptime. Unfortunately, as of this post, PeaNUT will only read one UPS’ metrics from Network UPS Tools per PeaNUT instance, so I’m going to start scraping the metrics into Prometheus and displaying them with Grafana. Here’s how I did it. ...
