Monitor VictoriaLogs with DumbMonit

The log database itself: lines ingested, lines it refuses, disk headroom before it turns read-only, errors.

What DumbMonit watches

The time series database and the log database themselves: whether they accept what they are sent, how much disk is left before they stop accepting anything, and what they refuse.

Typical use. Log database: ingestion, refused lines, disk headroom

Examples

  • VictoriaLogs single-node

How it connects

What you need

  • Username / passwordSent as HTTP basic authentication.
  • Bearer tokenSent as "Authorization: Bearer …" on every request.

No account needed.

Network ports to open

  • 8428/TCPVictoriaMetrics HTTP API (default)
  • 9428/TCPVictoriaLogs HTTP API (default)
Setup steps: Let DumbMonit read VictoriaLogs' own health
  1. Nothing to install: check from the DumbMonit host that VictoriaLogs answers on its API port (9428 by default).

    curl http://victorialogs.lan:9428/health
  2. If it runs with -httpAuth.username and -httpAuth.password, pick Username / password below; behind vmauth or a proxy that expects a bearer token, pick Bearer token.

  3. In DumbMonit, enter the server address, for example "victorialogs.lan" or "http://10.0.0.6:9428".

Heads-up. Free disk space is what to watch: below -storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes (10 MB by default) VictoriaLogs turns read-only and refuses every new log line. DumbMonit shows the headroom left and warns under 10%.
