**Grafana**
Grafana is an open-source data visualization and monitoring platform. It has hundreds of features embedded that can help you query from data sources like Prometheus, InfluxDB, MySQL and so on...
For todays guide I will show you how to setup a few exporters (node-exporter, smartctl) and collect their metrics with prometheus. Then visualize that data via graphana.
## NixOs
Nix makes it trivial to set up these services, as there are already predefined options for it in nixpkgs. I will give you example configuration files below that you can just copy and paste.

#### Smartctl
Smartctl is a tool included in the smartmontools package. This is a collection of monitoring tools for hard-drives, SSDs and filesystems.
This exporter enables you to check up on the health of your drive(s). And it will also give you a wall notification if one of your drives has a bad sector(s), which mainly suggests it's dying off.

I recommend setting the 5s delay to a bigger number as you can imagine it can generate a lot of data.
I recommend setting the 5s delay to a bigger number if you have little storage as you can imagine it can generate a lot of data.
~16kB average per scrape (node-exporter). 1 day has 86400 seconds, divide that by 5 thats 17280 scrapes a day.
17280 \* 16 = 276480 kB. Thats 270 megabytes a day. And if you have multiple servers that causes X times as much.
30 days of scarping is about 8 gigabytes (1x). **But remember, by default prometheus stores data for 30 days!**
