Green Monitoring Stack

About the project
A monitoring stack with samples for collection and data exploration for sustainability purposes.
The data is collected from Network, DC (compute / storage) infrastructure, third-party devices and external sources to be able to understand the energy consumption and its relation to traffic and bandwidth, the cost and the carbon footprint of the environment at various levels of granularity.
KPIs
| Element | KPI |
|---|---|
| network device | power <br> power supply load <br> power supply efficiency <br> <br> traffic <br> bandwidth utilization <br> power consumption ratio (PCR) - reference <br> <br> CO<sub>2</sub>-eq emissions (+ historical) <br> cost |
| server | power <br> utilization <br> temperature <br> <br> CO<sub>2</sub>-eq emissions <br> cost |
| pdu | power |
| rack | power <br> TBD: temperature |
Technology stack
Architecture
Captures data from:
- IOS-XR routers
- NX-OS switches
- Meraki switches
- UCS servers
- ACI APIC
- Raritan PDUs
- Eaton PDUs
Stores data in:
- InfluxDB v2
Exposes data in:
- Grafana
Data Flow:
IOS-XR
NX-OS
Meraki
ACI APIC -> Telegraf -> InfluxDB -> Grafana
UCS: REDFISH/CIMC/UCSM

Configuration
Installation
Usage
Access
Access the two following WebUIs by replacing the HOST_IP placeholder with the reachable IP address of the host that runs the stack:
- Grafana - hosts custom visualizations.
- Influx (credentials based on .env) - for exploration of raw data.
