Best monitoring strategy for production

Since monitor.xxxxx() functions are very strict, the only solution seems to go low-level and directly writing/parsing _monitoring bucket. But quite frankly, I don’t think that’s gonna be very performant on large scale platforms. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

I don’t want to steer you in the wrong direction. Let me see if I can get some help from the Flux team. Your questions have been great.

Your post (InfluxDB Tech Tips | Using Tasks & Checks for Monitoring with InfluxDB) explains the monitoring workflow process and what monitor.check() internally does, but it doesn’t describe how to parse _monitoring.statuses.

It does, but it’s a small bit
The example is:

Check: ${ r._check_name } is:${string(v: r._battery_level)}
