πŸ“Š Netfox now speaks Prometheus β†’ chart your network in Grafana (v0.8.0)

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

Netfox 0.8.0 is out, and it ships something that came straight from this community: a Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint. πŸ“ˆ

πŸ™ Huge thanks to @angsak6 β€” you asked us to expose Netfox's data to Prometheus so you could chart it in Grafana next to the rest of your homelab. Here it is. 🦊

⚑ Turn it on in Settings β†’ Integrations and Netfox serves /metrics in the Prometheus text format. Point

Prometheus at it, drop the series into Grafana, done.

πŸ“Š What it exposes

- πŸ”Œ Open ports per host (plus an open-port count)

- πŸ•’ When each port's state was last observed

- 🟒 Device state β€” online / offline β€” and last-seen time per device

- πŸ“Ά This Mac's network throughput (rx / tx)

- πŸ”” Alert counts by type

πŸ”’ Off by default, yours to expose

- Off by default β€” nothing listens until you opt in

- Localhost-only, unless you flip it to your LAN (so a Prometheus on your NAS can scrape it)

- Optional bearer token

- Live whenever Netfox is running β€” it stays in the menu bar, serving with the window closed

πŸ“š Setup, the full metric list, and a sample scrape config: https://netfox.app/docs/integrations

⬇️ Download / update: https://github.com/gfazioli/netfox-website/releases/tag/v0.8.0 (or Netfox β†’ Check for Updates…)

If you run Prometheus + Grafana at home, give it a spin and share your dashboards β€” I'd love to see them. πŸ“Έ And keep the requests coming: this one went from idea to shipped because someone asked. πŸ™Œ
