The TICK stack is an app stack that contains containers that can collect, monitor, and visualize monitoring data in a time series database. We are going to look at server monitoring with a TICK stack and Grafana and see how you can install, configure, and start monitoring your environment.
Write up of TICK Stack with Docker compose example here:
