As in, when I watched YouTube tutorials, I often see YouTubers have a small widget on their desktop giving them an overview of their ram usage, security level, etc. What apps do you all use to track this?

    No, they serve different purposes. Loki is for logs, Prometheus is for metrics. Grafana helps to visualize data from both.

      What about InfluxDB? I hear that mentioned around Grafana a lot.

        InfluxDB is just a storage. If you have a service that saves metrics to InfluxDB (IIRC, Proxmox can do that), Grafana can read it from there. Grafana can aggregate data from many sources, Prometheus+Loki+InfluxDB+even queries to arbitrary JSON APIs etc.
