How to monitor Starlink with Prometheus

In this article, you’ll learn how Starlink works in a domestic environment, and how to monitor Starlink connection with Prometheus. SpaceX’s Starlink uses satellites in low-earth orbit to provide high-speed Internet services to most of the planet. During the beta, Starlink expects users to see data speeds vary from 50Mb/s to 150Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms. It’s also expected that there will be brief periods of no connectivity at all.
