Solti Documentation

Welcome to the Solti Project documentation - Systems Oriented Laboratory Testing Integration.

What is SOLTI?

SOLTI is a suite of Ansible collections for managing infrastructure monitoring, testing containers, and shared services in lab and testing environments.

  • Systems: Managing system-of-systems
  • Oriented: Structured and purposeful
  • Laboratory: Controlled testing environment
  • Testing: Verification and validation
  • Integration: Component interconnection

Collections

Solti-Monitoring Collection

Comprehensive monitoring stack for metrics and logs.

Stack Components:

  • Metrics: Telegraf (collector) → InfluxDB (storage) → Grafana (visualization)
  • Logs: Alloy (collector) → Loki (storage) → Grafana (visualization)

Key Features:

  • Lab-scale focus (not enterprise-scale)
  • Sink/source architecture
  • Comprehensive Molecule testing
  • Dashboard development workflow
