Lightweight server monitoring

iandk

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a simple self hosted solution for uptime monitoring of servers, services and websites?
So ICMP, port check and HTTP status code.

I tried Statping but unfortunately it seems pretty buggy, is anyone here using Statping as well?
Before I continue messing around with it I want to see if there are better alternatives.

I read about PHPServerMonitor, does anyone have experiences with it?
Or can recommend a better alternative?

Thanks!

Yeah it's absolutely solid. I'm running that on a NAT box at Wishosting and it's been super reliable for many years. I didn't even realize I was running it until I read this thread.

What’s the Ressource usage like?
Thought it’s using a MySQL DB, does that even run on such small boxes?

Think I’ll just try to get Statping to work.

I have a few dozen or so services configured. It runs on 256 MB of RAM and 1 vCPU. Load is negligible.

Yes, have been running it for months. Default settings. RAM usage is less than 3 MB, that's including web server and SQLite DB.

I've only used HTTPS functionality, and it works fine for several websites. There was a minor glitch in admin UI, but it got fixed.

Used PHPServerMonitor many years ago. It worked fine but was a bit buggy. I found the cron didn't work half the time and statuses weren't actually being checked. Seems like it worked on and off, possibly a bug that got fixed though.

I’ve heard good things about Cockpit. I have yet to try it though, since I’m lazy and just use NodeQuery instead.

Oh I thought they are dead?
Haven't heard of NodeQuery for a while.

TICK stack is pretty nice, we use it internally
