Alternatives to Nagios Monitoring?

evnix

What other self hosted monitoring solution do you use or recommend.

I can think of, NetData and Prometheus

mfs

Installed Prometheus+grafana and it looks amazing! and is super easy to get it up and running.

Here is a screenshot of one of my nodes:

You can try Zabbix. Many companies are using it. Also, Zenoss is a good option, but it's a paid one.

I am lazy, just staying with hetrixtools

If it should be easy to setup and use you could try Centrion. The free solution should be enough for you.

can recommend icinga2, really nice setup, easy to automate, web ui does what it is supposed to.
Can be integrated with grafana and looks really nice.

also, if you dont want to setup much, checmkmk works out of the box most of the time. Automatic inventory creation, ...
Documentation isnt the best though.

InceptionHosting

It upsets me that it only runs from windows server but prtg is still the best imo

netdata, Munin by @AlwaysSkint

@havoc but, with graphite, influx, or prom behind it Looks like maybe you're using prometheus?

Why I'm glad you asked. It's node-exporter, prometheus and grafana. And it just so happens that I just finished writing a blog post on how to set this up

(still need to make those other changes you suggested, but wanted to pump out some articles first

qps

Zabbix?

The great thing with Grafana is that you can combine multiple servers into a single graph

I'm scraping data from Netdata into Prometheus, but haven't had time to set it up on all my VPSes yet.
