How do you monitor your server containers, disks, load…?
Do you use an easy-to-use web interface? Do you do everything via SSH? Or maybe you’ve got a more complicated setup?
I want to change my setup and I’m looking for new ideas, I’ve been using Cockpit for some years and some of the plugins are really outdated (ZFS for example) and others are completely broken (docker-compose).
How has nobody in this thread said check_mk yet?
It’s free, you host it yourself. It’s built off of nagios, compatible with nagios plugins, supports snmp or agent based checks. It can email, SMS, slack or discord you when something breaks, you can write your own custom checks in any language that can output to a local console… I could never imagine even looking for something else.
+1 for check_mk.
It’s got a scriptable config file that begs for automation like mgmtConfig and it does SNMP. For me, that’s it. SNMP->MQTT->SNMP next year.
