    • “All in one monitoring solution”?

      I use CheckMK to do all of this and more, except nutanix. But checkmk also can Monitor nutanix via the “Nutanix Prism” special agent Integration.

    • Uptime Monitor

      I’m using https://checkmk.com/ to monitor stuff and it seems to work great. Lots of built in features and functions and if they don’t have what you need you can also create custom scripts to check and report on anything you can dream up. Runs great in docker (I’m using portainer but will run fine in plain old docker).

    • Actually usefull or uneccessary? SNMP, AD, Monitoring…

      Have a look at CheckMK open source version is really good, you can spin it up in a docker container and is relatively easy to get some initial monitors going. As to whether it’s worthwhile, I guess it depends how much you want to know how you servers are doing and when something goes wrong.

    • What monitoring system do you use?

    • Supervising my custom home server

      Most web UIs don’t provide this, though there are specialized ones that do. For example scrutiny for drive health. There are also dashboards for this like Uptime Kuma, zabbix, and checkmk.

    • Logging Software

      For the record we use Checkmk. Which has a community “raw” free unlimited version (which we ran for many years) that does handle the log alerting as I’ve mentioned.

    • Pipeline metrics help

      If you already have some form of infrastructure and application monitoring solution, you could monitor data (job status, job duration, etc.) from the key jobs in your existing infrastructure and application monitoring solution. Splunk, Datadog, and several others have existing integrations to Jenkins. I’ve used the open source https://checkmk.com/ in the past. I’m confident that others have used Zabbix or…

    • Very lightweight monitoring of various Ubuntu/Debian Servers?

      I tried few monitoring systems from PRTG, TIG, Observium, even Uptime Kuma. I end up with checkmk. It’s not easy to set up, but once you understand how to do it, things are getting simple. It presents very in-depth information, and helped me find issues I’ve never expected (e.g. Network interface errors in VM because of wrong driver). It’s build on Bash + Python, so writing the own modules or adjusting agent code…

    • status pages with manual on an off button?

      It’s better to use a system like CheckMK (a German company) to monitor and a dashboard to get to your app. The free edition has all the main features, is not limited, and it’s really easy to setup with docker..
      You can setup multiple dashboards so different users can monitor custom areas.

      Depends on which dockers. I tried running a docker instance of CheckMk on an LXC and the outgoing networking stuff didn’t work right.

    • Need Help – Network Monitor & Security

      Hello, and in conjunction to Checkmk for monitoring you can use SIGNL4 to alert you when an issue has been detected. It can even notify you on your phone when there is no (or a slow) Internet connection.

    • Log Monitoring/Alerting – Alerts for Common Systems

      We use Checkmk. However, for Window we converted all event messages to come in via the event console (like syslog style, like graylog). From there we have filters that toss a large amount of messages and the rest we bulk up for periodic email (yes, it’s that much). This way our Windows admins don’t get thousands of alerts and can sift through the myriad of messages and we can create filters and so on.

    • Resources for a one-man IT department?

      If you are responsible to keep IT systems and services running you need to know what’s going on. And, ideally, you know about issued before your users. So, having some nice monitoring is key. You might want to checkout Checkmk for this. There are several installation options, plenty of material and a super helpful community. And, it fits your budget with a free (yet powerful) version available, too.

      Yeah, you need to know what you’re logging. Do they want something like Grafana? Or are they looking for server monitoring like Nagios or application monitoring like CheckMK?
