Thruk is a multibackend monitoring webinterface for Naemon, Nagios, Icinga and Shinken using the Livestatus API. (by sni)
check_systemd
This systemd check for nagios compatible monitoring systems will report a degraded systemd to your monitoring solution. It can also be used to monitor individual systemd services and timers units. (by Josef-Friedrich)

Zabbix, Nagios... vs PRTG.
There are also a bunch of web interfaces available such as Thruk

Network Monitoring Solution
I switched from Nagios to Naemon (a fork of Nagios), the migration is super easy, you don't even have to be nonweldable at all in linux to achieve it, and almost all the config files are compatible. It's also compatible with all the Nagios plugins, but the GUI is way better than the one on Nagios (is called Thruk https://www.thruk.org)

Linux is dead, long-live Docker monoculture
Fast forward 12 years and I have Icinga2 collectors in each datacenter using check_by_ssh to run check_systemd, all front-ended by Thruk. The TIG stack is something on my list of things to look into at some point, but with Dynatrace available to do all the fancy application monitoring, there's no rush.

Anyone using LibreNMS in production?
For alerting for Linux systems, I use Icinga with check_ssh and check_systemd (caveat: distributed primarily on PyPI) with Thruk as the single pane of glass front-end to per-datacenter installations of Icinga.

Templates Best Practices for Nagios?
But there are also other solutions out there that can manage the configs for you such as Thruk or Adagios.

What to use for application (process) monitoring?
The best all-around check I have found is check_systemd

AlmaLinux 9 / network-scripts?
In that case, it may be helpful to have a reliability "spin" sinilar how there are AlmaLinux Live Media images that allow trying an AlmaLinux desktop without installing. That is not an option on the other EL8 systems despite AlmaLinux also offering 1:1 compatibility. A reliability spin might include other reliability-focused components such as monitoring-plugins and check_systemd

If you wanted to see exactly how a system was performing when a load threshold was reached, how would you do it?
check_systemd is nice to alert based on failed systemd units - https://github.com/Josef-Friedrich/check_systemd but it requires python3 to install, so there is a bit more to install onto a system.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Thruk and check_systemd you can also consider the following projects:
Nagios - Nagios Core
check_redfish - A monitoring/inventory plugin to check components and health status of systems which support Redfish. It will also create a inventory of all components of a system.
