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)

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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

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.

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.

Is anyone using Grafana for your network monitoring?
Prometheus is a great way to go, however you need to invest time in writing all the alerts. This was a daunting task for us, because we have too many vendors and device types.. we instead went with zabbix, which is a free open source platform similar to Orion. Quite easy to setup. All the device templates for monitoring alerting are provided by the community. There is a grafana plugin which integrates with Zabbix, so you can build beautiful dashboards in grafana while using the polling and alerting logic in zabbix. You can also use grafana OnCall via a zabbix integration. Phase1: You could move to zabbix. Realize cost savings without investing time. Phase2: learn and work on moving things to Prometheus slowly. edit: added links and some rewording

Ascertaining how much traffic backups generate
Setup Zabbix (https://www.zabbix.com/) and use SNMP (search for a template for your switches, chances are someone has created one) to pull throughput data from the switchport your proxies are connected to. This will graph them for you on a continual basis, you can then setup some triggers (alerts) that will flag over-utilization (say >80Mbps) for you, can generate an email or SMS alert based on that or just see it in the dashboard.

Any good and free tool to test network connection health? (see description for details)
Look at setting up Zabbix (https://www.zabbix.com/) you can then do ping and latency tests to key hosts/endpoints and get packet loss and other variables in a graphical format. Also will allow you to setup monitoring to alert when there are known issues.

Uptime site monitor - notification solutions for home while sleeping
Check out Zabbix. Similar to something like PRTG (I see was already mentioned) but it is a free solution. Only cost is setup time and infrastructure.
