μMon: Stupid simple monitoring
https://collectd.org/ does the gathering (and writing to RRDTool database, if you so desire) part very well. Many plugins, easy to add more (just return one line of text)
Still need RRD viewere but that's not a huge stack
And it scales all the way to hundreds of hosts, as on top of network send/receive of stats it supports few other write formats aside from just RRD files.

Post Mortem on Mastodon Outage with 30k users
Then you will have same problems but now you can bother manufacturer about it!
Also unless there is something horribly wrong about how often data is written, that SSD should run for ages.
We ran (for a test) consumer SSDs in busy ES cluster and they still lasted like 2 years just fine
The whole setup was a bit of overcomplicated too. RAID10 with 5+1 or 7+1 (yes Linux can do 7 drive RAID10) with hotspare woud've been entirely fine, easier, and most likely faster. You need backups anyway so ZFS doesn't give you much here, just extra CPU usage
Either way, monitoring wait per drive (easy way is to just plug collectd [1] into your monitoring stack, it is light and can monitor A TON of different metrics)

IT Pro Tuesday #217 - Python Frameworks, Logging Tutorial, Android Terminal & More
Collectd pulls metrics from the OS, applications, logfiles and external devices for use in monitoring systems, finding performance bottlenecks and capacity planning. hombre_sabio explains, "Collectd is a tiny daemon that gathers information from a system. It enables mechanisms to collect and observe the values in different techniques. It is an open-source monitoring tool to retrieve and manage SNMP master agents."

CPU Performance of a docker minecraft java server on Raspberry Pi 4
For metrics storage I'm using a Graphite database and the graph UI itself is Grafana. To get these I'm using the Debian repos they supply with mostly off-the-shelf configs. For collecting metrics from the Pi to send to Graphite I use collectd. It has a lot of off-the-shelf plugins you can use to grab metrics like CPU usage & load average, network in/out, memory stats etc. The Minecraft-specific stuff you can get from configuring collectd plugins as well, like the tick lag graph I use the "tail" plugin to follow and parse the server log.

Lightweight alternative to Grafana
For monitoring, personally I use collectd and Collectd Graph Panel (sadly the latter is abandoned, but it still works fine)

Suggesting Mastodon for the academic community.
Firstly, you can start by searching for instances of interest here.

Mastodon has reached 13M accounts
The latter. Source is at https://github.com/gallizoltan/usercount which states:
> A bot which counts users from all instances listed at https://instances.social then posts statistics to Mastodon.

For members of "science twitter" who are opposed to Twitter's recently deployed content-wall - what are some alternative platforms that help academics openly share and discuss scientific research?
For those on the fence, but know more about how instances work, this resource may help you pick a relevant one. There is also this Github resource that enlists all academia-based instances.

Migration Guide / Plan
Find and join communities in Reddit alternatives. Here's a list of Mastodon communities, and here's an online tool to find and parse through the different Mastodon communities. This is a list of popular Lemmy servers. However, do keep an eye out as some existing subreddit's moderators may create new communities on these sites.
What are some alternatives?
Telegraf - The plugin-driven server agent for collecting & reporting metrics.
Lemmy - 🐀 A link aggregator and forum for the fediverse
prometheus - The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.
PixelFed - Photo Sharing. For Everyone.
Collectl - Extending collectl to send process data to graphite
gotosocial - Fast, fun, small ActivityPub server.
Statsd - Daemon for easy but powerful stats aggregation
Mastodon - Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community
Diamond - Diamond is a python daemon that collects system metrics and publishes them to Graphite (and others). It is capable of collecting cpu, memory, network, i/o, load and disk metrics. Additionally, it features an API for implementing custom collectors for gathering metrics from almost any source.
nitter - Alternative Twitter front-end
Ganglia - Ganglia Web Frontend
