Munin VS Netdata

I rediscovered Munin. To my surprise it is written entirely in Perl. I remember Munin from years ago... it still seems healty and maintained and lies ready on your Deb-Repositories. So I followed the Easy Install Guide... which really is easy, but fails to mention that you need to install your own HTTP-Server to serve the HTML-reports.

A bit of background, which may make understanding my choices in this lib easier: Munin is a resource monitoring tool using rrdtool, usually run in a Server/Client Setup. The client accepts plugins which are just executables in a directory. Usually written in a scripting language, but it actually doesn't matter. Data is fetched every 5 minutes, plugins are first run with a config argument to spit out a munin graph config, followed by a run without arguments to present data. To support higher resolutions than just "every 5 minutes", graph config can contain config to tell munin one collects it every second. Then the fetching part needs to run as a daemon, writing a cache somewhere which gets output when munin wants the data.

When you do not have enough power you would get errors because looking up the plots would simply fail. Sounds more that there is one disk which is slower. I had one 2TB external usb which was really slow and the latency of lookups was through the roof. Are you on linux ? Then install munin-monitoring.org it shows latency of the disks out of the box.

what os ? on linux install https://munin-monitoring.org/ it will give you disk latency information.

I'd say give Munin a try.

netdata.cloud — Netdata is an open-source tool to collect real-time metrics. It's a growing product and can also be found on GitHub!

Netdata is designed with efficiency, scalability, and flexibility in mind, aiming to address most of the challenges associated with both open-source tools and commercial SaaS offerings.

We run netdata to have a bit of insight into whats happening on the 10+ dedicated servers in Falkenstein. So far we have seen a 1hour_ecc_memory_correctable about once a month. Suddenly we get 1hour_ecc_memory_correctable like every day from different servers. Any ideas why that could be happening?
