Nagios VS uptime-kuma

I've used this opportunity to look at some recent init files.

Here's one of the first I stumbled upon.

https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/blob/master/...

It's 288 lines long; the LSB dependency nonsense is 8 lines of that.

Then I looked up one for Postgres;

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Lsb_conforming_init_script

This one is a whooping 356 lines long, LSB is again about 10 lines long, depending whether you count the header or not.

I don't think the "LSB dependency" argument holds water.

wget -O nagioscore.tar.gz https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/archive/nagios-4.4.12.tar.gz

Might be this bug? https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/issues/861

As far as i know there is no option to log all executed service checks except the debug log. Probably you are looking for log_service_retries=1 ?

Uptime Kuma can also monitor certificate expiration; you can also enable it to show you how many days are left until it expires.

2. Uptime Kuma

- Web terminal & live logs

I'm trying it as an alternative to Portainer and I'm loving it. It seems to fit perfectly in my flow.

FYI - Uptime Kuma supports push-based monitoring as well.

Uptime Kuma is a self-hosted monitoring service that you can use to keep track of the heath of your applications, websites, and APIs. You can configure it to watch services with different types of health checks and set up email notifications for when there are problems. Uptime Kuma also lets you design custom status pages that you can use to share public information about your service health statuses and to manage incidents.
