windows_exporter VS checkmk

if you want to monitor your windows machine you can install a windows exporter from here. After installing you can start the service to start the windows exporter

The windows_exporter iis module has a number of app pool metrics.

Check out the windows_exporter. It uses native OS calls instead of WMI where it can to reduce overhead.

Would this do what you're asking for? https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter

Windows-exporter => InfluxDB => Grafana which displays on a 10” tablet in the lounge. I know what the normal CPU, RAM, Disk write number should be so it’s easy to see everything is good at a glance. Grafana dashboard.

Try the windows exporter. It uses native calls for a lot of the common data gathering. Much more efficient than WMI.

Try windows_exporter with process-collector whitelist https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/blob/master/docs/collector.process.md

I deployed Prometheus Windows Exporter on AKS (Kubernetes v. 1.24.6) using the following instructions: https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/blob/master/kubernetes/kubernetes.md

CheckMK - GitHub

CheckMK https://checkmk.com. You can spin this up in a docker container

I use CheckMK to do all of this and more, except nutanix. But checkmk also can Monitor nutanix via the "Nutanix Prism" special agent Integration

BI machine and NVR report to CheckMK Raw host so it's easy to see historic stats.

I’m using https://checkmk.com/ to monitor stuff and it seems to work great. Lots of built in features and functions and if they don’t have what you need you can also create custom scripts to check and report on anything you can dream up. Runs great in docker (I’m using portainer but will run fine in plain old docker).

Have a look at CheckMK open source version is really good, you can spin it up in a docker container and is relatively easy to get some initial monitors going. As to whether it's worthwhile, I guess it depends how much you want to know how you servers are doing and when something goes wrong.

Checkmk

checkmk: https://checkmk.com/

Checkmk I have use the "raw" (free) version and we now use the enterprise version. Both are very capable.
