ฮผMon: Stupid simple monitoring

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Collectd

    The system statistics collection daemon. Please send Pull Requests here!

  • 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.

  • CGP

    Collectd Graph Panel

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • hass-sysmon

    Minimal Linux system monitor with Home Assistant MQTT Discovery support

  • I was recently looking for an ultra minimal monitoring solution for OpenWrt and other lightweight devices, and was disappointed not to find one that met my needs.

    I ended up hacking together a shell script to send data to Home Assistant which runs on pretty much any system that has netcat: https://github.com/roger-/hass-sysmon

  • raspi-cluster

    Notes and scripts for setting up (yet another) Raspberry Pi computing cluster

  • You can easily put together something that will send UDP packets with stats at regular intervals. Iโ€™ve done that a number of times - https://github.com/rcarmo/raspi-cluster/blob/master/tools/se...

  • dmsr

    Does My Shit Run - Linux Monitoring Solution

  • I was also overwhelmed by Grafana and co. In the time required to install it, i coded a simple monitoring alternative DMSR "Does My Shit Run" in python. Each agent has plugins which basically just sends a data structure to the monitoring server, which will display it as yaml. No persistence, history, graphs or similar. uMon looks like a behemoth in comparison.

  • Netdata

    The open-source observability platform everyone needs

  • hey - I work on ML at Netdata (disclaimer).

    We have a big PR open and under review at moment that brings in a lot more logs capabilities: https://github.com/netdata/netdata/pull/13291

    We also have some specific logs collectors too - i think in here might be best place to look around at the moment, should take you to the logs part of the integrations section in our demo space (no login needed, sorry for the long horrible url, we adding this section to our docs soon but at moment only lives in the app)

    https://app.netdata.cloud/spaces/netdata-demo/rooms/all-node...

  • netdata-grafana-datasource-plugin

    Netdata Grafana Datasource Plugin

  • we are in process of getting the plugin signed at the moment: https://github.com/netdata/netdata-grafana-datasource-plugin

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • openobserve

    ๐Ÿš€ 10x easier, ๐Ÿš€ 140x lower storage cost, ๐Ÿš€ high performance, ๐Ÿš€ petabyte scale - Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative for ๐Ÿš€ (logs, metrics, traces, RUM, Error tracking, Session replay).

  • I have used https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve in several hobby projects and liked it. It's an all-in-one solution. It's likely less featureful than many others but a single binary and everything in one place pulled me in and worked for me so far.

    Not affiliated, I just like the tool.

  • VictoriaMetrics

    VictoriaMetrics: fast, cost-effective monitoring solution and time series database

  • Did you try VictoriaMetrics [1] and vmagent [2]? It is a single self-contained binary without external dependencies. It requires relatively low amounts of CPU, RAM, disk space and disk IO, and it runs on ARM.

  • signoz

    SigNoz is an open-source observability platform native to OpenTelemetry with logs, traces and metrics in a single application. An open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ–ฅ. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Open source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) & Observability tool

  • Zabbix was cool till 2015, now its better to use https://gitlab.com/mikler/glaber/ or https://signoz.io/.
