As in, when I watched YouTube tutorials, I often see YouTubers have a small widget on their desktop giving them an overview of their ram usage, security level, etc. What apps do you all use to track this?

    I don’t track their performance, I just track if they’re up or down.

    I use uptimekuma running on a free tier of fly.io so I can tell if my cluster had a catastrophic failure. There’s no point in the alerting system running on the same system.

    Zabbix for hardware, certificate monitoring

    Prometheus for service monitoring (e.g how many are actually using my Jellyfin server, so i know if I need to scale etc.)

    Quick checks: Proxmox dashboard, htop or glances, Portainer

    Extensive monitoring: Prometheus (node-exporter), Rsyslog server, Loki, Grafana, Uptime Kuma, Alertmanager (via Gotify)

    Netdata, I’ve meant to look into Grafana but it always seemed way too overcomplicated and heavy for my purposes. Maybe one day, though…

      I thought the same thing but it’s not bad actually, there are some pre build dashboards you can import for common metrics from Linux, windows, firewalls etc …

      netdata is much better though (IMHO)

    I currently use thr classic “Hu seems slow, checks basic things like disk usage and process CPU/RAM usage I’ll do a reboot to fix it for now”.

      This. If you have more servers you can also get them all connected to a single UI where you can see all the Infos at once. With netdata cloud

        Just set this up yesterday. I used a parent node and then have all my vms point to that. Took like an hour to figure it out

          Hey, did you use the cloud functionality or not? I’m tryna go all local with parent-child kind of capability but so far unable to.

            I don’t know if I’ll keep running this. Already the child nodes are complaining about increase write delays since installing the agents on them.

            The parent still is visible to the cloud portal. My understanding is the data all resides local, but when you login to their cloud portal, it connects to the parent to display the information. I’m still playing with it to confirm. My parent node shows all the child nodes on the local interface but the cloud still shows them all.

    Uptime Kuma for my services Netdata + Prometheus + Grafana for server health (alerts and visualization)

    I use net data for both dashboards and alerts. Works great and easy to setup.

    Its not well liked but I use nagios core for alerts and jump to grafana which has data in prometheus, influxdb, and mysql backend for trends like cpu usage hard drive Temps etc.
