Ask HN: Which software for monitoring single Linux server?
I need a software like Nagios, Shinken but is lightweight and design to run in a single host. I tried monit, but it seems to focus on services monitoring, running nagios plugin is possible but somewhat doens't feel right.
- lsiunsuex 11y agoWhat are you looking to monitor? I wrote a shell script recently that sends memory, cpu and hard drive statistics to firebase.com every minute via a cronjob and a simple front end site to display the results in angularjs 1.x - for such few connections, firebase is free. I run it on 7 of our servers and it's helped nicely The shell script could easily have more added to it (status of httpd or nginx, mysql, etc...) I leave it running on a 2nd monitor all day and with the data binding of firebase / angularjs it refreshes automatically so i just watch it out of the corner of my eye. I could throw it on git for you if you think it would help you.
- favadi 11y agoThat would be great. I want to monitor server resources, services status and functionality.
- favadi 11y agoI'm going to install nagios or one of its forks. Nagios feels outdated, but I can't find anything else fits my requirements.
