Ask HN: Dashboard to monitor 10+ servers?

• ozdemircili 13y ago
  Have a look at http://www.superviso.com http://www.superviso.com They are giving away dashboard for servers and raspberrypi. Depending on your need there are over 20 widgets and unlimited dashboards. Only with curl / or any other language you like you can update the whole dashboard. Most important of all it is free.

  NewRelic? If you don't need much data retention, it's free.

  Scalyr (https://www.scalyr.com https://www.scalyr.com) does this, you should give it a try. You can monitor and analyze multiple servers in one place on one dashboard. (Full disclosure: I work for Scalyr.) If you have any questions or feedback I'd love to hear it!

    You guys absolutely need screenshots on that site. How can you be selling a dashboard solution without a single image of what that looks like? That should be the first thing I see when I load your site, not a bunch of text.

      Thanks for the feedback! Many others are saying the same thing, so we're including many screenshots in the re-design, which is in progress now. In the meantime I hope you still give us a try, or try a live demo here: http://goo.gl/BZ5GNd http://goo.gl/BZ5GNd

  Take a look at: http://argus.tcp4me.com/ http://argus.tcp4me.com/ It easy to use and quick to configure. Polls via snmp and stores in rrds. At first glance I did not like it.. but imho it beats other products in terms of simplicity. If you are looking for something bigger, then zabbix (http://www.zabbix.com/ http://www.zabbix.com/) might be an option. It is not that easy to get running, but has capabilities like dependency based notifications. For example: "Only alarm me of missing ping responses if the router of that box is reachable." I think it is a fantastic piece of software although I had to build an argus-like monitoring interface for it, so that less trained staff is able to work with it.

  A link to the Amon.cx beta[0] was posted[1] earlier today, so I figured I'd mention it. It's free while in beta and $60 for 10 servers, so you can try it without paying right now. Based on the preview image, it looks like it's exactly what you want.

  How do you manage your servers? Are you using puppet or chef? I am using the free version of new relic and I wrote little modules to use their free service. I can monitor all those stats and I am also monitoring MySQl and other stuff. Give it a try. it is free :) they will try to sell you stuff but you don't have to buy it. I can't with our budget.

  A few months ago I had the same requirement and felt many of the existing services were providing more than I actually needed or wanted. That was basically the reason for why I created a small bash script and later on in December built a web application around it. I just launched it 3 weeks ago so I would love to get a few more people to check it out. Feel free to give it a try https://nodequery.com/ https://nodequery.com/ Feedback would be much appreciated as I wasn't able to gain much traction yet.
