Server monitoring software

So I have two root servers in a server farm running and slaving away, like they should be. I want to have some kind of monitoring software for the servers and the applications (mostly web apps) running on em. Any suggestions?

75% of what I say is sarcastic

 

So is the rest probably

I'm not sure what you mean by "root" - like root DNS, root the account on linux/bsd, or some other thing?

 

In any case, ELK stack is pretty damn flexible in what data you can pull from servers. You can pull from SNMP / IPMI / Kernel / syslog .. whatever and feed it into (K)ibana and get a pretty graph / dashboard. There's even a influxdb plugin for pfsense so you can pull data from it.

Few dashboards listed there to take a look at. Muffin's is really cool, but it looks like he has a login page now...

Depends what you want, there are a lot of things that do this. Classically Cacti or Nagios have been around forever.

 

Netdata is a new one that looks pretty groovy. https://my-netdata.io/

I have full access to the server, it's not a vServer, it's not managed.

 

And thank you for your input ^^

What OS?  Graphana is nice for seeing resource usage and Cockpit is good for web management (starting vms, enabling/disabling services, etc.)
