Show HN: The easiest way to monitor Linux servers

3 pointsby mark_mcnally_je2 months ago
Hi HN,<p>I&#x27;ve been developing this tool myself as I&#x27;ve been constantly running into the issue of: I just want monitoring for my servers, nothing else, I don&#x27;t care just let me know when they break.<p>So that&#x27;s what I&#x27;ve made, you install an open source agent on your server and it automatically detects certain metrics and starts monitoring for you.<p>You can configure certain aspects if you like and at the moment alerting is limited to email only. I&#x27;m planning to add webhooks soon.<p>There is also live graphing. Metrics update every 5 seconds.<p>I&#x27;m using Django Rest Framework for the api, Django templates with HTMX for the frontend, Postgres for the database and Go for the agent. The agent has a pretty cool way of auto updating in the response to its requests, so you can configure the agent in the frontend if you need to and it&#x27;ll tell the agent what to do when it next checks in.<p>Please let me know what you think :) You can monitor 1 server for free forever, no credit card required or anything.
