I tried it for a while and it sure has potential has one of those modern monitoring systems that are replacing nagios right now.<p>However, in production I would not want to run it in a docker. I would want to setup my own server with option to scale it to remote pollers.<p>In my org we ended up choosing another nagios replacement, but not because of any flaw in bosun.<p>I love iterating over the main points that we look for in a monitoring solution.<p>Self-hosted. Scalable, remote pollers that can plugin to the central servers. Locations, remote pollers can add locations to monitor from. Collector agent that runs periodically from monitored servers instead of the nrpe model that listens to connections. The collector OS agent is windows compatible and backwards compatible with nagios scripts. Monitoring focuses on sending metrics first and foremost, so you can set thresholds for metrics, just like bosun does. And of course, with those metrics the web gui draws fancy graphs for everything.<p>And last but not least, all of this, monitoring agent, pollers, they all use a standard API like REST or xmlrpc.
