What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method? (lemmy.world)

How do you monitor your server containers, disks, load...?

Do you use an easy-to-use web interface? Do you do everything via SSH? Or maybe you've got a more complicated setup?

I want to change my setup and I'm looking for new ideas, I've been using Cockpit for some years and some of the plugins are really outdated (ZFS for example) and others are completely broken (docker-compose).

My own server? YOLO

At work? Grafana, KOBS, Victoria Metrics, Jaeger, OpsGenie, ...

I can't figure out whether there's a monitoring tool called YOLO or you don't monitor anything.

Now I am intrigued to develop one that is called YOLO.

But just in case: no, I don't monitor my server. If I notice something not working, I ssh into the machine and check what's up. I don't want to deal with another zoo of services for the monitoring part.

This is the first time I’ve heard of Victoria Metrics. It looks like it has a similar use case as Prometheus, is that correct? If so, what made you or your team choose one over the other?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

IIRC it had better performance than Prometheus. We also ditched Elasticsearch in favor of ClickHouse to keep up with log ingestion.

Thanks for the info! Looks pretty cool I’ll have to check it out

I can second that. We had some really good experiences with ClickHouse and its performance. If it fits the bill, it's a very nice piece of software.
