🤖 Monitoring servers - better late than never...
I've recently read a discussion on Reddit where devs shared solutions they use for monitoring servers. Apart from Prometheus+Grafana, that is a well-known and very common stack for medium-large projects nowadays, I've noticed a couple of options that I wasn't aware of. So I thought it could be useful to share them here.
The first one is called Zabbix and it seems to be a big deal. Lots of folks use this setup to watch their hardware, and I actually decided to give it a go too. It provides everything you need for monitoring your dedicated server remotely, including nice templates and dashboards. It's not very obvious in the beginning how to run it because it has a rich set of options, but I believe you can also leverage ChatGPT to configure it for your needs 😀 Maybe later I share with you my thoughts on it after using it myself. Let me know if you're interested in that.
The second option is a small tool that might be handy for uptime and blacklist monitoring. It's called HetrixTools. What I liked about it is that it has a free plan with up to 15 uptime monitors, which is quite generous. We all love free tools, especially when running projects that don't generate any revenue, right? I'm not in need for such service right now, but feel free to test it yourself and let me know if you like it!
I'm curious to hear your opinions of these tools. If you have any other solutions that you prefer to use for monitoring servers, then also share it in the comments!
Happy DevOpsing 👨🏻💻 and coming Easter 🥚!
