I was looking for something free that I could host on my machine but thanks, I didn’t know about it
Comment on What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method?

I’m a huge fan of Netdata, very configurable and monitors just about anything you could want. Great interface and alerts too - www.netdata.cloud

Netdata is free and can be run standalone. Just install it and do not configure the cloud integration. You can see your dashboard on localhost:19999

Oh that’s neat, will take a look! Can you run it on docker?
ArmoredCavalry@lemmy.world 8 months ago
As others stated, you can run and access the interface directly for free. Cloud dashboard is also free for up to 5 nodes. They recently added a flat-rate “Homelab” plan as well, if you want to remove the limit. It’s all quite usable for $0 otherwise though!

Netdata 100%
It feeds my itch for more data than I know what to do with and it’s presented in one of the cleanest ways I’ve ever seen for so much info.

I love how easy to use NetData is, but when running it on my home servers it destroys their performance lol. Every once in awhile I check in to see if it runs better.

That’s strange, I’ve run it fine on some very underpowered hardware. Are you adding a specific monitoring integration with it, or just out of the box settings?
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Just out of the box. I am usually running it as a container on UnRAID on an x86 machine. It seems primarily to just be a big memory hog when I’ve tried to use it.
ArmoredCavalry@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Weird! For reference one VM I run on only has 1 GB of memory, and Netdata uses 100-200 MB. Could be something going on with UnRAID though. Definitely some sort of bug I’d think, since normally resource usage should be very low across the board.

Same been running netdata for years. They’re monetizing now where it used to just be free. Good for them, it’s a great product. And it’s foss
