Looking for FOSS server monitoring UI (feddit.nl)

Hey everyone,

I have an unraid server and over the years I've gathered quite a lot of tools, some of which are now exposed to the net.

I've been mostly checking on my server every once in a while to see if things are healthy, but I would like a more central version to look into the health of my network, any issues from docker logs, etc.

Anyone got a good ui for that? (preferably deployed through docker)

Zabbix is extremly nice.

Why?

API Monitoring for Proxmox and Docker/Podman. Aka "you don't need to setup monitoring for every container/LxC/VM. Do it once for the host,then everything gets autodiscovered.
Active and passive agents as well as SNMP, IPMI,etc. can be combined as you like. Also does Website/service/application/database monitoring, SSG/Telnet checks and nowadys can even do Prometheus and MQTT/Modbus
The proxy is really really worth it. It collects data from nodes you do not want exposed and relays them to the server. This includes all kind of inputs and is really easy to setup.
Due to it being around for two decades there are a shitton of templares for devices - and it's fairly easy to do your own.
Unlike other systems (cough checkmk cough Grafana) there are no features that are only available to paying customers.

The most major downsides are the fact that it's moderately to fairly ressource intensive to run in a small setup(but does consume less than others in large Setups) and it's far less flashy dashboards. (Which are still powerful,though)

Any chance you know of a guide for setting up Zabbix with Proxmox VE for auto discovery that you could recommend?

[–] philpo@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago

I must admit I can't find the exact guide I used anymore. Especially not a English one.

But the official guide should help you: https://www.zabbix.com/de/integrations/proxmox

I think whatever I used was pretty close to it. If you have any issues send me a DM.

(And tbf, I use both the Agent2 and the API in a perverse mixture. And for some nodes IPMI on top of it. It's really kinky,but it does the job)
