I’m looking for a simple remote system monitoring and alerting tool. Nothing fancy. Do you know of any? Features:

  • monitors CPU, memory and disk space
  • can accept multiple hosts to watch
  • has some sort of alerting system
  • can be deployed as a single docker container
  • can be configured using a text file
  • configs can be imported and exported inside the docker compose file

I like uptime-kuma but it only records the uptime. Other containers I’ve found seemed to be overly complicated. They requires multiple docker containers for log aggregation etc…

      Yeah, I was typing that on the phone… thanks for the link:

      As the node runs as the root user in order to run plugins as any needed user, it now only listens on localhost as a security measure. You have to edit munin-node.conf in order to listen to the network, and add the master’s IP on the authorized list.

      So, I guess the best approach is to just run it inside a management network / internal VPN to avoid exposing the port to the internet.
