I’m hoping to find something that:
- has a nice dashboard
- is quick and simple to install
- is very lightweight and unobtrusive
- can send alerts via http request
Edit: Thanks everyone, love this community! I went with Beszel, lots of other good recommendations too
I think they went to 5 nodes max on the free version as of the last patch. That’s damn near useless.
The five node limit is a dealbreaker for me too. I’m also annoyed the free version doesn’t have any real built in options to secure data by default. I followed a TechnoTim tutorial to get the NetData/Prometheus/Grafana stuff setup but it was too limited and required too much manual effort.
Is that just for the centralized dashboard portion? I tend to use each instance of it standalone, and primarily for the email alerts.
I believe so. I imagine the next stage of the enshittification will be to force those standalones to register with a portal account.
That would be a truly dark day. I never liked their centralized dashboard functionality, it always seemed cumbersome to me.
I hope that doesn’t happen, but I guess if it does, I will really need to find a different monitoring tool.
Oh that sucks. I haven’t used it personally in quite a while, since I switched to the Grafana stack
