I have tried Nagios, zabbix, netdata, grafana and all the possible combination of Monitoring system... but still cannot find anything like PRTG.. am i the only one suffering by this? i mean the functionality of PRTG and the installation process are unbetable.

No conf file, no database or apache or rules, is just simple as it should be.

All the rest seems to be hard to maintain, condfigure and make it work.

that's the difference between the paid software, where the user-friendliness is the priority, and the open-source software, where the functionality is the priority.

Also check netdata which has an exceptional baseline config, you can instantly use it without any need to fiddle with the settings. Of course it will need some config later if you want to to go fancy, but it is instantly usable.
