From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

Netdata is exactly what you're looking for. It's basically an all in one monitoring and and alerting suite that collects and analyzes data, and provides a gorgeous web dashboard for you to view.

You can also manually replicate this using Prometheus, Grafana and other tools, but that requires a much bigger effort to set up.

Edit: There's a public demo instance where you can try everything out: https://frankfurt.netdata.rocks/

I think they went to 5 nodes max on the free version as of the last patch. That's damn near useless.

Oh that sucks. I haven't used it personally in quite a while, since I switched to the Grafana stack
