Selfhosted Monitoring Tools (lemmy.derock.dev)

I’ve got a lot of services, some in docker, some in LXC or a VM in proxmox. Currently I’ve got no monitoring service. Recently a service went down and I didn’t notice for quite a while so now I’ve got a bunch of missing data. What monitoring tools do you all use? Looking for something that works with docker and plain Linux CTs/VMs and can notify me if a website is down, docker container crashed, VM is offline, etc.

and as a bonus feature something that I can run on two machines so if an entire machine dies, the other will notice and I’ll still receive a notification.

notification can be anything, email, sms, push, etc.

UptimeKuma is what I use; it'll watch tcp connections, docker containers, websites... whatever. And the notifications are pretty comprehensive and probably cover anything in 2023 would want to be using.

+1 for Uptime Kuma. Dead simple to set up and configure, and it has alert support for dozens of services.

I administer a large Zabbix environment in my day job, and while it's not complicated to get set up, it's overkill for simple up/down service monitoring.

I use Uptime Kuma too in my VPS and I monitor it with Node Red at home (that is monitored by Uptime Kuma! 😁) So if anything goes down (monitoring tool too) I receive alerts. Both of them send me alerts with NTFY.
