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

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

      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.

      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.
