Ask HN: Best Open-Source Monitoring?
I maintain a bunch of small things: little web sites, a Twitter bot, a couple of home servers, etc. Currently I'm getting rid of my colocated server and moving a bunch of stuff to the cloud. (Yay terraform!) 7 years ago, I ended up with Nagios for monitoring and alerting, but I've never really liked it. What are folks using these days? What do you like about it?

Looks more like self promotion than a useful suggestion

If I worked there, it might be
But I don't
Thanks for making a false assumption, though
It's a poor suggestion either way.
Why?
Close to 2000 paying customers, and 20 years of history isn't good enough for you?
It's about adoption, skillsets available, industry standards. Never heard of this, the landing page does not instill confidence.
Hence poor choice
It really seems like you have an attachment to this project, at least na emotional one. How do you know how many paying customers there are?
Are you sure this was not a promotion of the project originally?
Keep spazzing on others' success if you want
