Zabbix has become very easy to setup and use in recent years. It is also not a resource hog anymore. You can monitor 300+ servers on a 4GB RAM VM.

This.
I have the newest zabbix and it wasn't hard to setup. Of course it needs some time to study but so does every one.

I use elasticsearch and file/metricbeat on the client. It collects all metrics like cpu/hd etc and all logfiles are centralized. Works great for me, 25+ servers

Hi
How long do you save your metric logs and how big is the server specs?
Last time I set up metricbeat, my elasticsearch become much slower until I delete the metricbeat data

I have a dedicated 1 node ES on a netcup VPS, https://www.netcup.de/bestellen/produkt.php?produkt=2282

Indices, about 25GB per month. You can tune the metricbeat settings what to collect. ES is working on an index retention policy to save older data.

Having seen the effects of netdata in CentosWebPanel, I'd say stay well clear. Just IMO.

How much does this real-time monitoring occupy the performance in the end user server and monitoring server?

Performance wasn't my concern, leaking of data to a 3rd party is. It was removed as quickly as possible, never to 'grace' any of my VPSes ever again (hopefully). I'll stick with the proven and predictable munin.
