This is simply amazing.
Any clues if there is a limitation of the amount of boxes we can add? Oh and I'm unable ( by clicking as described )to change the name of the box.
EDIT:
Found it..
You can add as many server as you like, some add 1 some 100
I'm currently working on a new dashboard which should be easier to use and responsive.
We use prtg and Zabbix. We've found zabbix to be very powerful and customizable which has allowed us to make it tightly integrated in our systems.
Are you the guy that makes this ?
I've read good things about zabbix but for what I need Nix Stats does an awesome job
yes
You have done a great task . Thank you!
He's got a huge signature flashing below his comments. https://nixstats.com/report/55243e5b4303ed7c168b4567
His comment was a strong indication that yes.
Yes, it's vincent from nixstats.
I can't see what you are stating from my phone .
Thank you! Also thank you for integrating Pushbullet and Pushover
You've made me one happy camper today.
Two if you count me
Now I can see the pic of the cat. Failed to load before
I looked into status trackers extensively, but was unable to find one that:
a) Had a public front-end, self-hosted
b) Supported adding known issues / scheduled maintenances
c) Integrated with external trackers such as Pingdom/UptimeRobot
d) Integrated with HipChat
e) Was able to monitor more services than HTTP
Eventually, we built our own instead - which no doubt has made it a whole lot easier. At some point, I plan to release it - but by then, I'm sure there'll be plenty of alternatives out there. It's insane how difficult it is to find a good system for this though.
PRTG. Up to 100 sensors for free.
I usually join my boxes/servers into Tinc VPN and collect the monitoring stats over its internal network.
To collect data on Linux/*BSD, I use Nagios.
For Windows VPSes/servers, and/or for users using primarily Windows, I use IPHost to collect data/generate reports.
Can nixstats be used to show server overview for 3-6 months period @vfuse ?
Yes storing up to 1 min data for 30 days and 15 minute averages for up to 1 year.
+1 for Nagios, it really doesn't use that much resources. It's basic, powerful, and flat out works. I'm using check_by_ssh combined with a few line scripts to report / monitor all I need to know. It's very powerful.
Node query is pretty good, only thing is its having trouble reading the actual network usage on the box, as well as the incoming and outgoing bandwidth not very precise.
+1 for NodeQuery
Zabbix, very easy to install and manage. Impressive triggers and graphs.
Nagios
Nagios.
I actually wrote a guide on it that may help people set it up. Includes how to get nrpe up and running on cpanel servers (dnsonly).

Anyone run their monitoring solutions in docker? I figure that way it's easier to port between providers if need be - or is it too difficult to containerise them due to the varying components each needing their own container? (e.g. mysql / webserver / etc)
@vfuse, NIXStats looks amazing, could you make it compatible with FreeBSD (install wide it only means using pkg and
/usr/local/opt)?Also, for the Python client, I'd recommend using a virtualenv, that way you wouldn't have to install system-wide dependencies.
In case a server in my basement doesn't work properly, I usually just go down with
@vfuse, any idea how much are you planning on charging for NIXStats? It looks really good!
Also, where is all the data for the service hosted? Mostly US-based? Mostly EU-based? Only EU? mixed?
I see you're hosting with Azure.
Thanks, a lot of fixes and upgrades for the agent are planned.
Can't tell much about pricing yet. The data is all hosted in France, europe for now with OVH. Monitoring stations are around the world tho, nothing actually gets stored on these nodes.
Is Nagios not free?
I'm looking for something like nodequery but selfhosted so I can see info live or at every refresh of the page.
Nagios is free, the Enterprise version is payed. Zabbix is also a good choice, as well as Sensu.
Can you link the free version for Ubuntu?
I would like something much simpler than these, like NodeQuery but selfhosted.
