Shared hosting servers monitoring

LeviLevi Veteran

Looking for lightweight monitoring solution which has following features:

  • Central info aggregation with GUI which can be hosted on Raspberry PI 3.
  • Tailored to web hosting server monitoring as much as possible (LAMP stack, postfix mail queues, bind monitoring etc.).
  • Open source, self-hosted.

So far tested zabbix, but infra is to small to invest into configurations and does not play well on raspberry pi. Also:

  • Monit - good for service status monitoring, but not for service parameters such as mail queue, DNS requests etc.
  • Nagios, cacti - catered towards network monitoring more. Good tools, but not suitable without medium modifications.

For those who run shared hosting: what are you using to monitor servers? Any tools to aggregate /var/log from all server or just rsyslog'ing to centrale?

    Haven't you tried Prometheus and its' numerous exporters? As for GUI, there is Grafana.

    To heavy for RPI and to much of configuration. I need more of-the-shelf solution. Just PnP.

    I think Nagios+Cacti is the most balanced solution for your request. Other solutions will be more complicated and heavy or light but require a lot of customization and development.
