openitcockpit.io your opinions
Hey guys,
what do you think about https://openitcockpit.io/ ?
Im using tactical rmm for some family and friends pcs, uptimekuma to track uptime of my servers but for more insight im thinking of trying https://openitcockpit.io/
Anyone tried it already?
Any alternatives?
Have enough idling and beefy servers to play around a little with such tools to learn a little bit more about monitoring, server managament until i fuck it up all again :P

I haven't tried it, but anything nagios based personally gives me a headache.
Always seems to be super annoying to maintain, and feels like there's 100 steps to monitor the most basic thing.
What is it you actually want to monitor?
Have you checked out NetData?
I used it one before but it have too much function and not many need for monitoring idle along with require to install in host system instead of a container make it kinda too overkill
If just uptime , i just use Kuma
NetData + Uptime Kuma
At first look it seems to be a Nagios/Naemon combined with Thruk and a somewhat tweaked interface and some added wizards and templates. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not exactly innovative either, feels like someone just slapped a bunch of already existing software together and made up a new name for it. Cant find any feature that is not already available as a plugin or addon to Nagios.
Almost everyone I have ever seen use Nagios seriously has used it as a backend integrated with lots of other solutions, so I kind of think it's a moot point to build a gui for Nagios.
Openitcockpit supports all nagios plugins afaik. I just think about playing around a bit with it cause it seems a "all in one place solution" at first glance
uptime (vps, domains,...), ssl certs expiration notifications, linux and windows agents, snmp, ping, dns and docker containers
Same for me with nagios but imo the openitcockpit gui is more usable for me. I can find my way around more quickly
Check out Observium or Zabbix - if you really want to have fun, check out the grafana + prometheus + influxdb stack
