<div dir="ltr"><div>While maybe overpowered for what you want, your best option is probably to run a small-ish vm that can do what you need, including running some real monitoring tools. I use either KVM, VirtualBox, VMWare to run them, though I hate the devils owning the latters. Usually just need a web server, database, the app, some libs, and off you go, but doing so in a VM makes it portable too. If you can't get a few gig of ram, some cores, and some disk space, probably barking up the wrong tree yet anyways. If not useful, nuke it, start over with another until you do.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I do this both for myself and customers, usually cloning or building like a linux box running ubuntu installed with various monitoring tools like opennms for your needs. Installing OpenNMS is really easy, as is NMIS, just install an ubuntu or centos in a vm on whatever box you have, 1-2 cores, 4gb ram, as much disk as you want to give it, they tend not to be too needy. Using with customers at times I need to up the spec, but I tend to run multiple tools as well, but still far less than what commercial tools require.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Any windows/linux boxes to be monitored install/enable snmp agents on, you can get most of that out of standard snmp system mibs. Enough at least to tell you if you need to look closer. Network devices tend to enumerate power/fans/temps, etc, linux it's a bit more quirky but can with the proper agents. Windoze snmp tends to be ok even with built-in snmp and adding a gpo to enable it. Macs probably do, but not a mac dude to care.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Open source there's OpenNMS, Grafana, open-ish tools like NMIS, Nagios, PRTG in limited capacities, but short list of apps for me to use. Anyone that can sell something does, and can't say I always blame them even if the cheap bastard in me hates it. It comes down to what it's worth to you, and a funny thing sometimes between super small business-ish up to billion dollar companies.<br></div><div><br></div><div>-mb</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 29, 2021 at 6:20 PM AZ Pete via PLUG-discuss <<a href="mailto:plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org">plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<font face="Calibri">Hi All,<br>
<br>
I have a growing network of Linux servers in my home network (3
Raspberry Pis, 1 Ubuntu, 1 Linux Mint) and am looking for a way
that I can monitor them remotely.<br>
Specifically, I'm looking to have a unified dashboard that would
list for each server:<br>
</font>
<ul>
<li><font face="Calibri">CPU utilization history<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">Drive space consumed <br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">Temperature monitoring (CPU, chip set,
& hard drive temps)</font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">Fan speed monitoring</font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">Some kind of alerting mechanism when a
given threshold is passed (i.e. email sent).<br>
</font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Calibri">These are the most important items, anything
else would be a "nice to have".<br>
I've looked into Webmin, Glances, Nagios, Collectd & Cockpit.
Mostly these seemed to be geared more toward remote admin. But the
monitoring that was available didn't seem to include the
temperature info or the idea of one unified dashboard. I would
rather not have to go to a separate admin site for each server to
check on it's status.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any recommendations for such software, keeping
things as simple as possible (i.e. Nagios seemed waaayyy to
complicated, being an enterprise tool).<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Peter<br>
