Agentless monitoring tool?

Posted by ludiegu@reddit | linuxadmin | View on Reddit | 1 comments

Hello all, I am looking for a monitoring tool that enable me to perform really basic checks like:

- host avail.

- FS occ.

- CPU usage

- memory status

I have already tried Nagios and it takes too much time to deploy such simple checks; do anyone knows a simpler tool that is agentless (hopefully SSH based) that allows me to just do this simple checks?

Thanks!

Agentless (via SSH) means you must 100% trust the monitoring tool. Once in your server, it could potentially read (or write) anything it wants to read (or write). If you don't want to trust an external party poking around your server, you can use an agent-base solution like https://monibot.io (I'm the author). The agent is light-weight and open source, so you know exactly what it's doing. It gives you CPU/Mem/Disk/Net usage with flexible alerting via email/pushover/ntfy/webhooks. Moreover, it's more light-weight than having a SSH session start a couple of child-processes. And it installs in no time at all, so you're up and monitoring within less than 5 minutes.
