Any good Icinga 2 alternatives for systems monitoring?

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

I’m currently using Icinga 2 for monitoring checks. I’ve been using it since it was in beta. Icinga 2 seems a bit cumbersome but it has fulfilled the need relatively well.

I also use collectd with influxdb to feed data into Grafana. I like the Grafana & collectd setup.

I’m looking to add monitoring checks to a new secured subnet but the thought of setting up another Icinga 2 instance (even though I have an Ansible config to do so) is a little off-putting.

I usually like to do a quick check for new solutions before expanding an existing one.

So are there any shiny new open-source monitoring systems out there that you’ve had a good experience with?

Icinga +that stack can get pretty heavy once you scale or dublicate it. if you are trying to reduce overhead going with something more all in one can help. i use prtg option it handles discovery check alerting and dashboards in one place so you don't have to glue multiple tools together. less flexible than a custom but way less maintenance. depends if you want control or simplicity at this point.
