I’m looking for a simply solution to monitor all my servers and systems using a single dashboard. I want to see metrics like CPU usage, used RAM and storage to see if something is wrong.
I just set up Node-Exporter, Prometheus and Grafana but haven’t found an existing dashboard that shows multiple hosts at once. Now I looked into Checkmk and Zabbix but I feel like both are a little overpowered for what I’m looking for.
Do you have any recommendations?
PRTG maybe? It’s free for 100 sensors.
But it’s proprietary, unfortunately.
Using the same setup, only have one host, but I remember there were some dashboards for multiple hosts, keep looking^^
I used the following dashboard now, but it’s not really satisfying and also doesn’t really fit more than 4 nodes. https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/11756-hpc-node-exporter-server-metrics-v2/
Cockpit is a dashboard (and control!) app that can connect to multiple hosts.
Thanks, looks promising. I’ll give it a try.
Question: why don’t you crate your own Grafana dashboard? Do you have too many servers?
I don’t want to configure a whole Dashboard for at least CPU, RAM, Storage and Network for up to 5 hosts.
