Free and open-source Monitoring tools for Linux

@hydn glad to be connecting with you back. I am mostly spending now time write code in GO and currently struggling to compile a code i wrote in GO with fyne as a front end as fyne is not working on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, so waiting for the response. Coded the same in OpenGL a short version and it worked but in Fyne it is saying the libX11.dev is missing.

Hope to give the code here soon, a complete cloud native server management tool. The other is for Pacbiohifi which is of no use here.

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing what you share with us.

Uptime Kuma is another great open-source monitoring tool that I’m using. It allows you to monitor HTTP(s), TCP, Ping, DNS Record, Docker Containers, and many more.

Thanks for this! I think I will attempt to use Uptime Kuma to replace a paid status page service.

Hi James!

I came across the article, great roundup to have a understanding of available monitoring tools.

I noticed Fivenines (I’m the founder) isn’t listed. This a lightweight Linux server monitoring SaaS that fills a gap in your list, specifically for engineers who want deep metrics (5-second intervals, Docker, virtual machines, cron jobs, vulnerability scanning) without the Prometheus/Grafana setup overhead.

A few things that make us different from the tools you’ve covered:

  • One-command agent install, monitoring in 2 minutes
  • Free tier with 5 servers
  • Built-in cron job monitoring & security vulnerability scanning

Would you consider adding fivenines to the article? Happy to provide screenshots, a test account, or any info you need.
Cheers!
