I use CheckMK to do all of this and more, except nutanix. But checkmk also can Monitor nutanix via the "Nutanix Prism" special agent Integration. Source: 11 months ago
BI machine and NVR report to CheckMK Raw host so it's easy to see historic stats. Source: 11 months ago
I’m using https://checkmk.com/ to monitor stuff and it seems to work great. Lots of built in features and functions and if they don’t have what you need you can also create custom scripts to check and report on anything you can dream up. Runs great in docker (I’m using portainer but will run fine in plain old docker). Source: 11 months ago
Have a look at CheckMK open source version is really good, you can spin it up in a docker container and is relatively easy to get some initial monitors going. As to whether it's worthwhile, I guess it depends how much you want to know how you servers are doing and when something goes wrong. Source: 12 months ago
An incredibly powerful free tool that has been around a long time is Mikrotik's 'The Dude'. Source: about 1 year ago
If you have a powerful enough router in the network, one of your options is to use The DUDE (Documentation). Note that DUDE requires IP access to WinBox from the management network. For some more features, you should also enable SNMP on your routers. DUDE server can also host a syslog server, so you can have centralized log ingestion. The downside of this solution is that it's unfortunately not a fully-featured... Source: over 1 year ago
“The Dude” is what the tool is called (yeah I don’t know why they called it that either). It’s a client-server application and the server nowadays only runs on a Mikrotik router as a separate package. You could use any Mikrotik router but since it’s heavy on logging I use a Mikrotik CHR as a VM just to host the dude. The free CHR license gives you 1Mbps throughput which for SNMP monitoring is plenty. Source: about 2 years ago
MikroTik has a software called The Dude, that runs on some sort of computer acting as a server (an always on computer to receive, monitor, and store the data collected from the statistics). This would be the best way to achieve what you want to do (collecting user usage statistics and storing it in one place). Source: about 2 years ago
