• Hard disk LEDs and noisy machines

  I always wanted more feedback, so that even in the mechanical disks and lots of fans era my desktop has always shown more data with GKrellM plus some of its plugins, namely multiping to show the status of my NAS and router, and bubblefishymon for a funny but very effective and immediate way to show that system load is growing suspiciously before fans start screaming. http://gkrellm.srcbox.net/ As for servers,... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Cool but Obscure X11 Apps

  Possibly not old enough to be included in that list, but my oldest piece of desktop software I always run on my main machine is GKrellm with BubbleFishyMon as system load monitor. http://gkrellm.srcbox.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Any alternatives to Gnome extensions to display CPU load and such?

  That doesn't always give correct readings depending on the chipset on your MB. There was a driver missing for like IT87 that returned voltage and temps to psensor. I finally gave up trying. gkrellm can monitor cpu, and many other things. You can add what you want. Source: almost 2 years ago

• sysinfo-gui: A gui app based on sysinfo

  Gkrellm was not really part of GNOME or KDE, but it was one of the best tools and there was recently talk about porting it to modern GTK releases. Source: about 2 years ago

• New to mint, i really dont like system monitor so what is a good alternative.

  OP: Another option is GKrellM. It has not been updated in a couple of years, but it still appears in Software Manager. It should work with the current versions of LM. I used it for a while on LM 17.2 because I wanted a desktop system monitor and I was too lazy to mess with Conky - I stopped using it when I moved to LM 18.1 and eliminated eye candy.

• Monitor Connectivity Software ???

  Statuscake.com if you just need a simple up/down monitor. Source: about 2 years ago

• basic external monitoring system

  I've had a great time with statuscake.com for my personal and friends sites. They've even improved custom status pages to include an automatically signed certificate too, so you can make a site like status.yourdomain.com... Test TCP connection, specific HTTP/HTTPS query etc. 5 minute intervals for free, more with paid plans. Source: about 2 years ago

• Expired Certificate

  I use statuscake.com for external stuff and nagios for internal. PRTG is good too. Source: over 2 years ago

• Website uptime reporting

  I use statuscake.com for all my personal / friend sites. There seems to be no limit to number of sites to monitor for basic 5 minute intervals in the free account. Source: over 2 years ago

• How to get notified when home loses power?

  I use noip.com for a free domain name and a free plan on statuscake.com for this setup. Source: almost 3 years ago
