How do you monitor your server containers, disks, load…?
Do you use an easy-to-use web interface? Do you do everything via SSH? Or maybe you’ve got a more complicated setup?
I want to change my setup and I’m looking for new ideas, I’ve been using Cockpit for some years and some of the plugins are really outdated (ZFS for example) and others are completely broken (docker-compose).
I love how easy to use NetData is, but when running it on my home servers it destroys their performance lol. Every once in awhile I check in to see if it runs better.
That’s strange, I’ve run it fine on some very underpowered hardware. Are you adding a specific monitoring integration with it, or just out of the box settings?
Just out of the box. I am usually running it as a container on UnRAID on an x86 machine. It seems primarily to just be a big memory hog when I’ve tried to use it.
Weird! For reference one VM I run on only has 1 GB of memory, and Netdata uses 100-200 MB. Could be something going on with UnRAID though. Definitely some sort of bug I’d think, since normally resource usage should be very low across the board.
