What does HackerNews think of netdata?

Real-time performance monitoring, done right! https://www.netdata.cloud

Language: C

#11 in Docker
#5 in Kubernetes
#3 in Monitoring
There's an Open Source version: https://github.com/netdata/netdata

I don't know if it has the same features or not, but it looks like you can set it up yourself.

I recently tried a bit self-hosted https://www.netdata.cloud, looks very good but I wonder why it's not more popular?

It does have 64k stars on GitHub[0], but I had to google for months to find them.

In a slightly different vein:

* netdata - https://github.com/netdata/netdata

* cockpit - https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/

And then of course there's grafana which is definitely not for the feint of heart.

There are so many page-of-bookmarks style dashboards, but if I'm being honest, none of them are all that great. Of the above, I like heimdall the best for its cleanliness and simplicity, but its hardly customizable.

I think we'd be much better served by a really well thought-out framework for self-hosted/homelab dashboards with excellent API documentation that has pluggable modules for things like authentication, data sources (e.g. docker, db, config file, service APIs), and the front end. This would allow people to easily build the dashboard with the features they want, and make it even easier for people to contribute a variety of "themes" for endless customization of how things are displayed.

Is it like minimalist version of Netdata[1]? Netdata doesn't require fiddling for the most part too, Unless we need to customize alarms, logging etc. It's discovery of services and visualizations for monitoring are excellent.

My only complaint on Netdata is that its resource heavy(especially the Go plugins) and so they're not fit for resource-constrained systems like Raspberry Pi; I wonder whether Cockpit is a good replacement there.

great writeup that overlaps with a lot of stuff i do for myself — a few related tool suggestions from my own experience are caddy for https (absurdly easy config — seriously, i would never go back to nginx if i could help it) and netdata for server monitoring (open source, optionally connectable to a web dashboard with email alerts)

Not sure about Ward, but maybe NetData is more what you're looking for?

One more thing, if I want a webpage, I will just write plugin for this: https://github.com/netdata/netdata

It is meant as system monitor but it can chew up preatty much anything. And it is fast and lean. Really fast.

Very cool! I currently use https://github.com/netdata/netdata for my monitoring but I like how clean/easy this is.
Not websites as such, but I tend to monitor the underlying web servers and services with netdata.
