Answer from AI

For monitoring Linux servers, I often use the following solutions:

  • Prometheus + Grafana — for metrics collection and visualization. Prometheus is excellent for monitoring performance, service status, and OS resources.
  • Zabbix — a comprehensive solution with the ability to monitor networks, servers, and applications, with a flexible trigger and alert system.
  • Nagios — a classic tool for monitoring availability and service status.
  • Netdata — a lightweight agent for real-time monitoring with a user-friendly web interface.
  • ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) — for log collection and analysis, which is important for troubleshooting.

The choice depends on the tasks: if metrics and alerts are needed — Prometheus; if log collection and analysis are important — ELK; for comprehensive infrastructure monitoring — Zabbix or Nagios.
