I maintain a bunch of small things: little web sites, a Twitter bot, a couple of home servers, etc. Currently I'm getting rid of my colocated server and moving a bunch of stuff to the cloud. (Yay terraform!) 7 years ago, I ended up with Nagios for monitoring and alerting, but I've never really liked it. What are folks using these days? What do you like about it?

There are others, far more respected. Have never heard of this, looks like it can't hold it's water compared to the most commonly used systems.
Looks more like self promotion than a useful suggestion

If I worked there, it might be
But I don't
Thanks for making a false assumption, though

It was a speculation, which implies I don't know the actual answer. How do we know you have no affiliation?
It's a poor suggestion either way.

Why?
Close to 2000 paying customers, and 20 years of history isn't good enough for you?
