I like the concept of simple monitoring. Simple means it is simple to install, simple to maintain and simple to use. For me, this is netdata. Netdata could be much more, but I just install it on whatever machine and never think about it again. And when something is strange on that machine, I go to http://localhost:19999 and look around.
Not sure I haven't run across it before, but this is the first time I've tried using Netdata. Looks like it is very good for metrics, at least in the 10 minutes I have spent installing it on my local desktop and poking around the ui there. I'm not seeing anything in it for logs, though. I'm guessing it doesn't aggregate or do anything with logs? What do you use for log aggregation and analysis? I'm very interested be…
Not affiliated, I just like the tool.

The little dashboard thing is nice, though.
Why's everyone hating on Grafana? I find it fairly easy to use, it has a good balance between power & simplicity. And with docker you can make it run in seconds.
It’s still a mess, but it’s hidden now.

What is it more specifically that you think is a mess? Do you mean the OCI Image Format, Docker Inc, Docker Engine, something else…?
I couldn’t get Docker to run with WSL backend on a freshly installed Windows 11 Pro, a very common use case. I’m not sure if they even test their own software.

Windows and WSL are a mess. Run docker on Linux instead. There is no reason to run docker on windows, except if you are planning to build windows containers.

I like the focus on simplicity of uMon, and agree with author's criticism of behemoths like Grafana. But looking at the installation instructions[1], I can't help but think that their reluctance to use Docker feels contrarian for no reason (and the quip about it being "out of fashion" completely misguided). This whole procedure could be automated in a Dockerfile, and actually running uMon would be vastly simplified.…
> There's an argument to be made that the "Simple" Network Management Protocol they're a fan of is far from being simple either[2]. Configuring the security features of v3 is not a simple task, and entire books have been written about SNMP as well. They conveniently ignore this by using v2c and making access public, which might not be acceptable in real-world deployments. Oh you sweet summer child that's fucking easi…
What i do is that i use a custom private OID in the apropriate range, and then sub-OIDs in that range get passed to a shell script that finds and executes the appropriate commands (generally one-liners) for that sub-OID. As soon as i add a sub-OID, i also add it to the MIB, which has support for descriptions upon descriptions on top of type info.

When i read that they thought docker was outdated I figured i would open the repo to find go code and pre built binaries… when i found c++ i was left thinking the same as you.
If it's simple doesn't need docker, and as someone else said you might even want to stuff it into your docker containers.. so a minimal thing doesn't need docker imo. The simple landscape is huge, same as for whether one believes that C++ is outdated or not ;) Guess figure what is easier to get up and run still on many platforms.. simple C/C++, or anything else?
C++ projects I expect would benefit even more than most from such configurations, reducing the barrier for entry of new contributors by eliminating the environment bootstrap headaches
