System Monitor
System monitoring solution with support for plugins.
This software is free to use and is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.
- Example dashboards are provided in the doc/ folder, which can be imported into your Grafana installation.
- Screenshots are available in the downloads section.
Components
Client / Agent
Runs on your hosts and collects metrics, which are sent to the central server.
Plugins
Used by the client and provides extensions for doing the actual collecting of metrics.
Server
Receives aggregated metrics from clients and saves these into InfluxDB.
Known problems
Correct timezone and clock
- Ensure you have correct timezone and date/time and NTPd (or similar) running to keep it accurate!
Naming collision
You can't have hosts with the same name, as these cannot be distinguished when metrics are written to InfluxDB (which uses the hostname as key).
Renaming hosts
If you rename a host, the metrics in InfluxDB will still be available by the old hostname, and new metrics will be written with the new hostname. There is no easy way to migrate the old data, but you can delete it easily:
USE sysmon;
DELETE WHERE hostname = 'unknown';
