    Hi,
    i have just installed a second server with ispconfig.
    On the first i run munin to have an idea of the way the resources of this sierver are used.

    My question is if someone uses Grafana with Prometheus or any other kombination.
    What monitoring tool is the less resource-hungry one?

    Regards,
    Jan

    Munin is very much the least resource-hungry.

    I've never used munin as a comparison, but something like sysstat (cli tool, easy to script output via cron) can provide a lot of insight and has always gone completely unnoticed resource-wise.

    There is really not much if you search for grafan on this board. wow.
    Grafana is really nice and given the amount of data you can see and combine and have in one view, in 10 seconds granularity and no ugly cgi is not working scale image? Do I need to say more =)

    Just have a server / vm with prometheus firewalled so grafana can access it ; and all servers have apache_exporter / node_exporter / mysqld_exporter .... running and accessible from prometheus only and done. apt install grafana somewhere put it behind a mod_proxy or something and you can pass login credentials automatically or use different methods and configure your data source.
    sounds a lot but it is all well documented and working and still faster than fixing munins cgi graph or any scaling issue
