Portainer / CheckMK / Glances - Monitoring tools

ss88us

Hey everyone,

I tried all three of these solutions today. They are all different in their own way.

Portainer was actually quite good. I loved the log viewing feature of containers and the fact you can start a console right on the web interface into the docker container.

Glances was quite simple, did the job, it's a more feature rich version of top/htop. I did like the fact it listed which networks (customer websites) were using the most bandwidth at that moment in time.

checkmk was a bit more complex (for me), but looks good too. The open source edition is built with Nagios at it's core.

I also tried the docker stats command and use NetData by default.

Has anyone else got experience with any other docker/container/system monitoring tools?

I think we need more Enhance tracking stats. It seems to me that prometheus and grafana is the best solution.

AdamM Have you used both solutions? What do you think of them?

I don't use because I don't want to do things in Enhance outside of official support.
I write about prometheus and grafana because what I know, for example, uses it Plesk.
And it seems to me that it should work well.
The way I see it, there should be a "Monitoring" tab in the left menu of Enhance and the statistics there for every server.
Example network bandwidth, more detailed cpu usage data and disk, and also for applications such as DNS monitoring.
But yes I know it's a lot of work for Enhance team but maybe its possible.
Of course, there are other tools like newrelic etc. but you have to pay for them. An out-of-box solution created by the Enhance team would be better.
