What do you use for hardware monitoring that isn't Nagios from 2008?

LibreNMS! I forgot this exists. In Lima I have a small hosting, three racks. LibreNMS runs for network gear, but I did not try for servers. The SNMP on Linux is not default, you must install and configure, no?

Or you use IPMI for servers, not SNMP?

For Linux servers I use snmpd with extend scripts, not pretty but functional. For out-of-band, IPMI directly in LibreNMS, yes, it supports. But the IPMI sensors, same problem as Lag says: names are chaos. I have only Dell and HP, so I manage.

LibreNMS, it is PHP. I have trauma from PHP monitoring tools, the dependencies, the upgrade breaks. But this is my problem, not yours.

I stay with my fork. The JSON mapping grows. Someone from Peru wants to add, I say: send your sensor list, I add.

it's not lag, it's dramatic tension

Following this thread. I am on Nagios from 2012, so older than Franck. The config is also vine. I think I will try Checkmk RAW first, then Prometheus if I outgrow. The decision tree from YuriDavid helps.

In Osaka I use Mackerel for my small fleet. It is SaaS, not self-hosted. The agent is light, the dashboard is simple. But: Japanese company, the support is Japanese-first, and the pricing is per host.

For ten nodes maybe OK, for more it grows. And it is not what this thread asks, I know, you want self-hosted. I mention for completeness.
