What do you use for internal server monitoring?

After three years with hosting at OVHcloud, finally moving monitoring stack from ssh + free -h to something proper. Evaluated:

  • Netdata: beautiful, eats 150MB RAM on my 1GB KnownHost VPS. The graphs are nice but the agent is heavy
  • Zabbix: enterprise horse, needs database, too much for homelab
  • UptimeKuma: simple, Docker one-liner, but only uptime not metrics depth

Currently settled on Netdata with streaming to central node. The config for the parent:

[stream]
enabled = yes
destination = tcp:10.0.0.5:19999
api key = 11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555

Anyone running lighter? The budget is tight, voilà.

Netdata bloated. 150MB unacceptable. Server good. Price bad. Network okay.

Ssh. Free -h. df -h. Uptime. Done.

150MB for an agent? That's with streaming disabled, surely.
