How do you monitor your servers?
Running services, network usage, memory usage, bandwidth, disk I/O, successful logins, whether the thing is even alive, etc…
So far my only method has been “hope and pray”.

My primary monitoring system is Beszel, but since I just migrated from VMs to LXCs it can’t properly see the memory/CPU usage, so it just checks for disk usage and liveliness. Home assistant with Proxmox & Dockhand integrations gives me the rest of my monitoring needs.

I am also using Beszel after using checkmk. For me checkmk was way too complicated (but is also way more powerfull) to setup and maintain propperly. So I switcheed to beszel because it is much easier and good enough for my use case which is:
- Is the thing running at all?
- Disk full?
- CPU, network, etc. on full throttle for some strange reason?
- send me a mail if somethings wrong
Besides that I don’t need anything. The only thing missing is SNMP support to check switches, routers and AP’s.

I’ve been checking several other solutions before and Beszel just hits the spot.

If you run Proxmox and Proxmox Backup Server, I actually JUST found a better product for my needs, Pulse
My only problem with Beszel is that it doesn’t know about LXCs within Proxmox, so I can’t see if there are CPU/memory issues happening within them. Pulse integrates directly and can see all of it!
If you don’t run LXCs within Proxmox, I’d say stick with Beszel.
