Hi ! I'm also trying to navigate the monitoring solutions, I thought it will be easier ... :( Maybe someone has a recommendation:

I'm looking for a lightweight tool for my personal home lab (Ionos VPS 2GB ram 2cpu), so no need for scalability or big data, etc. I'm experimenting with some services (syncthing, silverbullet-md, wireguard) and there is not much ram left for anything else. I've being reading about Prometheus+Grafana, but sounds like an overkill, like checkMk, Zabbix , Graphite, netdata...

I mostly need status of the hadware (ram+cpu) and containers running.Ideally, I can see an historical of a few days in a web based dashboard.

Currently I'm using Glances because it was easy to install and very lightweight but if I want to visualize the persisted data, I need something like Grafana, etc.

(sorry for the long comment I wasn't sure if I should have to start a new post) Thanks a lot 🤓
