As in, when I watched YouTube tutorials, I often see YouTubers have a small widget on their desktop giving them an overview of their ram usage, security level, etc. What apps do you all use to track this?

      I second CMK.

      A TICK stack is unwieldy, Grafana takes a lot of setup, and all of this assumes you both know what to monitor and get stats on it.

      CMK by contrast is plug and play. Install the server on a VM or host, install thr agent on your other systems, and you’re good to go.

          How do you solve the problem of runaway memory usage? Even monitoring a few dozen hosts, memory usage would grow to many GB and continue to grow indefinitely until it OOM’d, and from my reading Influx has no way to prevent this.

      No… Why? Its old, its trash. Might get hate for it, but its just not good.
