I use netdata (the FOSS agent only, not the cloud offering) on all my servers (physical, VMs...) and stream all metrics to a parent netdata instance. It works extremely well for me.
Other solutions are too cumbersome and heavy on maintenance for me. You can query netdata from prometheus/grafana [1] if you really need custom dashboards.
I guess you wouldn't be able to install it on the router/switch but there is a SNMP collector which should be able to query bandwidth info from the network appliances.
Gonna check it out!
Is it easy to setup automatic responses to the alerts, f.e. restarting a service if it isn't answering requests in a timely manner?
Have you used it together with Windows Servers too?
No
It should be possible using
script to execute on alarm = /your/custom/remediation-scripthttps://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/alerts-&-notifications/notifications/agent-dispatched-notifications/agent-notifications-reference. I have not experimented with this yet, but soon will (implementing a custom notification channel for specific alarms)I'd rather find the root cause of the downtime/malfunction instead of blindly restarting the service, just my 2 cents.
